TO BE OR WANNA BE The Top Ten Differences Between a Successful Actor and a Starving Artist

This book is must-listening for aspiring actors. Yes, advice for performers is never in short supply, but Pratt provides practical advice and timely anecdotes for those who are serious about a career in entertainment. It's only fitting that the author also narrates his book. After all, he's a trained actor trying to instruct other actors how to successfully manage their careers. In this role, Pratt does a fine job. He has a friendly, accessible voice that's both soothing and declarative. He opts for the conversational over the academic, and that's his best choice. He's clearly having fun with his material, and he successfully emphasizes and pauses when he wants to grab attention. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2012]
