First sentence: There have been a number of books written about commercials.
Description: Every actor knows that working in commercials is lucrative. But many actors, trained primarily for working on the stage, have mistaken ideas about this field and lack essential on-camera experience. Now in an updated and expanded edition, Acting in Commercials is the only resource that fills all the gaps in the performer's knowledge of this demanding medium.

Invaluable for its insight into the craft as well as the business of acting, it tells you how to prepare for commercial auditions and, once you've landed a job, how to deliver the most expressive on-camera performance - leading to more work and success in a competitive field.
