Acting In Chicago is Fantastic

I'm overjoyed that Chris Ago's Acting in Chicago is now available as an audio book on audible! Despite the fact that I am from Arizona, this book was a huge help to me. Chris gives the reader or listener honest information on how to make money doing voice overs, commercials, film, and television. I appreciate how straightforward and to the point it is. This is very useful information.

I've already listened to the fourth edition of Acting in Chicago twice, and I've heard the previous edition more than six times. I did that because I wanted to absorb as much knowledge as I could from Chris Agos. Most of this audio book I listened to while working as a maintenance worker.

I was always listening and picking up information as I was maintaining the in outdoor gardening, bringing out the trash, or cleaning the school facilities where I work. You can learn this information and gain this knowledge. Acting in Chicago by Chris Agos, in my opinion, gives you the inspiration you need to keep going after your passion for acting.

Thanks a lot, Chris Agos. With the help of this audio book, I was able to get through some difficult times and prepare for my first significant acting role with HBO Max. I've already mentioned how thrilled I am that Chris Ago's audio book, Acting in Chicago, is available on Audible. I can't wait for upcoming books.

The Business of theatre

This was an amazing book! I never even thought f industrials as a means to income for an actor. Great tips on agencies, and how to interact with other professionals. Realistic and helpful.

Great Book

I love this audio book. I listened to the whole book in a couple of sittings. I am in the process of listening to it for the 2nd time.
