While the fundamentals of Acting in the Million Dollar Minute haven't substantially changes, all the information is completely updated and revised for today's commercial actor. This includes updates on the current industry, training, photos, the resume, unions, actor-agency contracts, the interview, the screen test, callbacks, pay and working conditions, and a complete list of SAG and AFTRA offices. Acting in the Million Dollar Minute deals exclusively with the art and business of acting in commercials. Here the "art" is narrow: script terminology and procedure, commercial dialogue, camera staging, working the product, sample commercial scripts, and detailed analysis of how a commercial is actually shot, are all updated for this new edition. You'll also find direction on how to: decipher the meaning behind the commercial script; begin and end every commercial performance; get the auditioners' attention immediately when the camera begins; compel the auditioners, with the sheer force of your performance; how to actually watch your playback with tips on what to look for; take the camera from another actor (i.e. upstaging); give the director a performance that makes his or her job easier in the editing room. An important update to what's considered by all as an essential book on this topic!

She was chained to a tree. That was first thing he noticed about her. From that moment on, Will and the other two "Dudes," Dan and Tom, begin their first journey as "Dudes With Guns." Three ordinary men living ordinary lives, find themselves in a world they didn't want to know existed: a world of mad men committing unthinkable acts. It's up to them to become something they never knew they could be - Heroes. Armed with sheer determination and not much more, these three "Heroes" vow to save a young girl from a gruesome fate. What they discover when they get there will change the way they view themselves and their lives - forever.

An essential update to this classic book from the ultimate insider, Tom Logan. It contains everything you need to know about the profession of acting from both sides of the camera. Previously a highly successful working actor, Tom brings that experience to this book but through the unique lens of now being an extremely successful working TV, film, and commercial director, writer, and producer. You'll learn how ultimately succeeding in an audition has absolutely nothing to do with acting. Rather, it's having the essential audition skills, which you won't find in a "how to" audition book. And that's what you'll learn from a master who has spent a career in and around the universe of auditions and the casting process. All sixteen chapters, eight on the "do's" and eight on the "don't," have been brought up-to-date, making How to Act & Eat at the Same Time the must read for today's aspiring and working actors. And all of the appendices containing all the essential practical information an actor needs in his toolbox has been updated to - resource websites; SAG, AFTRA, and Equity locations; rules and requirements for joining SAG, AEA, and Equity; plus, an updated glossary.
