Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Henry Hodges has spent the last twelve years either on stage or in front of the camera. From playing Chip in Beauty and the Beast to Jeremy Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Michael Banks in Mary Poppins, Henry literally has lived on Broadway for most of his young life. In How to Act Like a Kid, Henry will use his considerable experience - and wisdom beyond his years - to give young readers advice on how to break into acting. Most of all, he will relate how to live a normal life while devoting your time to performing on stage and screen.
In this book, Henry tells his inspiring story in his own words. Along the way, he gives aspiring kid performers of any age smart, up-to-date, practical advice on every aspect of a young performer's career onstage and in radio, commercials, TV, and movies: finding teachers and coaches; dealing with agents and managers; preparing for auditions, rehearsals, and performances; coping with criticism and competiion; avoiding scam artists who prey on young talent; and succeeding in your schoolwork backstage. Plus, top pros who have helped Henry along his way offer candid advice on everything a young performer needs to know to start a career in show business...(back cover).
