About
the Book:
What is the most important quality to bring to an audition? How do
you chose an acting or vocal coach? If you decide to 'go pro', where
do you start? This inspiring advice guide shares all the secrets of the
billion-dollar entertainment industry, and the secrets of how to make
a living while creating a satisfying life working in the acting
profession.
Now You Tell Me! 12 Actors Give the Best
Advice They Never Got reads like a conversation with honest,
insightful and inspirational chapters from twelve successful working
actors including: Pauley Perrette (NCIS); David Oyelowo (Selma, The
Butler); Charles Busch (Vampire Lesbians of Sodom); Joseph Kolinski
(Les Miserables, One Life to Live); Michael McKean (This is Spinal
Tap, Laverne & Shirley); Brian Stokes-Mitchell (Ragtime, Man of
La Mancha); Julia Motyka (The Kindergarten Shuffle, In the Family);
Alexandra Neil (As the World Turns, Rock 'n' Roll); Michael O'Neill
(The West Wing, Grey's Anatomy); Eden Sher (The Middle, Weeds); Sam
Waterston (Law & Order, King Lear); the last major interview with
Lynn Redgrave and a bonus interview with director Kent Paul.
Most importantly, the subtitle of the book is Making a Living;
Making a Life. The editors of this book have carefully selected
professional actors who have not only been successful in their chosen
professions, but have also made purposeful decisions when it comes to
building a good life. The diverse group of actors in Now You Tell
Me! have shared their experience in balancing their careers with
their personal lives, offering a dialogue about making a living while
making a life for the actor. Their admissions and observations will
be fascinating for fans, but for those in the acting trenches, this
warm and wise advice can cut twenty years off the learning curve.

it." — Charles Busch
