Book Reviews
This book is a surprisingly short read, however it is astoundingly jammed full of useful, practical information that you can put to work right away. I was a little skeptical when purchasing the book because to me it came across as a book only about “The Biz”.
Fortunately though Matthew Dearing and his team at Dearing Acting Studio are true professionals with extensive knowledge on the industry as well as balancing that with a love for the craft and a healthy approach to it through forming good habits and respecting yourself, your career and your art.
Even if you just buy the book to get the printable PDF files (accountability chart, audition tracker, etc..) it will be well worth it.
BUY THIS BOOK, READ THIS BOOK AND WORK SO HARD THEY CANT IGNORE YOU ❤️🎭
Thanks to everybody at Dearing Acting Studio

Thank you Matt for being there to give me guidance and opening my eyes to how much more I can learn to be a better actress.

Matthew Dearing’s “Acting Is My DAY JOB” is an absolute must for anyone who is pursuing their ambition as an actor/actress. Incredibly impressed by the blunt and direct approach he took. Packed with highly informative, funny, and motivational content throughout entirety of his book.
Matt addresses many issues an actor/actress will face, and provides the recipe to achieving the fame/success/journey you desire.
Grateful for the read, and it will undoubtedly be a playbook to reference at every stage along the way. As Matt strongly highlights, it’s time to “do the work”
