It’s packed with practical information—on everything from what to say in a cover letter to where to stand when performing in an agent’s office—including: 
 
-- Tactics for getting an agent, including preparing for the interview
-- How to research who will be casting what—and whether there is a role for you—well in advance
-- Examples of correspondence to agents and casting directors for both beginning and advanced professionals
-- A detailed analysis of the current trend of paying to meet industry personnel
