Hollywood Hopefuls Given Acting Primer, Free Dose Of Reality
Press Release
Movie industry pundit releases
free tell all
Hollywood insider book, announces new acting resource site.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB)
February 5, 2007 -- If you've ever wondered what it's really like to be
an actor filming a major motion picture, you're in luck. Hollywood
author D.L. White is giving the world a free, insider's only tour, no
acting lessons required.
Announcing the launch of his new resource site www.ActingReality.com,
Mr. White decided to forego the usual publishing logic by releasing his
latest book 'Acting in the Real World: The Film Professional's
Guidebook to the Job of Acting' as a free eBook download. The 145-page
primer to the world of professional film and television acting is a
veritable treasure-trove of insider tips, tricks and admonitions,
gleaned from his nearly 14 years in the entertainment industry.
Covering everything from the audition to the last day of shooting, the
author takes the reader through the day-to-day life of an actor before,
during and after their time on a set. Outlining in detail the real
world job requirements entailed in professional acting, the book offers
a surprisingly candid look into an arena that is usually closed to
anyone but the Hollywood elite.
Written matter-of-factly and without the usual hyperbole, or industry
jargon, D.L. White hopes that the book will not only appeal to
Hollywood hopefuls, but to anyone who has ever wondered what the life
of a professional actor is really like. "There is so much hype and
mis-information out there," he said of the job, "I wanted to give
actors a solid resource that would enable them to have a meaningful
career." Acknowledging the difficulties of marketing an acting book in
a crowded marketplace he said, "Actors are literally bombarded with
'how-to' books, seminars, workshops and gurus. It's more important to
me that the people who really need this information have it. So, I just
took myself out of the 'dream profiteer' loop."
While the book is available for purchase in paperback form, Mr. White
says that making money was never the primary motive. "Ultimately I
really believe in this book. The information in it is rock solid and
it's stuff that every actor really should know if they want to pursue
acting professionally." The author further reiterated his pledge to
donate 20 percent of the net proceeds from sales of the paperback
version through the end of February to the American Heart Association.
D.L. White has just completed production on a music video for Los
Angeles artist Fontaine and plans to take time off to promote his new
book. The free eBook version of 'Acting in the Real World: The Film
Professional's Guidebook to the Job of Acting' is available online at: www.ActingReality.com

Best of Luck out there and remember, you can't fail if you don't quit.
