As a working actress, I was excited to read this book. I thought it was helpful in terms of looking at things from the casting director’s perspective. Thanks for letting me check it out!

Good information and advice given with a light, welcoming tone which I really appreciated. The author has experience and wants to help people succeed.

The only thing for me was the execution/layout. I thought it could do with some dot points or a change in font - something to break up the pages. Just to reiterate the most important points, in a quick and more easily absorbed way.

The Art of Auditioning is an informative guide for actors written by casting director Rob Decina. It offers helpful advice for aspiring actors on how to ace their auditions, break down a script, and more. Decina offers more than a taste of what to expect for behind the scenes auditions and the preparation involved, he also details his own experiences working in the industry.

This was a great read, especially for someone like me who’s fascinated with the film industry. The information provided was helpful and straight to the point. I believe this guide would be incredibly useful for those who are looking to perfect their art and skills working as an actor. Thank you to NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

What an interesting and informative book! It was neat that it was from the perspective of a casting director. Puts a new point of view and spin on it. Good informative read.
