Each year, hundreds of aspiring and experienced actors head to LA hoping to make it big in Hollywood. While many of them have their acting chops in shape, few realize what it actually takes to survive in Tinseltown. Even if they happen to make it onto a set, many are clueless about what’s expected of them and how they should behave. Acting in LA: How to Become a Working Actor in Hollywood is exactly what these actors need: a handbook to arriving, surviving, and thriving on- and off-set in LA.

Headshots, resumes, and reels

How to find your “image” and market it

The SAG/AFTRA debate

Networking

The importance of creating your own opportunities

Maintaining a life outside of acting

Setiquette

On-set terminology

And much more
