Written by the Chairman of the Actors Centre, with over forty years' experience as an actor himself, The Working Actor is the essential guide to putting yourself in the best possible position to get work, to keep getting it, and to make a living from it. It covers a comprehensive range of topics including:
- Finding work: the types of jobs on offer, how to track them down, working with your agent
- Landing the job: nailing auditions and meetings (and how they can go wrong), writing a winning letter
- Promoting yourself: compiling a showreel, building your website, choosing (and resembling!) your headshots, networking both on- and offline
- Supporting yourself: choosing a suitable day job, joining Equity, staying positive, avoiding feeling isolated
Each chapter features a work task to inspire you to reflect on what you've learned and to put your knowledge into practice. By the end of the book, armed with your own personal Working Actor Plan, you'll be ready to find your path in the industry, manage your career, and maximise your potential.
