T: Is for the Thespis Theatre Guide

To navigate into the acting world of New York City you need some powerful tools. Most new actors who come to the city are not prepared for the bombardment of what lies ahead. A new company called Thespis launched the best pocket resource guide I have seen to date at the EIE convention on January 27th. It is called the 2008 Actor's Ultimate Resource Guide for New York City . This guide offers over 60 categories of listings with 100s of resources so you don’t have to do the searching. Under "The Business of Acting" you will find: Accompanists, Accountants, Agents, Business Gifts, Career Coaches, Casting Directors, Costume Rentals, Demo Recordings, Demo Reels, Digital Accompaniment, Industry Websites and that is just up to the I's. This is a complete A-Z index of what you will need. Did you ever think there were so many things to think of? Then there's training. Acting Schools/Studios, Coaches/Classes, Dance Training/Studios, Dialect Coaches, Stage Combat Training, Vocal Coaches, Vocal Teachers and Voice Over Classes.

Wait there's more! Performance Venues, Related Entertainment, Living in New York City and Union Information. Need to get around? Tracking/Contact sheets, City Maps (with addresses), Subway/Bus Maps, LIRR and Metro North.

So you get the audition and you have appointments A 7 Day Planner allows you to keep track and there are discounts that save you a bundle.
