Customer comments on this selection.
 Universally Valuable
I have read tons and tons of acting biz books, and Mark's book tops my list. While definitely short compared to many other books, its density makes up for this. I have re-read it several times and is the perfect book to pick up and read whether you have a minute or an hour. I personally find it to be the perfect bathroom reading material for the actor; read two or three of his strategies per day, and you can constantly relearn, refine, and re-inspire yourself every day. He is matter-of-fact, practical, and definitely a fun read. As I continue my career as an actor, I continually find more and more truth in what he succinctly and effectively captures in this book. And while it seems targeted at the LA film market, his advice proves appropriate and valuable for any kind of audition or acting career.
 A mediocre book at best
This book was little more than a hundred and one quick ideas, very lazily written. I'd be surprised if it took the author more than one afternoon to put together. Some of the stratagies were one sentence long. 98% were repeats of things written in almost every other book on auditioning with no personal viewpoint or explanation to even say the same old things in a different way. Not worth much, unless you are so brand new in the business you don't even know where the lens is on a camera.
Great advice!
I keep this book in my car at all times for quick reviews.
A compact & highly portable compilation of 101 succinct lessons in preparation, presentation, & performance for aspiring actors
Winning Auditions: 101 Strategies For Actors by actor, casting director, and theatrical producer Mark Brandon is a compact and highly portable compilation of 101 succinct lessons in preparation, presentation, and performance for aspiring actors. Represented are key insights gleaned over many years in the business from such accomplished actors as Sire John Gielgud, Harrison Ford, Jessica Lange, Richard Dreyfus, Russell Crowe, Sharon Stone, John Travolta, and Bill Cosby. Winning Auditions is an invaluable addition to any highschool, college, university, or community theatre reference collection, and "must" reading for aspiring actors seeking work on the Broadway state, in Hollywood films, the dinner theatre circuit, on radio or in television.
Biteful of wisdom
I have to say Mark's book was the kind of book that should have been there prior to my auditioning. It would have changed my odds for sure. I look forward to applying these bite sized bits of wisdom when I get out there again.
Thanks Mark!!!~!
