- Summary
- "This volume offers strategic approaches to auditioning for women, men, and non-binary actors of the global majority. It provides a fresh approach from the perspectives of two directors of color who are also actors working in theater, film, and television"--
- In this book, the authors "combine practical advice, cultural studies, Black feminist perspectives, and lived experiences to offer actors of color an intersectional approach to auditioning. The ten steps outlined in this book aid actors across racial lines seeking to develop the necessary skills to break down a character and script while affirming their full selves into the audition to book the role. [this book] emboldens BIPOC actors to embrace every aspect of their identities rather than leaving themselves behind in an effort to gain entry and access to the entertainment industry."-- back cover.
