Created as a primer for the beginning actor, To Be or Wanna Be takes you on a journey that reveals the path to becoming a successful actor, as well as how to avoid the pitfalls of the starving artist. Beginning with the simple, yet important distinctions of how to take control of your career, and through personal anecdotes of how he discovered them, Sean Pratt guides you toward the more complex and powerful concepts that will make all the difference in your future success as an actor.

Covering topics such as finding the right day job, networking, becoming the CEO of “Your Career Inc.”, and marketing to the right niche, each idea is accompanied with a “How-To” section and additional resources that will propel you forward on the road to success in your acting career.

This audiobook takes just a few hours to listen to but the amount of information Sean shares can take you several hours to work through if you are serious about being the best you can be...actor or entrepreneur.

Sean lived the actor life and shares his life lessons so you can save time, and headache, and hopefully reach your acting goals.

Packed With Value!

This book should be required reading for any student of the arts. In fact, I would recommend it for anyone looking to freelance, no matter the industry. From creating a budget, goal setting to feeding your soul, Pratt drops a lot of great info in an entertaining and insightful way. He has been there/done that and the listener can learn from his mistakes and successes.

The book also includes action steps saying I want to reflect on, which is why I will keep it in my library of will-listen-again audiobooks.
Well done!

Parents- but this for your starving artist! Full of tips and nuggets of wisdom.
