I received this email because I am registered online with The Casting Collective. Thought some of you may be interested in it.
I'm one of the directors of The Casting Collective. Just a quick note to say if you have a kindle (or other ereader/ipad) you might be interested in the newly revised and updated ebook published by Titan Books - You Can Be A Movie Extra By Rob Martin.
It's available from the kindle store from Amazon.co.uk by clicking on this link:

Amazon ebook Description
Have you ever fancied being in the movies, or on TV? Let’s face it, who hasn’t!
But how do you actually go about becoming an Extra, one of those lucky people who get to mix with the stars, and appear onscreen — whether it be in a battle scene in a blockbuster movie, or walking around Albert Square — and what’s more, get paid for the privilege!
Unbelievably, there has never been a book which tells you exactly how to get work as a Supporting Artiste — until now. You Can Be a Movie Extra is the ultimate insider’s guide (author Rob Martin is a leading casting agent, who’s supplied Extras for films such as Gladiator and Harry Potter).
It tells you everything you need to know, from getting on an agent’s books to what to do on your first day on set, and how to make sure you keep getting regular work, whether it be in films, on TV, or in commercials and music videos! Revised and fully updated to 2011/12.
(The original papoerback also available on Amazon, published in 2002 got some pretty good reviews.)
Happy Christmas!
Rob Martin
