The Complete Guide to Starting Out – Performers
I have been teaching business skills to actors and other artists for over 7 years – in workshops, seminars and in colleges and universities such as Mountview, Rose Bruford and Leeds Met.
I know first-hand how daunting it can be for performers to learn to manage the business side of their careers – which is why I have distilled the main essence of the workshops I teach into this 24 page guide.
It is written in an accessible way, and is packed full of tips – and exercises. It is useful to read, but even more useful to put into practice. Everything in it has been tried and tested by my students, and I hope you will find it as helpful as they have done.
I liked the interactive nature of the course, encouraging the reader to make lists and write things down…[and]
I enjoyed the networking section, and found it refreshingly honest and helpful.
