Brad Lemack to Lead Free Discussions About The New Business of Acting
Talent manager and author Brad Lemack has been set to lead a series of free, interactive discussions about the new business of acting in book stores and other venues in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago in conjunction with the release of his upcoming book, The New Business of Acting: How to Build a Career in a Changing Landscape. In this expanded and updated follow-up to his popular first book, The Business of Acting: Learn the Skills You Need to Build the Career You Want, Lemack offers both young, new-to-the-business and "working" actors a vital perspective on the changing landscape in which they seek to launch and grow (or to reinvent) their professional careers.
In Los Angeles, Lemack will be at The Actors' Network on Tuesday, September 21 at 7pm (1069 N. Fairfax Avenue in West Hollywood; open to members only); at Samuel French Bookshop on Saturday, October 9 at 1pm (7623 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood); at Book Soup on Thursday, October 14 at 7pm (8818 W. Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood); at Borders in Pasadena on Tuesday, October 19 at 7pm (415 S. Lake Avenue); and at an AFTRA Membership Education Event on Tuesday, November 9 at 7pm (5757 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles; open to members only).
In New York City, Lemack will be at the Drama Book Shop (250 West 40 Street) on Friday, October 1 at 5:30pm; and in Chicago he will appear at the Barnes & Noble located at 1441 W. Webster Avenue, at 7:30pm.
At each location, Lemack will discuss the key issues covered in the book, which teaches actors how to be smart, proactive and strategic throughout their career journeys. The book discusses and analyzes the critical, non-performance skills actors need to build the careers they want - and how to apply those skills in positive, professional and productive ways. Key chapters explore the changing roles of agents and managers, the new demands on casting directors in the new landscape, the importance of creating, protecting and honoring your "brand," and emotional, physical and fiscal fitness in a challenging economy.
The New Business of Acting: How to Build a Career in a Changing Landscape will be in bookstores on October 1. It is currently available in retail stores, online in both hard copy and as an eBook at www.Amazon.com and other e-tailers, and at www.TheBusinessOfActing.com.
