Klappentext

Few teachers in Hollywood bring the range of experience to their work that Jay Scully does. For decades, Scully has worked with veteran and novice actors alike in virtually every area of today's business: as a casting director for over 50 feature films and television shows; as an instructor of acting technique at the university level and in private one-on-one instruction; and as an on-set coach on features for acclaimed directors like J. J. Abrams (Super 8 ), James Wan (Furious 7 ), Judd Apatow (This Is 40 ), and Davis Guggenheim (Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie).

The Screen Actor's Guide to Auditioning is Scully's brisk, practical guide for screen actors at all career stages, sharing indispensable guidance on wowing directors, producers, and casting directors to land roles at a time of unprecedented technological and economic tumult in the industry.
