An actor's alphabet : an A to Z of some stuff I've learnt and some stuff I'm still learning
Hesmondhalgh, Julie2022
Book
In this candid and empowering A to Z of being an actor, Julie Hesmondhalgh draws on her decades of experience on stage and screen - including in massively popular television shows such as Broadchurch, Happy Valley and Coronation Street - to lift the lid on the realities of life in today's industry, and show you how to navigate it. She shares practical advice on preparing for roles (don't be afraid of looking like a dick), managing the ups and downs of your career (and how to be out of work without losing your mind), dealing with failure (and success), not constantly comparing yourself to others, looking after your mental health, and the power of knowing when to say 'no'. Written with refreshing honesty and self-deprecating humour, 'An Actor's Alphabet' is a book for anyone who dreams of becoming an actor, wants to be a better one, or just wants to learn what being one is really like.
