A Must-Listen For Any Performer/Actor/Singer

This book is filled with so much common-sense and vital practical advice that any aspiring performer should listen to it if they want to start their careers on the right track. Sean Pratt is easy to listen to and I had a sense of him sitting chatting with me instead of him reading aloud. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I as a voice-actor and my actor-in-training son will most definitely benefit from listening to Sean's wise words. Thank you Sean.

I learned a lot!

This was interesting and educational. I felt strong in some areas, and in the ones where I have more to learn, I felt that very practical advice was presented. I'm excited to learn more from this excellent coach.

Content is well thought out!

Excellent exercise audiobook with heaps of ideas to act on. I look at this as a workbook that will be useful today or in 5 years. Thanks for all the recommended listening in this primer Sean! Quality of audio well paced, a bit fast for listing books to find but easily solved by hitting pause. Have a notebook handy and be ready to write like crazy ;)

I'll be listening again...and again..

Chock full of real and relevant steps to improve as an actor, and a business person. Definitely looking forward to listening again. I'm sure I'll learn something new with each lusten.

Love the tips that help avoid becoming a starving artist. Excellent performance by Sean Pratt.

Excellent advise for actors and other creatives

Chocked full of important advise any creative professional needs to know, but too often ignores. Sean Pratt gives solid examples of how actors can implement these habits and all work for any creative with some slight modifications for some.

Sean delivers the story with smooth and friendly narration that keeps the listener's attention and helps the listener absorb the information. I recommend listening to him for anything you want to learn, but are afraid you will be bored with because he can really bring any subject to life.

My only complaint, which is minor and probably a personal issue, is that there is a heading in the middle of each chapter ("So...Let's get started") that when written is fine, but when spoken would jar me out of the book because of the repetition.
