With arts funding being squeezed, employment figures high and new graduates facing the daunting prospect of having to pay off ever-larger student loans, it is now more important than ever for an actor to have other ways of paying the bills between jobs. This guide shows how corporate acting work – be it live events, training and coaching, or role-plays – can not only help keep actors in paid employment, but can keep their skills sharp while they search for their next big role, and maybe even improve them. The book encourages actors to look at their skills from a business point of view, enabling them to take control over their own careers.
