Many musical theatre actors confuse competence with excellence. We mistake arriving in NYC with a well-trained voice, a pricy headshot, and general show biz acumen for being ready to work where Broadway happens. Then, when too many auditions end up no-gos, we assume it’s not meant to be and book a one-way ticket back home. If only a fairy godmother had told them the truth: Show business has more to do with business than show. Building a lucrative and lifelong career in musical theatre is far more in an actor’s control than not.
Since 2012, award-winning musical theatre professionals Lindsay Mendez and Ryan Scott Oliver have not only built their own successful careers, but also helped thousands of performers forge their unique paths in the industry through their NYC-based Actor Therapy training program.
How to Succeed in Musical Theatre Without Really Dying is their comprehensive guide, featuring time-tested tools, knowledge bombs, wake-up calls, and timely wisdom for any professional actor who wants to:
- Stand out in their field by being not what they think casting directors want, but by being the most of who they are
- Build asolid book of audition repertoire to sell their key product: themselves.
- Identify their personal brand for both prospective employers and colleagues
- Navigate relationships with collaborators, both those they work for and those who work for them
- Thrive long-term by focusing on personal strategies relatedto finance, mental health, and long-term planning
Ready to master your craft and shine like you’ve always known you could? Let How to Succeed in Musical Theatre Without Really Dying take the mystery out of this wonderful, maddening industry and help you navigate your path forward, guided by two experts cheering you on every step of the way.
