Ive always thought Id have to enter the professional world blind sighted after college; but after reading this; I have a clear vision and plan for my career. Jane writes about the truth of being an actor; and how you must be ready with a plan in order to get the best outcome of what you want in your career. She doesnt beat around the bush; but instead tells you the straight truth in a realistic sense.I recommend this book to every actor who takes their career seriously; but doesnt necessarily know how to plan ahead for this business. It helps; trust me. This book leaves you determined to follow through your plans and make sure they go through.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Applause; applause!By Joyce McGreevyI was hooked from the moment I read the back cover. No less than three acclaimed actors--including an Emmy award winner; an Oscar nominee; and an Encore winnermdash;have heaped major praise on Jane Drake Brodyrsquo;s acting principles and techniques. After reading it; I see why.Brody; an award-winning casting director; director; actress; and teacher; who has coached Eric Stonestreet; Michael Shannon; Harry Lennix; and many other distinguished actors; has distilled her wisdom into a highly engaging and practical guide. This is a must-read for acting students; acting teachers; and anybody who wants to know how the acting business really works.The Actorrsquo;s Business Plan is out to break new ground and it succeeds superbly. Brody takes the reader step by step through the development of a five-year plan; offers a wealth of resources about markets for television and film; and demystifies several of the myths about the business. Along the way; she charms the reader with delightful memoir; wise insight; and frank commentary. Above all; this very affordable guide is designed to be a reference that you can go back to again and again; for years.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The New StandardBy VentureVideoI teach seniors in a BFA Acting and Musical Theatre program. Their final course; covering the business and auditions; has always been the most challenging of all our courses to teach - there is just so much material to cover to help these young actors prepare for the profession. The Actors Business Plan has made the job much; much easier. Jane Brodys book has a curricular flow; professional savvy and no-nonsense personality that is perfect for these young professionals. From cover to cover the author offers an acting primer while staying true to the books cover. This professor says: "Recommended reading for performers and artists both young and old!"
