You Are the CEO of Your Own Career | The Business of Show Business S7 E1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody teaches performers the business side of the industry. You spend years on audition technique, vocal training, dance and craft, then get into the industry and realise no one showed you the other half: how to think of yourself as a business, how to market what you do, and how to make sure the right people know how to find you. In this solo episode kicking off Season 7 of The Business of Show Business, Jamie Body draws on nearly 20 years across theatre, TV, film, arts marketing and industry j
