Dead On Jul 23, 2000
By Cynthia St John
This book is dead on. Don't worry about the publishing date being 1997--these are the basics and they still apply. Having appeared in a national commercial, relocated to Los Angeles after four years of regional experience, and now going on several auditions for principal parts each and every week, the authors capture the experience "dead on" and offer invaluable advice. As you read the book, make sure you have a highlighter or pad and pencil handy to jot down specifics that apply to you. I've already updated my resume based on the authors' suggestions and have arranged for a more appropriate headshot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This book is a very thorough introduction to Commercial Acting. Perfect for a beginner who wants to learn how to start acting in commercials. The book will teach you about getting your commercial headshots, how to put together an acting resume, and what training you will need. There is also a valuable chapter on avoiding Scams. If you want to know what to expect on a commercial audition and how the casting of commercials is done - this book is for you. A very useful resource for any commercial actor.

Everything you need to know to get started in commercials Apr 11, 1998
By Lisa Staton (langleyagency@yahoo.com)
This book is fabulous! After reading it, I found myself recommending it to every new actor that came into the agency. It has hard facts that you can really USE when just starting your career. Simple, concise language. Helpful photographs and illustrations. A MUST for the beginning actor!

It really works Mar 04, 2005
By Laura J. Shabott
The introduction by Jason Alexander is priceless, most specifically with his advice to grow in a regional market and take charge of my own career with a showcase. Four weeks after buying the book, tentatively opening it and finally applying the steps outlined brilliantly in the book, I had my first commercial audition and created a staged reading for a potential full production of a one person show. This is the first how-to-get-ahead book that really worked for me. Thank you!
