Just back in the biz after many years and things have certainly changed. Can anyone recommend a book that deals with the techniques involved? I'd also be interested in a class which covers this in the Tampa/Orlando area. Thanks, all!

Expand postGreetings, I'm Brenda and I've just gotten back into professional acting for film/TV after retiring from a long career as a special education teacher. I was a child performer in NYC back in the day when they had live TV! Hope some of you remember that. I currently live in the Tampa, Florida area and would love to network with people in the Miami, Orlando and/or Tampa areas. Of course, I'm not limited to conversations with people in those areas. Things sure have changed since I last worked and I'm trying to learn the new ways of auditioning. I'm proud to say that my SAG - AFTRA card reads "member since 1954" ! Yes, I started very young.
Thank you Kelly. You know, back than we didn't know any better and just did it!
That's fantastic Brenda! We have such a terrific Stage 32 community in Florida - did you attend any of the Stage 32 meetups last month for our 3 year anniversary?
I didn't know about Stage 32 then but certainly will try to attend any future meetups.
Definitely network with Brandi Thomas or Jessica Sitomer - they are the Florida S32 gurus :) So glad to have you here!

I concur with Joe on Michael Shurtleff's "Audition." An easy read and a step-by-step process to have you auditioning at your best. Good luck!
I'm not an actor but as part of my reading a while ago, I read a book by Michael Caine which I enjoyed and thought was insightful. Acting in Film - An Actor's Take on Film Making . (I hope I got the title right.)
Michael Caine's DVD of screen acting was the most insightful for me. Simple and effective tips for new and upcoming actors'
