In the old days, actors went to auditions, waited for a phone to ring and saw if they got the part. That's the only perspective that actors and agents can see because they don't know what happens beyond that point. You want to build the following, a fan base, an audience you can guarantee is going to want to tune in to you! But to do that you need to start somewhere and discover more about who you are. A new awareness must be raised, and with the rise of Netflix and Amazon, more content is being created demanding more for actors to step up in business!
This book is for empowering actors and showing them that there is more to them than they know, following British Producer/Writer/Director/Actor and self-made showrunner Samuell Benta (All About The McKenzies, Eastenders E20, Silent Witness, The Cut, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Hotel Babylon), touching on racial bias and stereotyping within the entertainment industry and why actors need to be continuously innovative to survive in the market.
You get out of life, what you put into it, and what are you putting into it, other than waiting on a phone to ring? 99% of the actors out there are 'waiting' for that big break, but this is 20th century thinking. You create your own break by taking charge and driving down the road less travelled.
Welcome to the 21st century, where actors take control of their lives and destinies! There's a reason it's 'less travelled', only the 1% of actors go down this road, and they succeed beyond heights the 99% can only dream of.
Would that be ok with you if you were one of them?
