Customer Reviews

AMAZINGLY helpful, easy read

This book has tremendously helped my on-camera acting career. I loved it. It's a short, easy, VERY entertaining read. I actually shared it with my whole family (not in the industry) and they loved it too. IN FACT, I recommend this book to any new actor/actress who wants to make a living acting in front of the camera. I've recommended it for years :) Great job, Jordan! Thank you so much!!! Victor
