This evidence-informed roadmap shows you how to thrive in an industry where rejection is part of the job and only 2 per cent of actors make a living from performing. Beyond the Spotlight is your survival guide and inspiration for building a fulfilling career in the performing arts. Whether your chasing your first role or questioning your place in the industry, Beyond The Spotlight offers guidance and skills for any stage of your career.

Beyond the Spotlight pulls back the curtain on the performing arts industry, revealing what it really takes to succeed.

This book helpfully attests to the trials, tribulations (and sometimes triumphs!) of being an actor, through a practical and actionable lens.
