Sarah Valentine's book is an absolute gem, brimming with love and dedication.

Knowing Sarah personally, I had high expectations, and she exceeded every one of them! Although I'm not deeply rooted in the theater world, I was captivated by the innovative use of QR codes, practical assistance, and her heartfelt explanations. Her genuine passion to teach, support, and nurture anyone drawn to the stage or screen shines through on every page.

This book isn't just a guide for aspiring actors—it's a deeply informative window into the trials, challenges, and triumphs of the profession. Sarah's writing is kind, honest, and refreshingly raw, offering invaluable guidance, tips, and tools of the trade. It combines the wisdom of a seasoned professional with the nurturing care of a mother.

A truly exceptional read—5 stars!
