"Acting, by simple definition, means to be in the process of doing. It's not uncommon to meet people who say they want to be actors. My question to them is always the same: What are you currently doing to become an actor? "Doing" they say? Yes - If you wanted to be a musician you'd practice every day. If you were an athlete you'd train every day. Acting is no different. We feel lucky when we get a job. The fact is, we're most lucky when we're prepared when an opportunity knocks. Jasmine Embrechts' insightful book is a toolbox of achievable activities for beginner and working actors. A book filled with great reminders for all of us to do!"
Matthew Modine, actor and filmmaker
"The Active Actor is a refreshing, down-to-earth and practical guide to help you to stay motivated and proactive between acting jobs.

Jasmine's in-depth knowledge and experience shines through and her positivity is infectious!"

But there is so much that can be done to stay in the right mindset, and that helps careers move forward. The downward spiral of doubt and erosion of confidence is avoidable if we continue to work on our craft and take steps towards our goals.

This book focuses on all the tasks that actors can and should be doing to keep active as a performer, when they haven't yet got their next job lined up. An actor's life is all-encompassing: a rich life contributes to an actor's next role. Focus on doing the tasks in this book that will help you stay centred, committed and in the right mindset, as divided into four sections:
The inner artist must be nurtured and this book points you in the right direction with actionable steps to take in your journey as an actor - including that time when you are looking for your next role.
