No More Waiters: How To Build Your Acting Business WITHOUT A Day Job

By John "Bones" Rodriguez

**WARNING** This book is NOT for "Hobby" actors or "wanna-bes" It's for PROFESSIONALS ONLY, and is priced accordingly. THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF ACTORS: Those who bring the check to the table, and Those Who GET THE CHECK In The Mail... Which do YOU Want To Be? Dear Fellow Talented Actor, You don't realize this now, but in the next few minutes you're going to re-think everything our teachers taught us about "The Acting Thing"... If you're anything like me, you got out of school ready to be a successful actor, and use your talents performing for eager audiences on TV, Film, or in the Theater. Do you remember what it felt like to dream about your life and what "being an actor" meant to you? I remember, and I thought I was ready. And Then... REAL "ACTOR LIFE" HIT Everyone says that the Acting Business is tough, and that your chances of making a full-time income are slim because in real life, you need to be to make money while you build your dream career. And that's why... 95% of Actors Quit The Business Before They Turn 30 Years Old. Because unless mommy and daddy are paying the bills, you'll get a job, and by the time you're done working, you're too tired to focus on your career. That's where I was: broke, frustrated, and doing shows for my friends and family. The SAME friends and family. Sound familiar? When did our teachers tell us that we would be doing all these things that have NOTHING to do with acting? Waiting tables, Temping at an office Living with 5 roommates just to pay bills Begging your parents for money Never getting auditions because you're too busy working We were taught that if we just continued to hone our craft and get "good", then we would "be discovered" by someone right? But guess what- that's not true In the real world, you need to support yourself while you hone your craft, and learn how to live as an actor- to be an actor. And most people never make it. If you're like I was, you're dreaming about sharing your gift, and getting the accolades you deserve. You're working with some amazingly creative people, and doing work that inspires, fulfills, and entertains you and others. But isn't This What Our Teachers Taught Us? "Take classes, get BACKSTAGE every week, and get a job waiting tables or bartending. If that doesn't work in a short while, get more schooling, meet the right people, and maybe that'll work. If not- teach acting " Don't get me wrong, the teachers that have taught us how to ACT are great- They Taught Us "How To ACT", But Not How To BE A SUCCESSFUL ACTOR And there's a big difference. My friends who were far more talented than me, and had degrees from acting schools were starting to quit. They were getting older, and they started saying things like "I just can't stand being broke anymore" I had a desk job myself, and I was about to throw in the towel too. I Was Broke, Frustrated, and Going Nowhere In My Acting Career... This book describes how I went from Failure to Full-Time Actor, and how YOU can do it too After I did what I describe in this book: I STARTED MEETING AGENTS, GOING ON AUDITIONS, and BOOKING ACTING WORK And my family started seeing me on TV... My mom actually started telling people that I was an actor, (instead of being embarrassed) and proudly asking "Have you seen my child on TV?" And my neighbors saw me on TV... And they would stop me in the street "Hey I saw you, and I told everyone that I knew you " You see, once I got free of spending most of my time trying to make money to live on, I could do what I ACTUALLY wanted to do: I get to PERFORM all the time, and not worry about the money Nobody asks "Are you still TRYING to be an actor?" when you're making money So Now I've Put Everything I Learned Into A Quick, Easy, Book For Talented Actors Who Want To Quit Their Day Jobs and Go Full Time Too "No More Waiters- How To Build Your Acting Business WITHOUT A Day Job "
