With a theater degree in hand, she was determined, she was confident, she was ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she'd imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office , nearly a decade of frustration, struggle, rejection and doubt. If only she'd had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way—an established actor who could educate her about the business, manage her expectations, and reassure her in those moments of despair. Jenna wants to be that person for you. With amusing candor and wit, Fischer spells out the nuts and bolts of getting established in the profession, based on her own memorable and hilarious experiences. She tells you how to get the right headshot, what to look for in representation, and the importance of joining forces with other like-minded artists and creating your own work—invaluable advice personally acquired from her many years of struggle. She provides helpful hints on how to be gutsy and take risks, the tricks to good auditioning and callbacks, and how not to fall for certain scams (auditions in a guy's apartment are probably not legit—or at least not for the kind of part you're looking for!). Her inspiring, helpful guidance feels like a trusted friend who's made the journey, and has now returned to walk beside you, pointing out the pitfalls as you blaze your own path towards the life of a professional actor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #69,003 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Performing Arts Reference #29 in Acting & Auditioning (Books) #54 in Address Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,566 Reviews | ## Images ![The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7125ajPbnPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by O***T on May 18, 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***E on December 27, 2017* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Y on December 23, 2023* ## Frequently Bought Together - The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide - Sanford Meisner on Acting - Audition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/54824582-the-actors-life-a-survival-guide](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/54824582-the-actors-life-a-survival-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
