"Every young actor anticipating a fulfilling life in the theater can benefit mightily from this book. There's lots of wisdom and helpful, practical advice here. It's up-to-date and comprehensive. The variety of perspectives helps to clarify the daunting, maybe overwhelming, prospect of entering this oh-so-demanding yet oh-so-rewarding field. A welcome addition to the PERFORM series. Thank you, Anna and Chris!"

--Eric Forsythe, Head of Directing, University of Iowa Theatre, IA, USA

--Guy Roberts, CEO & Artistic Director, Prague Shakespeare Company, Czech Republic

"Required reading for any business class on acting. An invaluable book for anyone looking to peer into the real world of the working actor. Easy to read, with a wide array of working artists talking about how to live and breathe acting. This book could radically change your career. I wish someone had handed this to me 20 years ago!"

--Richard Robichaux, Head of Acting, Penn State University, PA, USA
