Customer Review #1:
A Must Have For Breaking Into "The Biz"
Mr. ONeils last edition of Acting As A Business was the first book that I read when I got out of college, and it proved invaluable in helping me break into the New York acting scene. This latest edition provides even more strategies of how to be a competitive player in the market.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;What Mr. ONeil illustrates in this edition is so direct and clear, yet so many of my peers remain in the dark, because they never read his book. They are continuing to waste their time and money, rather than do what needs to be done, which is outlined in even greater detail in this latest edition.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;After reading this book, I landed an agent, had a recurring role as a college student on All My Children, became eligible to join SAG, worked at some top NYC theatres, booked several national commercials, and secured meetings with not only top managers, but with Warner Bros. Televison (twice)- all because I did what Mr. ONeil said to do!!
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Mr. ONeils book should be required reading for any aspiring actor, and, moreover, should be part of the cirriculum at any university drama department or acting school.

Customer Review #2:
A Must-Have For Both New and Veteran Actors
I have had an interest in drama all my life, but lacked the knowledge of how to go about turning that passion into a career. The last edition of Acting As A Business gave me a specific plan of action, and led me to get into AFTRA, then SAG. This newest edition has even more invaluable information to someone at any stage of their career.
lt;br /gt;After having purchased a slew of other books that turned out to be full of little more than "pep-talks", this one stands out as a reference tool that I will always have handy. I bought three as gifts for actor friends, and every one of them had something specific they got from it that made Acting As A Business invaluable.
lt;br /gt;Mr. ONeil cuts through the mumbo-jumbo and gets right down to business, not only educating, but motivating the reader to take action... the hardest part for MOST creative types.
lt;br /gt;I especially suggest it to those just starting out. It should be required reading for anyone seeking to de-mystify the baffling task of starting a real, legitimate career as an actor.
