Few teachers in Hollywood bring the range of experience to their work that Jay Scully does.

For decades, Jay Scully has worked with veteran and novice actors alike in virtually every area of today's business. He's worked as a casting director for over 50 feature films and television shows. He's been an instructor of acting technique at the university level and in private one-on-one instruction. He's even worked as an on-set coach for feature films with acclaimed directors like J.J. Abrams (Super 8), James Wan (Furious 7), Judd Apatow (This Is 40), and Davis Guggenheim (Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie).

The Screen Actor's Audition is Scully's brisk, practical handbook for screen actors at all career stages. It shares indispensable guidance on wowing directors, producers, and casting directors to land roles at a time of unprecedented technological and economic tumult in the industry. It covers:

- How to quickly analyze audition sides for an effective self-tape.
- How to brand and market yourself as a professional actor.
- The critical differences between auditioning for stage and screen roles
- How to read between the lines of casting notices, breakdowns, and appointment sheets to determine what directors are really looking for
- How to field "curveballs" thrown at you in the middle of an audition
- The essentials of navigating your career through every single audition.
- And much more!
