This book is a concise, insightful (and hilarious) A-to-Z handbook how to enter and succeed in the commercial acting world. The great thing about this book is that it is written by a successful commercial actor who also runs commercial casting sessions, so it is beyond credible. I look forward to putting all of Shaan’s tips and advice into action and booking tons of work!

Shaan has given us LA actors a cheat sheet with everything you need to know about how to be successful in the LA commercial market, and has a fantastic sense of humor. I’m extremely thankful to own the book, since it puts everything I’ve learned in commercial classes (and more!) all in one handy place. I HIGHLY recommend this book!
