Acting is your business : how to take charge of your creative career

After training and studying for years, you’ve earned a degree: now what?

How to get a job and have a career as an actor is the number one question facing emerging artists and one which this book answers for you. While performing arts schools do a great job of teaching how to act, most don’t teach you how to launch and sustain a career.

This book addresses this fundamental aspect of your creative journey, delivering a precise formula to help you organize the next chapter of your life.

It helps you to find work and proactively build a career by providing the tools you’ll need to connect with working professionals within the industry. If acting is your business, you must run it as a business.

Positioning you as CEO of your own company, this book uses a boardroom table as a visual model.

At that table are 7 key positions, each representing an area of action and expertise that you must understand to build a successful career.

With worksheets and tools, supplemented throughout with interviews with industry professionals from North America, the UK and Europe, and Australia, and further supported by a companion website, this action plan will empower and equip you to achieve your career goals.
