Acting Career Start-Up Testimonials

Anthony Smith has written a terrific book – what I’ld call a holistic approach to an acting career and covers every imaginable facet and component required for success! Brian O’Neil, Best-Selling Author of Acting As A Business: Strategies For Success ----------------- Anthony, Happy New year to you. I really enjoy your e-mails and your website. As someone who has just started the journey of becoming an actor I enjoy your site which is full of wonderful insights and answers to questions I have had, and it's funny but it seems as though every time you update your site, it answers a question I have been struggling with at that point. Thank you for your website, you have helped me a lot as I know you have helped numerous others. Have a wonderful 2008 and may you break a leg in everything you do this year as an actor. Sam T Kelly, actor, Los Angeles, CA ----------------- To Tony, I have to say this is the best acting site I have EVER been to. I'm sure you have helped many people begin their dream! I've helped in advertising your site to over 38 of my aspiring actor friends. You are doing an amazing thing by helping these people. I wish you the best in your acting career so that you may be a role model for all those who look up to your sucess. -Rachael W., actress, Canada

Hi Tony I would like to thank you for helping me with the monologue question I asked. I went to the auditions for a Drama course and I am happy to say that I have been accepted as a first-year student at the Tshwane University of Technology. Please keep on sending me those newsletters and let me know where I can find books that will help me in my acting career. Thank you once more. Have a blessed day.

Sincerely
Edward Thaba -South Africa

I did what you said and…I got two interviews with two agents! Thank you! Sorry but can I ask you…how do I prepare to go meet the agent? What do I have to do?

I followed your advice for the audition and I felt good. I was still nervous a little but I even wrote the questions and took em with me and read them before the audition. It helped. I’ll let you know if I got the part.

Hi, I’m John. You answered a question for me about two weeks ago about how to write my cover letters…I want you to know your advice was helpful. I got called in for a part as an extra in my first movie! It’s not big, but it’s my first one! Thanks for your help!

Hi Tony I am so blessed that I have found such an informative site it is filled with so much info.

Hi Tony,

I have watched your promo video and I have to admit what you say is straight and to the point. I have talked to a lot of people about acting and they all seem to have the wrong impression about the business. Yes, I agree it is an art and I see it as an art BUT for everybody else in the industry is business and that's how you have to treat it. It is as you very well stated (as an actor, you are) a product that you are trying to sell. The more work you put on that product and the better you market it, the more you sell. The more partnerships you will establish and at the end of the day the more successful it will be. I also agree with you that business skills help a LOT.

Good luck with your book and on behalf of my fellow actors a big thank you for simplifying success in the entertainment industry as an actor.
Best,
Roger, Brooklyn, USA

Message: Tony, I continue to admire you, and to admire what it is you are doing.

Hi Tony

The guy I told you about was looking for some resources for where to begin acting, or acting classes. I pointed him towards your site because off the top of my head, you seem to have the best information to point him in the right direction.

I hope you don't mind,

Subject: you're Great!!!

Message: Tony thanks for giving such excellent and genuine advice. I am also an aspiring actress and really enjoy reading your website. I'm about to do a mailing like you suggested to a lot of agencies in New York and I hope to get some kind of response back while attend school at St Johns University in Queens. I'm really nervous, I hope this is not a wasted investment. Maybe you could look at a few of my headshots and tell me if I have a marketable presence. Do you have any other advice you could give me?

Thanks!

I was wondering if there is anything established like actingstartup.com in the U.K. because you are amazing and I have learned loads but then I can't do things like SBI because I don't live in America.
Thank You.

What you’re doing is great Anthony. Whenever I read the things on your site, the interviews and even your book, I feel like if only everybody got to read this before they got started, they would be so much better off and everybody else (casting directors, agents, directors, etc.) would be so much better off too.
