This one wasn't written nearly as much in second-person, but about half was. It was probably supposed to impart a sense of warmth and "I've been there," but it did not.

There were mentions of animal cruelty that didn't need to be in there and just--I set the book down feeling self-righteous about staying in Seattle. Above all, this book stressed the utter and complete and forever desperate need for an agent and looked down on live theater, and tried to push readers to go out for movies and TV. Guess who does live theater and some student films. And seriously, all an agent does is get you auditions? Dude, I do that -myself- because a kind former actor alerted me to a bustling, great website. I thought an agent was--I think I imagined a talent manager, more closely. This book was -not- what I was looking for, but it helped me be firm all over again about staying in my relatively tiny city with a wonderful website for live theater actors.
The singing guides I got were waaaay above my pay grade. I think I would do best having my range checked and then singing in a college choir if I can get in, 101-type thing. Someday I'll learn to read music, but that's a ways away.
