"This book should be part of every resourceful actor's armory."—Annette Badland

"A really useful book for every actor to own."—Prunella Scales

"The definitive answer to that question: 'I want to be an actor. Where do I start?'"—Daily Express

Make Acting Work is an essential guide for anyone wishing to develop a career in this exciting but unpredictable profession. It offers a level-headed appraisal of the challenges that actors face and identifies a wide range of opportunities that exist for the resourceful. Practical advice is given on all the critical elements, including preparing a CV, photographs, demo-tape and showreel, getting an agent, and auditioning. The book explains the different requirements of theatre, radio, film, and television, and provides the most comprehensive survey yet published of less traditional - although no less lucrative - areas of work such as voice-overs, corporate training videos, platform performances, role play, and murder-mystery weekends.

Illustrated throughout with case studies and anecdotes from members of the profession, Make Acting Work is an invaluable guide that no enterprising actor will want to be without.
