While television commercials often elicit groans from the viewer, they mean work for actors and can be the breadandbutter backbone of an actors career, providing a safety net of income while he or she climbs the ladder to greater success. And for those actors who achieve facetoproduct recognition, commercial work can provide handsome residuals for years to come. While many books on the market include some information on commercial work, Acting in the Million Dollar Minute deals exclusively with the art and business of acting in commercials. Here the art is script terminology and procedure, commercial dialogue, camera staging, working the product, sample commercial scripts, and detailed analysis of how a commercial is actually shot; while the business side, reflecting the general industry, broadens to include training, photos, the resume, unions, actoragency contracts, the interview, the screen test, callbacks, pay and working conditions, and a complete list of SAG and AFTRA offices. In this revised and updated edition, this book provides direction on how Decipher the meaning behind the commercial script; Begin and end every commercial performance; Get the auditioners attention immediately when the camera begins rolling; Compel the auditioners, with the sheer force of your performance, to actually watch your playback tape; Take the camera from another actor (i.e. upstaging); Give the director a performance that makes his or her job easier in the editing room.

While 'Acting in the Million Dollar Minute' offers great tips on the business side of commercials, I was hoping for more detailed acting techniques. It touches on a lot, but I wanted deeper insights into performance itself. Useful, but not what I expected.

A Mixed Bag for Beginners
This book has some insightful sections, but I felt some parts were too technical for beginners. The advice is great if you're already in the industry, but it could be overwhelming for newcomers. Still, worth checking out if you're serious about commercial acting.
