“You Must Act! is a very inspirational course. It has helped me in going forward and taking risks in my career.

"My favorite part of the course was the advice to be unique and exactly who you are. I loved reading about the tools of the trade – professional conduct with casting directors, on the set, and in meetings with agents and managers. I feel like the control of my career is finally in my own hands - and that's a very wonderful feeling.

"Learning about money and budgeting, taxes, time management and other business tools actors should be using was great too. Bob, I can't thank you enough for your easy to read and easy to understand courses." 

Claudia L. Brown ~ New York City 

“You Must Act! teaches you to avoid the pitfalls of negative thinking ... it’s a positive and healthy outlook that every actor needs – to survive the business. It shows that success can be achieved if one is willing to accept change and follow certain steps.

"I find I no longer have a sinking feeling about the business.

"Bob opens the door for you – the rest is up to you."  

William Lyons ~ Connecticut

“You Must Act! has touched me so deeply that I just had to write you. You have given me not only the hope that my dreams can be achieved, but you've given me a very easy-to-understand and practical way to go about it.

"When I got my first film job, I kept thinking of what you wrote; 'you're only 5 feet from where you want to be.'

"I wouldn't be doing this, had I not read You Must Act!” 

Deborah Carson ~ San Diego 

“I only received You Must Act! a few weeks ago – but I have been putting together my show-reel with a view to getting an agent in London (I already have one here, in Rome). You Must Act! shaped what I put on the reel – as well as who I send it to.

"Interesting story: I thought I would be out of town for a few weeks and unable to take part in  a play that is opening here next week. My plans changed late in the day ... but I didn't find out until well after casting had finished. Previously, I may have just said ‘c'est la vie, these things happen’ – and forgotten about it. Instead, I decided to call the director (who had liked me at the first read through) and now I have a small role.

"Straightforward answers to existing questions – plus a few things to think about, I had not previously considered. Just wanted to say thanks, I enjoyed the course a lot – and think it's been quite helpful.”  

Matthew T Reynolds ~ Rome 

"I'm new to the business of acting. I started at age 49 (April 2007). While searching the net and seeing many of the "best ways to get started" (some good and a whole lot of hot air just to get your money), I ran across your site. I'll be honest – at first it reminded me of those ‘get rich quick’ sites – because it was a very long read. But I read your site completely. 

"As I kept going back to your pages, the more interested in you and what you had to offer I was. Then I did research on your experience ... I looked at IMDb to see what they showed about you. I talked with people on our trips to Los Angeles (to find) what they had heard about you. After a couple of weeks I felt comfortable enough to order You Must Act! ... and started reading,

"I was learning at a very steady pace. What really surprised me was that you actually answered emails. Well, about a month and a half after I started to read You Must Act! ... I had my first chance to put what I had learned and studied to work. I received a call from a producer who’d gotten my electronic submission and I was asked to come in to audition.

"This was my first audition and I was nervous. They handed me a part of the script to read. After I read, the director said, "Very good." Then, just as I was going out the door, they asked if I was available the first and second week of June. I was told it would be three days minimum and it was a primary role ... AND it paid very well for non-union. Wow!

"I truly credit this first accomplishment to the help of You Must Act!, Headshot Secrets Revealed and Show Biz How-To. As I have continued to work, I have referred other actors that I’ve met on sets to your courses. I know they will be a great help to other actors ... if they are serious about acting. Thanks Bob!” 

Bob Ross ~ Arizona / Los Angeles  

"One of the greatest things I have seen with You Must Act! is that now I know where exactly I am heading ... with passion, professionalism, confidence, persistance, belief, faith and preparation.

"The course is simply amazing and I can't help reading it over and over again. The motivation and reality you bring, keeps me stronger – keeps me moving forward and breaking down barriers – to get to my biggest goal of all goals.

"Doors are now opening up to me – and I am happy there are people like you to show me the direction with my career and expectations. You are the best, Bob. Gracias!" 

Christie Soria ~ New Jersey

“You Must Act! works! I'm happy to say that what I have learned is now working ... and this is a wonderful feeling.

"About three weeks after reading it, I got a great acting job. Did Bob give it to me? No, but he shook me and almost screamed in my ears, ‘Open your eyes ... You are the product. You are the seller. Come on, do your job!’

This is why you should get You Must Act! ... you'll find the answers you're looking for. Guaranteed.”  

Marco Cortesi ~ Rome, Italy

"It's like having a wonderfully positive, upbeat angel on your shoulder all the time – saying, 'go for it! Here are the steps, now go be a STAR!'

"Every actor can benefit from Bob's advice.

"He answers all the questions and all those negative rumors – that we actors hear on a daily basis.

“Before you go back to Kansas, go on another audition, or curse out your agent, get You Must Act!" 

Krista Ryan ~ Los Angeles 

“Bob provides all of the information you need to know – to take your skills to the major markets and succeed.

"He has succinctly and precisely taken his 40 plus years of experience – in every aspect of the entertainment industry – and created a roadmap for success.

"It is now my working actor's manual. I can safely say to all actors – if you read You Must Act! and you don't 'make it' – you only have yourself to blame.”  

Ronald Farnham ~ Florida

“You Must Act! is the most practical and useful manual on show business I have ever read. It goes beyond tips and 'to-dos' and actually starts reshaping the character of the reader – to become the kind of person who will be successful at whatever they undertake.

"Bob’s writing cuts through the foolishness and deals with acting as doing – on and off stage.

"I'm happy to report that I just booked my first Equity contract ... and a nice fat paycheck!”  

Ellen Seltz ~ New York City 

“I recently returned to the ‘business’ – after an absence of 15 years. You Must Act! was one of my first business investments.

"The information you provide is exactly what I needed to refresh my memory about how things work in ‘this town.’ By following your advice on how to deal with agents, casting directors and auditions, I have been able to jump start my re-entry.

"In the last two years I have performed at some of the best theaters in Atlanta and appeared in several commercials, industrials and about 15 Indie films.

"My favorite parts of the course are the mini-bios of actors we all know and love – both past and present – and the casting directors. The bios provided some interesting facts that I didn't know about the stars, but more to the point – they reinforced my sense of the need for persistence in order to succeed in this business. You Must Act! can help anyone – beginner or seasoned pro – with that requirement.

"On another note, when I misplaced my password, you were right there with the info within hours of my request. Talk about customer service! Thanks for supporting the rest of us with this excellent course."  

Tom Thon – Atlanta 

"I purchased You Must Act! approximately nine months ago, when I first moved to London from Australia – to pursue a full-time career in acting. It took me another six months before I actually put it in my computer and started the course. Since then I’ve been plodding away at it and I think it’s brilliant.

"It is taking me quite a while, as I don’t have time to read it every night. But I’m still managing to work through the content at a decent pace and to take it all in, notes and homework included.
 
"I have raved on about You Must Act! (even though I’m only halfway through it) to so many other actors – and told them they must subscribe to your (free newsletter) and to buy this course. So. hopefully, one day a few of them will listen to me.
 
"In the meantime I’m going to keep working through it and relishing the learning process. It’s an absolute pleasure to sit in the comfort of my home at night and learn/study about something I just adore. I actually look forward to reading it for a few hours each night – who’d have thought study could be fun. Thanks again for the effort and commitment that has gone into writing this course."  

Angela Peters ~ London 

"I stumbled across You Must Act! while surfing and decided to purchase it. It looked great and comes with a one year money back guarantee. I'm reading it now – and I know I would NEVER give it back. It's worth a lot more than it costs – and it only costs about the same as a nice dinner for two.

"It's not about the craft of acting.  It's about how to make it in the business!  All the do's and don'ts, how to have the winning attitude for success, how to make money in the biz, how to handle taxes – how to run your acting career like a business instead of a lottery game. I didn’t know that there was so much that I didn’t know!

"This program dispels a lot of the rumors and negative things you hear about being successful – and is full of examples from real life superstars, and copious notes taken by Bob over his own successful 40 year career as an actor, producer, and writer.

"You are advised to read about 30 pages at a sitting and let it soak in. I find that very difficult. It's so easy and enjoyable to read that I just don't want to stop. There is just so much valuable information here – and tons of inspiration ... something we all need on this emotional roller coaster we love, called acting.

"This is the stuff they only rarely touch on in acting classes, yet it’s the bedrock of acting business success. I advise everyone who is serious about acting as a career – to save yourself a lot of time, learning by making mistakes, and get this course.

"BTW, You Must Act! comes on a computer disc and is laid out so that it's very easy to read. I keep it on my desktop – so I can always get right to it." 

Ray Remillard - Florida

"I really appreciate the insight that You Must Act! has given me and now I know the steps I need to follow – in order to be successful.

"I no longer have that mindset I used to have ... believing that I needed the right agent to get me the right audition – so I could get the right part that would ‘shoot me into stardom.’ I truly understand now, that if I'm going to succeed, it's really all up to me. ... that sometimes it may take time, but if I stay persistent, diligent, hone my skills, continue to be nice, and don't give up, eventually the success I am looking for will come.

"Thank you, Bob, for your hard work and sincerity in helping actors become more successful in this industry. I never would have had the courage to start reaching out – until I read You Must Act!"  

Rhonda Hollis ~ Washington D.C  

"I gotta tell ya I felt pretty lost when I moved to LA a few years ago, not knowing what to do and what not to do – so much so that I didn’t do anything. I came across your program You Must Act! and honestly wondered if it was just another scam. But for some reason my gut told me otherwise, so I got it ... and boy did it open up my eyes!

"Since then I’ve met you and attended your seminar and just recently got Nail It! – and love it. Both programs demystify the process and, most importantly, helped me realize that this is a process. In just the past year I got professional headshots, been taking a cold reading class with a highly respected teacher, got my acting website up, worked background on HBO’s Deadwood and just recently worked background and as a stand-in on F/X’s Dirt.

"I mentioned the work on Dirt to a fellow thespian that also moved here to pursue acting – but has opted for the full-time jobby job and keeps 'putting off acting for now.'  He sort of made a negative comment about me doing background, that 'it’s ok to do that once, but it doesn’t lead to anything.'

"This past Monday the 2nd AD came up to me to tell me that the director was going to give me a line. So just like that – I got to say my first line on camera, to Courteney Cox! I got upgraded to a speaking part and got paid $750 for saying one line – not to mention I now have a decent credit on my resume.  I know it’s rare for this to happen – but it did happen, because I was 'present.'

"I honestly believe that because of your help I am finally on-track with my acting career.  Thanks so much for the words of wisdom.  You really do know what you’re talking about. Cheers!" 

Jon W. Lee ~ Los Angeles 

“My wife's career as an actress was in its infancy when we found You Must Act! It was essential in the beginning – and saved us years of trial and error ... especially the error part.

We recently spent some time in Los Angeles and while searching the internet came across Bob's other course, Headshot Secrets Revealed. Since I take all Madison's photos – I needed to understand better what comprises a perfect headshot. It is imperative to your career as an actor that you understand this most important topic ... and Bob is the one to guide you. This led us to finding his Show Biz U.

"I don't want to give anything away – but I will state this: Madison has landed every audition since the seminar, all paid roles, and has just been cast in an action feature film. Thank you Bob, it would have taken us years longer to get where we are now, without you.”  

Grant & Madison Warner ~ Australia

"To preface, Bob, I want to say to you directly: I place you in that same rarefied pantheon of writers and journalists occupied by probably the finest I knew in my many years of journalism, a gentleman named Howard Taylor, who wrote books on usage and served as editor on papers like The Chicago Tribune. He would send notes like yours to me that absolutely sparkled – but were like incisions by a master surgeon who did their job without bloodletting or pain.

"My testimonial:
 
"Bob Fraser is the quintessential teacher, the person we all hope to meet at least once in our lives who will inspire us, encourage us and always be there in our times of need. 

"His You Must Act! is an extension of him, cast in that same mold, a living and lively companion for every actor of any age who needs information that is in-depth, realistic and immediately useful – and at the same time absolutely glowing in its optimism and hope. Of all the acting teachers and ‘gurus’ I've known in my almost 40 years in the business, I place Bob at the very top."
