A NOTE FROM DEREK
I’m Derek Barr, actor, coach and founder of The Acting Masters. I’ve worked with hundreds of casting directors throughout my acting career, with screen credits including Casualty, Little Boy Blue and This England.
I’ve walked into auditions trying to control everything. I’ve talked myself out of contacting people. This book brings together what those experiences taught me and what we’ve learned from casting professionals inside TAM.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Start with one principle. Put it into practice in your next audition, self-tape or industry email.
