About this listen

This is the THIRD EDITION of a popular acting book that was originally published in 2009. So much has changed in the acting profession since then, even since the SECOND EDITION that was published in 2012. In this book you will find the most up-to-date information on How To Book Acting Jobs. A significant book on the casting process for network, cable, streaming, new media and film, told with compassion, wisdom, and brutal honesty by someone who has spent 25 years (and counting) in the audition, working on Emmy-winning TV shows. Cathy shares the secrets of 'the audition,' the pressure cooker where television and film careers are made, revived, or derailed. It also discusses the self-tape trend and how to make your self-tape audition really soar. Topics not found in any other book of it's kind include: The Different Styles of Auditioning For Each Type of Episodic, Film, Commercial, and Webseries. What is Sex Appeal, and How To Project It? Ten Secrets of Charisma: What We Are Drawn To and How To Enhance Your Own. The Transition from Theatre to On-Camera Work. The Demystification of the Audition Process. Current Trends in Casting That Have Changed the Way We Cast. How to be an Influencer and Entrepreneur. The book also looks at an actor holistically, covering the mind set and daily habits needed to succeed, or at the very least provide you a better chance as there are never any guarantees of success in the Entertainment Industry. There is, however, a way to stay healthy, focused, and optimistic through the rollercoaster journey that is the acting profession. Casting directors and actors have a special relationship. We are the ones who say "YES, we want to give you an opportunity because we think you have something special in you, to share with the world." We say "no" more than we say "yes." This book is designed to get you to "yes!" REVIEW OF SECOND EDITION “Cathy Reinking is the real deal, and reading this book almost feels like sitting down with her & her being very generous with her time and sharing a great deal of her experience. It's not a hand holding, 'gee you're great' kind of book. It is an eye opener and a wake up call. As an actor in this industry you know there's a lot that is out of your control. However, there's more in your control than you may have realized, and the author discusses these things in detail. I loved the chapter on charisma. Heck, this is helpful for anyone, in any walk of life. There's info. you'll get in this book that I haven't found anywhere else. I finally understand pilot season...what it is & how it works. I now understand the difference between a multi-camera sitcom & a single-camera sitcom, and comedic films vs. episodic comedies. I've heard many times things like, "When you walk in that room, they want it to be you. They're rooting for you." I believe this is true, but after reading this book I now have a better understanding of just what that means. This will definitely be a re-read year after year.” - J. Baskette-Ridings, Actress, Amazon Reader REVIEW OF FIRST EDITION “As someone who has coached actors for film and television auditions in Los Angeles for the last 14 years, I can honestly say Cathy's book says it all! Every- thing you need to know about what to expect, and everything you need to improve your auditioning skills immediately, is in this book. I also love the fact that there is no extraneous B.S! She keeps it simple and clear with no confusing and useless information. Too many "how to' books about the business "talk too much' and give actors directives that do nothing but confound the process. I highly recommend Cathy's book to every actor auditioning, or thinking about auditioning for film and television anywhere in the world. I would also recommend it to every acting teacher and coach as well!”- Sam Stevens, Los Angeles Entertainment & Performing Arts Celebrity
