Well-written and a terrific "go-to" book!By MJ BrewerWhile the fact of Nancy Carson being an absolute expert in the industry; with Jacqueline Shannon giving a hand; a parent of a "future star" needs this book. [...] The information contained in the book has a lot of information necessary to read BEFORE you groom your child and take her halfway across the state to an audition that is a scam. Speaking from experience? You betcha!An example in the book is how auditioning companies say they are free of charge and only rely on the 15% commission. When the excited parent and child arrive; dreams in hand; the salesperson (cleverly disguised as an agent) tells you how the photos youve brought arent quite what theyre looking for; but they have a great photographer who will only cost between $300 and $500; willing to do payments. This is AFTER theyve seen numerous photos; interviewed the child and had her sing; but wont know if they want to hire her before their photographer takes pictures. Nancy tells you how the real game is played and that interested agencies will want one clean; face-front; photo without props or clutter in the background. AFTER they sign your child; they will discuss classes; photos; etc. This is simply one of the facets talked about in this book. They talk about voice; music; modeling; and other areas of entertainment.When you are serious about getting your child into show business; as more than an expensive hobby; youll want this book to read first!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Solid overview for setting expectationsBy a readerAlthough I read the book for background research; and am not the intended audience; I thought the author did a good job of giving details about what goes into getting a child noticed by an agent. The insights on the parents sacrifice of time during the audition process; as well as after a child is selected; was especially helpful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
