Customer Reviews

Very practical

This book gives the actor perspective from the casting director's point of view and helps one understand how preparation can ease audition anxiety. I first read this book many years ago when I started out in acting and would recommend it to novice actors or actors taking their careers to the professional level.

Like Holding Someone's Hand on the Way to the Audition

Great tips for those who want to be working actors. At first I perused this as a library book, but quickly realized how helpful it would be, so I bought it. It's been a few years since I read it all, but I still use advice from its pages (like "have something creative to do after the audition..." or "your audition is not over until you are out the door"). It reminds me of Michael Shurtleff's 'Audition', though Gordon Hunt's book is a bit more contemporary.

Excelent. Clear and right to the point.

I bought this book after checking nine more in the bookstore. Despite I have two more in my wish list, this was perfect for me, because I was going to an interview three days later. So I devored the book, specially the interviews with different casting directors, because you learn from first hand. I went to the interview with a handfull of resources, and very confident.I also recomend "Audition" by Shurtleff, the best of the best. And "Acting is everything", full of resources.

Greatest aide for actors/those wanting to enter the industry

I bought this book simply because Helen Hunt's father wrote it. I want to be an agent, and I found the information provided in this book to be an incredible resource, and something I share with all the actors, and those wanting to break into the industry, that I know!
