This book is a brilliant resource to have on your journey. No matter where you find yourself in your career, it can give you a new direction, tactics or focus when you feel a bit lost. * Syrus Lowe, actor * An important guide for me since I first had ambitions to enter the industry … Not just a source of vital contacts, it also carries those extra bits of information that make the difference: the ethos of a particular training institution, the type of work a casting director or producer specialises in or the months when a major venue is open to new submissions. * Rob Ostlere, actor * Use of this book will save you time and money * Samuel West, actor * Wherever you are from and whatever your background, this book has the resources and tools that can help you navigate your way. There is a wealth of information from industry contact details to articles and interviews. * Sam Stevenson, casting director * The Actors’ and Performers’ Yearbook is the industry’s best kept secret in my view. A one-stop shop for insight and vital information. I cannot recommend it highly enough * Lucian Msamati, actor * This book is brilliant. I've been in the biz for over 30 years and I would have loved to have this when I was starting out, but I'm really glad it exists now. Bravo to all contributors. * Paterson Joseph, actor *
