An indispensable resource for all actors.
So you want to be an actor? Then buy this book. You'll learn more reading these 248 pages than you will reading thousands of pages in all those other books on the business of acting.

Actors have a tendency to let other people run their careers. They sit home waiting for the phone to ring when they could be out working on making their career happen. In this book Ms. Gillespie outlines plan to let you take control of your own career. I can't reccomend it highly enough.

Self Management for Actors
Quite simply a must for any actor who wants to eliminate the confusion about their career. Remember, its show "BUSINESS" and this book can guide any actor on how to make sure their business is at the top of its game.

A must read!!

Excellent read for the parents of aspiring actors
You don't have to be an actor to enjoy this book. As a parent of an "aspiring actor" this book as well as "Casting Q's" has been an absolute Godsend!!! I don't know how I could have helped my son through the audition process without having these two books to refer to. It helps me to understand what he goes through and to discuss things after. (otherwise how would I know what he was talking about) Most importantly it is a huge aid in keeping a positive attitude after an audition because the books explain every aspect of the audition process.

Self-Management for Actors has one section in the book where you can actually "follow" an actor through an average day of her auditions...it's fantastic!! As well there is a section on "What's my Type" This was my son's favorite chapter, he says this is always a question he has on his mind as he works his way up the auditioning ladder.

My son and I refer to both books constantly, you don't just read these type of books once. So to sum it up...a MUST HAVE for actors AND parents of actors!!!
