For too long the world of corporate role play has felt like a closed shop that only a few privileged actors have had access to. Now, this book provides any actor with what they need to start and build a side-career in corporate role play, utilising all of the skills they already have in their portfolio.

Detailing what corporate role play is, how to do it, how to get the work and how to get re-employed, this book offers up a clear roadmap, enabling actors to deliver top-quality role plays and evidence-based developmental feedback time and time again.

Using the author’s masterclasses as a foundation, the book includes a range of role play briefs an actor may encounter, each accompanied by top tips on how to execute them successfully.

Reviews for An Actor’s Guide to Corporate Role Play: The Best Side-Job for Actors

I have fond memories of working for over 10 years in this sector and reading this book reminded me of all the fun and challenges it contains. Syrus Lowe has years of practical advice for anyone venturing into this acting sector of corporate roleplay and I have to say I agree with all of it. It’s great advice. * Iain Davie, Programme Leader Acting, Edinburgh Napier University, UK *
