Greetings Actors!

I know from experience ( over 200 professional,
important credits and 20 years as a Coach ... see IMDB
and www.davidmacklin.com ) ... that most aspiring and
many working actors waste lot of time, money and
emotional energy in finding the right place to learn
the craft/art and the BUSINESS of acting in Motion
Pictures. Also how to avoid the scams, and come on
sceamers who prey on actors.

It is imperative that one knows the In's and outs of
this fickle and often parasitic venue from an honest
... "someone who has been there" ... source before
committing to any acting courses, agents, personal
managers, producers etc.

Therefore, I submit that you , as so many successful
actors have done, read the book that has taken me over
10 years to compile and that I will never make a dime
on: "ACTING In The Motion Picture BUSINESS.

Satisfaction is guaranteed. If you visit the site you
will know that this is a "labor of love" and a not for
profit endeavor.

Consider these reviews:


"Macklin's book is an informed person's view of
the movie business, offering solid important and
insightful advice on getting in to one area of the
industry. It is anecdote,quote driven, which is not a
bad thing, for it makes the book enjoyable to read.
One of the many strengths of this book, and bear in
mind that this coming from A New Yorker primarily
acquainted the the Theatrical, Commercial and east
coast television industry, is it's palpable west coast
flavor. I truly presents a picture of Hollywood in all
it's fickleness, shortcomings, cliquishness ,
hypocrisy, wonder and allure. It does serve as a guide
as well. The author offers excellent advice. His
writing is engaging, lively and informed. If I were an
actor I would buy this book. All actors, whether
working or not should , and probably will buy this
book. Film schools might consider offering this book
as a textbook for their performance classes. I
recommend buying this book for publication. It offers
fresh insight and concrete advice in a lively,
informative style. This book offers vital and
important information. The quotes and anecdotes
personalize the advice and give it extra punch. I
liked it very much".

"I could not put this book down once I opened it.
David Macklin has the most engaging and personal
writing style that I have seen in years. I laughed out
loud at his descriptions of his own goofs and gaffs.
David has the wonderful attributes of being
impressively informative as well being able to see the
humor in this crazy business. This is THE book for
those who want to learn or simply to enjoy the inside
story of how and why movies are made. It Will save you
a lot of grief and time in your pursuit of a career in
the movie".

From " Western Clippings #54 July/August 2003 "On
The Western Bookshelf"

"ACTING In The Motion Picture BUSINESS by David
Jacklin

("Gunpoint" w/Audie Murphy, "Bonanza", "Virginian
(3) "Gun smoke", "A Man for Hanging" , "Iron Horse",
"Lancer" etc.) is a down to earth book about not only
acting for the camera but how to act in the movie
business. Certainly designed for aspiring actors, it
is nevertheless finding a home as a basic primer for
devotees of the business who simply want to know more
about movies than the names of John Wayne's horses.
Macklin's approach is a candid, realistic problem
solving and fun compilation of ideas, method and
insights garners over 40 plus years as an actor and
over 15 years as a director and coach. Macklin offer a
terminology glossary, tell you specifically where the
work is, explains 'The Method", listening, technique,
character analysis, training, habits of
professionalism, how the camera sees you, various
shots, hitting your marks, memorization, being on
location, working with directors, the production
staff, how to get an agent, and so much more. As Ed
McMahon used to loudly profess with Johnny Carson,
'Everything ...everything you ever want to know about
acting ...and the BUSINESS of acting ... is in this
book".

BOYD MAGERS - Writer/Publisher

"David! I am so impressed by your book. We have been
talking about it and how a book like this is so
needed. It must have taken you years to compile all
this interesting, helpful and entertaining material"

EARL BELLAMY - Director of over 2000 SAG Films and
TV Productions

"David! I all began with you, your book and
classes. The scenes we did led to my role in "The
Young and The Restless. I will always be grateful for
what I learned from you and the fun we had".

LAURA BOGART - Actress
