"An instructive, no nonsense, passionate cry to the actor: Bring your intelligence and humanity to the audition not your desperation."
"Audition for Your Career, Not the Job has the power to shift your way of being to one that’s curious, open to love, intuitively confident, and, ultimately, human. Imagine facing your next audition with a ‘Put me in Coach—I’ve got this!’ feeling. That is the gift of this book."
"Tim Phillips’ style of teaching fosters great respect for the work and for each other."
"I’ve come to think of Tim Phillips as ‘The Wizard.’ I’ve worked for several years with Tim as my coach and teacher. His deep instinct to follow clues of language, emotion, and tone invariably leads actors into a place they’re not aware they know about. Yet, by session’s end, they are certain they not only know it, but are at home in this place: the soul of the character. Tim Phillips is a master for anyone working on stage or in television and film."
