How to Sell Yourself as an Actor by K. Callan

From the Publisher

K. Callan is tough. So is her book. In How to Sell Yourself as an Actor, the actress/author sets us straight right from the start, explaining that knowing how to act doesn't ipso facto make you an actor. If you're one of those actors who refuses to think of himself as a product which must be sold, and prefers to believe that acting is art, Callan puts things in perspectiveshow business is about making money: art is extra. Callan's no-nonsense book provides both newly arrived and long-arrived actors with the nuts and bolts information about how to be more saleable to casting people, agents, producers and directors. More importantly, she encourages you to call upon your courage, vision and entrepreneurial skills to take your career in your own hands and stop waiting to be asked to work.
