It's 2020, and the acting business has changed dramatically, no thanks to Covid-19. There are over 538 scripted shows on television that are now on hiatus. Amazon, Hulu and Netflix have changed the game for television, giving actors more opportunities than ever before. There are over 60 shows currently casting or filming out of New York, many more in Los Angeles, as well as in other emerging markets. Casting directors are hiring actors from self-tapes more than ever before, and actors need to be ready to turn around an amazing audition on a dime. It’s ultra-competitive, and actors need to stay on their toes and keep up to date on current trends and expectations in an ever-changing world. The No. B.S. Guide to the Acting Biz is an insider’s look into the business of acting, with a humorous, refreshingly candid, shoot from the hip approach by one of our top industry experts. Matt Newton, a professional actor and acclaimed acting coach, gives clear-cut, unfailingly honest lessons from what he’s learned through his decades in the business. With relevant, provocative and often hilarious stories he guides the reader to a greater awareness of how the modern industry works and what that means for an actor. With an inspiring foreword from the successful actor Michael Urie (“Ugly Betty,” “Younger,” “Partners”), The No. B.S. Guide to the Acting Biz presents current, first-hand experience and professional insight into the actual business of acting today.
