An honest and very real guide to everything you need to know about show bizBy Marc TA no-nonsense guide to everything you need to know about the exciting and emotionally charged world of acting. I bought this book for my son who performed for Jen at an acting camp in NYC in August 2017. Its a terrific read and covers everything from different acting opportunities to technology to aid any actor. Not only is Confessions an extremely useful guide for the actor but also for the mums ad dads whose youngster is keen on getting into acting.The book is loaded with solid advice; useful and helpful tips and a wide range of stories as told by actors themselves. All this coupled with may of Jens personal tails behind the camera; on stage and on the road will give you the first-hand knowledge you need to help ensure every success possible.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. This Is the Real Deal!By KimmieLovesTheatreIf you want the straight; unvarnished truth about the business; then read this book. Jens first-hand experience is invaluable having lived through and succeeded in multiple facets of the business in both NYC LA. Her advice and guidance is priceless to the beginning actor and the already-established performer will find many valuable nuggets that can only be learn directly from someone who has been there. Though actors of all ages will find her anecdotes instructive; if you have a child interested in the business; pay particular attention to the Stage Mom sections of the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Highly recommend!By CustomerI picked up Jen Rudins book as a potential resource for my voice over students- I happily found that the book was not only a great tool for my students; but for me as talent too. Jens down-to-earth and honest style; ability to relay essential information about working in the entertainment business in digestible chunks; and her talent for storytelling keeps the reader engaged. Moreover; her humor and real life experience as a child actor offers the reader a well rounded perspective. If you are new to the biz or have plateaued in your career I highly recommend "Confessions of a Casting Director"! -Tina Zaremba
