This amazing; concise book is the best thing Ive read ...By Lois LeftwichThis amazing; concise book is the best thing Ive read on how to audition effectively. When faced with the vacuum of the audition room; it is essential for an actor to have a set of logical; usable tools that will make it possible to give an inspired audition. Holly has given us these tools in her book; as well as some fun inside stories of what happens in a casting session. The Audition Bible: Secrets Every Actor Needs To Know is aptly named as it provides and reminds actors at any level of experience just what they need to do as they prepare for an audition and once they are actually auditioning. It can be a strange; scary world; but Holly has shown a light on the process and stated precisely what the actor needs to know in an easy-to-read or reference format. Whatever you are auditioning for; you will find tons of helpful advise in this book. Thanks Holly!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Audition Secrets from Hollywood InsiderBy S.
