“You Must Act! is so honest and clear. Two things that are not always so in this industry.

"I was reminded of why I do this ... because I have to and because I love it.

"You Must Act! has reinterpreted the business of ‘the business.’ I feel like the power is back in my hands. I think it will help all actors – from the novice to the seasoned professional. Bob puts it like it is. No more excuses ... just do it.” 

Susan Stein ~ New York City  

"I'm in the middle of You Must Act! and it has already rejuvenated my actions.

"Everyone starting out needs this information. I don't know how many guys in our age range are following what you are doing – but I know I tell all my peers about you. I've been in SAG for over fifty years, and I’m still not famous – but I'm working on it.

"You are an inspiration – and everything you say is right on. Attitude, hard work and persistence … it's all been said before, but you cover every base in such a clear and inspiring manner that anyone who wants to succeed in show business cannot go wrong following your lead. You have helped me with a kind of focus I have never achieved before. Thank you!"  

Patrick Gorman ~ Los Angeles 

"Thank you so much, Bob - you have a customer for life! 

"I am so glad I purchased You Must Act! I was scared at first, because I thought it was going to be exactly like the other books I’ve already read ... but it's not. It tells you, step-by-step, how to succeed in acting. More importantly, it explains how it is possible to achieve your goals in the entertainment industry. And I must say I have already made a great deal of progress.

"Bob is the greatest motivator. He got me off of my lazy butt and made me realize what I had to do in order to succeed." 

Brittany Compton ~ Texas 

“After struggling for some time, I felt I needed to move to a new level in my acting career.

"That’s when I discovered You Must Act! It is my business manual – my ‘actor’s bible.’ I refer to it almost daily.

"It's full of practical, step by step, how-to instructions on managing my business, Bob’s decades of experience in the business are a valuable and credible resource for my success.” 

Daniel Cox ~ Los Angeles

"I have been a 'working/starving' actor since 1998. I had wanted to take a class for over 5 years, but with each passing year became more intimidated by the amount of time that had passed. I questioned myself – was I any good? Should I let go of childhood passions and ideals?

"Then I received an email from from Bob, about You Must Act! How could a computer-based workshop help me as an actor? But, as I read his inspiring words and comments – I knew it was exactly what I was looking for – and more than that, what I needed.

"Bob has a great deal of warmth, passion, and knowledge that he is able too share over these computer wires – that I have never felt with a personal acting coach.

"He cares for people and knows what he is talking about – and he provides a safe and nurturing environment, where he encourages and challenges you to bring out your personal excellence.

"I have been cast in two feature movies (shooting in 2007) and have had my 3rd call-back for the Fox series Prison Break – by using Bob’s audition techniques as my guide. I re-discovered my love of the craft and that I am more than good – I am at my personal best! Thank you, Bob. I must act!”  

Gene Burns ~ Texas

After You Must Act! major changes in my attitude started taking place. 

"With my first audition – using this new attitude – I was able to just let go of the results of that audition. I didn’t get a callback but I didn’t stress the way I would have before ... and I received a callback at a later date.

"I really want to say is that this ‘new way’ of  thinking has changed my life. Bob’s process can by applied to any profession that you are in – not just in the performing arts. Thank you, Bob”  

Maray Ayres – Los Angeles 

“I read You Must Act! and I loved it. It was so inspirational. I am constantly using it to assure friends (fellow actors) not to give up, or pointing them in the right direction.

"For example, I just had a friend who had been on too many auditions and heard ‘you were great we will call you’ – or worse heard no feedback at all – and then never heard back. She was also felt that she wasn’t where she thought she would be by now, in her career. She was ready to give up and get a 'real job.' I passed on a lot of the wisdom I got from You Must Act! – and put her back on the right track.

"There have been so many other little things that I have read that have made a big difference in the outcome of an audtion, etc. I would (and do) suggest it to all actors. No matter what point you are in your career ... there will be something you will learn from it.” 

Tony Slade ~ Philadelphia  

"I found Bob’s newsletter, Show Biz How-To and started reading it to the kids at bedtime. They ate it up. Now we've gotten You Must Act! and they are both eager to get to bedtime every night – when I read another part of the course. Thanks for keeping us motivated. It's working!

"Evan got a call from the Show Palace Dinner Theater to see if he wanted the role of one of Will Rogers' sons, in Will Rogers Follies. He's blown away, because the theater called him – and he didn't even audition for that show. It was a complete surprise.

"Adison had her first audition for a national commercial yesterday. She's walking on air, about a foot off the ground. And, thanks to Bob, she told us she doesn't care if she doesn't get the job, because she knows that even if she doesn't get this job, it still means she's making progress towards getting one in the future. Pretty cool for a nine year old – if you ask me. I need to say just how valid Bob has become to the kids. He’s a real life experience! He has made a huge difference in our lives.

"Really and sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Bob. Our lives will never be the same – but better – for knowing you. You are the greatest." 

LauraJo Flynn ~ Florida 

“I have read a lot of books about the business and nowhere else have I been able to find such an all inclusive, inspiring, and rewarding source of densely packed information ... you simply cannot skip a page without missing vital information.

"My only regret is that I didn't find it sooner.

"You Must Act! is at the top of a very short list of indispensable resources I keep at my fingertips. Many thanks Bob.”  

Chris Forsyth ~ Los Angeles  

“You Must Act! is Bob Fraser's personal, long letter to actors. After reading Bob's course, I realized I'm doomed to succeed. ... it was balm to my weary soul when I finally got You Must Act!

"Good news: I read in You Must Act! that I am doing what it takes to break in. Better news: Reading about loads of movie stars who regularly got turned down for parts, were endlessly told they weren't star material, and went through (at best) so-so TV shows and movies – for over a decade. Heck, I've got it easy.

"Movie have script doctors – actors have You Must Act!"  

Diane Matson – Seattle  

“Wow!  ... unquestionably the best writing on professional acting I have read yet. Inspiring, informative, encouraging, & useful. I should have read You Must Act! long ago.

"I am truly impressed with the value of the information I have gleaned from this wonderful course.

"I strongly recommend it to other actors and other people in general. I can hardly wait for Show Biz U!”  

Gary Dannebaum ~ New Mexico 

“You Must Act! is resourceful, inspirational and very motivational. 

"Throughout the course, I took many notes, so that each week I can review the information to make sure I retain everything. Everything clicked and it completely made sense ... it not only helped out my acting – but the way I view my success and life.

"You Must Act! contains so much beneficial information that I know it will make a significant difference in my career. I can't thank you enough, Bob”  

Annalisa Kyler ~ Florida 

“Bob, you have been an absolute inspiration to my acting career.

"You Must Act! is #1 in my opinion. It has taught me so much about the business and has opened up many avenues for me. The journey has just begun!

"Like Will Smith said, ‘I absolutely, positively will not quit  until I win!’

"That is my focus and I will prevail! Thank you so much for all your help.”  

Humberto Meza - Los Angeles 

“After I read You Must Act! I felt a renewed energy, inspiration, and new motivation. I changed my look, I got new headshots done, and I revamped my website. I've been getting auditions and callbacks! I know the bookings will follow.

"I feel very happy, and excited – and I am not worried about my looks nor age anymore.

"This is what I wrote on my website about You Must Act! ‘If you have ever felt that your career needed direction ... go see Bob.'”  

Maritza Brikisak ~ Los Angeles

“Before I heard about You Must Act! I felt I had an impossible dream about becoming an actor and doing Hollywood movies.

"I started to apply Bob's principles and ... I am beginning to live that dream.

"I was re-reading a few pages this morning and I am amazed what depth it really has. Actors and aspiring actors might think it is only about how to succeed in acting and get paid work ... but it truly can change peoples' lives on all levels.” 

Stefan Akesson ~ Sweden

“Too often, guides to Hollywood are giving out false treasure maps (while the real treasure is in the opposite direction.) You Must Act! is definitely not one of those.

"You Must Act! has the feel of sitting down with a show biz old hand – who is giving you the straight scoop about it all and passing on the realities of the biz.

It’s very inspiring ... the sort of thing I wish I had had years ago as a young actress. But there were still things in it to inspire me.”  

Pamela Munro ~ Los Angeles

“I bought You Must Act! a year or two ago and realized that it contained some of the best advice I'd come up against in years.

"I've applied some of the lessons, but not all of them. That's not a cop-out, it's a conscious decision ... largely fiscal (although I will admit to a bit of cowardice as well). I've often been paid (and not just the showcase busfare rates) but now, at 58, I need more. It was always a dream – one that I consigned to the realm of fantasy. How to go the next step was a mystery. You Must Act! has shown me what I need to do to get it.

"Now I know what I need to do – thanks to you. I know the steps – I can plan – I'm building up resources and starting to work on contacts (the thing I'm probably weakest at). Following your advice, my goals are getting defined. And that's the key. I now see the route. Some of it I'd rather not do – I have 40 years of legit theatre arrogance to get around – but now I realize that if I'm not prepared to do it – I really will have to give it up ... or settle for being a quite good non-professional actor.

"All this comes down to a big thank you. There is hope. ... after being on your email list for so long – and looking forward to your advice and stories and even the jokes – it was about time I thanked you. So ... thank you!" 

Angus Hepburn – New York City
