The Actor's Bible on your Journey

I read Dawn Lerman's book after a chance meeting with a good friend of mine who had been speaking highly of her work. I went to Barnes & Noble one day, sat down for three hours and read the whole book. The Information in this book is highly valuable to the young and old alike starting out in the biz. Although the book is mostly catered to L.A. the information on classes, networking and the hollistic approach to acting can be used for anyone anywhere to acheive success.

Currently I reside in NY and have found great success here. When the timing is right this will definitely be in my carry on when I take that trip.

if i was going to try to be an actor in la..i would follow these steps

for a nanosecond of my life..i thought about pursuing acting as a career, either thru stage or tv/film. so i decided to do some research about doing it. and i came across this book and decided to give it a try. very easy to read and very informative. i only gave it 4 stars because i chickened out and decided to not try to be an actor..so i dont know if these things are true that they wrote about. but none the less very entertaining! the only thing that i remember from the book was..dont do porn if you want to be taken seriously! hahaha i guess traci lords should have read this book first.

This is a MUST read

I moved out to LA from NYC and found the whole acting business very intimidating. It was my good fortune that a fellow actor I met at a commercial casting recommended this inspiring book to me. It is filled with valuable information that all actors new to this city need to have at their fingertips. Dawn Lerman practically takes you by the hand and walks you thru all the things you can do to promote your success in an incredibly competitive industry. She writes not only with the saviness of an actor who has learned to hustle to manifest success but the heart and care of a drama therapist. I appreciate Lerman's diligent study of how to take as much control as possible in a career where you can feel so powerless. Many thanks to the authors!
