So You Want To Be An Actor?

by Timothy West and Prunella Scales

A handbook by two of the best-known names in the business. Essential reading for any aspiring actor. This short book offers practical advice and the “dos and don’ts” to anyone considering a career in acting. Both authors are passionate about actor training, know the profession inside out and, as they say in their intro, have more than 100 years’ experience between them! They cover the whole gamut from:

Applying to drama school

Auditioning

Training

Unpaid work

Television work

Getting an agent

Enduring a West End run

“One of the most valuable books for young and aspiring actors that I have read in recent years… a book to keep with you from debut to death.”
