The Art of Auditioning is an informative guide for actors written by casting director Rob Decina。 It offers helpful advice for aspiring actors on how to ace their auditions， break down a script， and more。 Decina offers more than a taste of what to expect for behind the scenes auditions and the preparation involved， he also details his own experiences working in the industry。 This was a great read， especially for someone like me who’s fascinated with the film industry。 The information provided wa The Art of Auditioning is an informative guide for actors written by casting director Rob Decina。 It offers helpful advice for aspiring actors on how to ace their auditions， break down a script， and more。 Decina offers more than a taste of what to expect for behind the scenes auditions and the preparation involved， he also details his own experiences working in the industry。 This was a great read， especially for someone like me who’s fascinated with the film industry。 The information provided was helpful and straight to the point。 I believe this guide would be incredibly useful for those who are looking to perfect their art and skills working as an actor。 Thank you to NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for this eARC in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

What an interesting and informative book！ It was neat that it was from the perspective of a casting director。 Puts a new point of view and spin on it。 Good informative read。

Reread in 2021 as a refresher course for my co-star auditions。 Highly recommend again！ ** A must read for any working actor or actor trying to bridge the divide from commercial to legit on-camera auditions。 Although some paragraphs are a bit dated， the approach and concepts are extremely applicable。 If you’re in the NYC area， take his three week class。 Also， this is currently out of print （thank you e-bay）， but Rob has said he is currently working on an updated version

Rob Decina’s script breakdown method has been really helpful to me。 For years I “understood” what different beats are in a script， but it turns out I had no idea。 Rob’s aproach boils down script analysis to pristine simplicity。 I love the use of subject words and feel words。 The book is a bit outdated that it has soap operas as the main focus， which do not really exist anymore。 Unless you count This is Us or those Freeform shows。 I also do not think they do screen tests anymore， they didn’t do i Rob Decina’s script breakdown method has been really helpful to me。 For years I “understood” what different beats are in a script， but it turns out I had no idea。 Rob’s aproach boils down script analysis to pristine simplicity。 I love the use of subject words and feel words。 The book is a bit outdated that it has soap operas as the main focus， which do not really exist anymore。 Unless you count This is Us or those Freeform shows。 I also do not think they do screen tests anymore， they didn’t do it to me atleast。 I am a huge fan of Rob Decina’s and his technique。 Looking forward to purchasing the second edition （audition ha！） of this book！ Bravo！ 。。。more
