Virdition: The Secret to Fast Tracking YOUR Path to Stardom Kindle Edition

by Forbes Riley (Author), Will Quinones (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 34 ratings
In this digital age, it is more exciting than ever to seek a career in the entertainment industry—from stuntmen and musicians to actresses, dancers, and even make-up artists. With the advent of social media, YouTube, Facebook, and more, someone with talent in any medium can (and needs to) create their own brand, steer their career, and master the art of "virtually auditioning" at all times with every post. This is a far cry from the "old days" of paper headshot and cattle calls. Forbes Riley, an overnight success 20+ years in the making, shares her insights, obstacles, and successes as she pursued her career as an actress, dancer, and TV host. For her, meeting Will Quinones and hearing his dream of building his audition platform, Virdition, to help struggling artists of all levels was a dream come true. Virdition takes auditioning to a whole new level and helps aspiring entertainers truly understand the possibilities from contest shows like The Voice and American Idol to feature film casting.

    This book is AMAZING!! Not only is it a must have for anyone in the talent industry but applicable for anyone who wants to show up and make big waves of success in life! Forbes is just as entertaining in her writing as she is in person. Her energy and passion reaches through the pages to share all of the unbelievable but true stories of her life. She uses each one to show how she has grown from her adversities and made life happen FOR her rather than be a victim to it happening TO her. If you want to find out who you are and make the most of the abilities you have to offer get this book. You’ll be entertained and enthralled in every page and find new life inspirations on every chapter.

Forbes Riley presents her inspirational story of forming her own unique path, fraught with ups and downs, to achieve success as an entertainer, entrepreneur and motivational speaker. Her story makes it clear that with persistence and the willingness to adapt, you can reach your goals, even though they may look a little bit different than you originally imagined them. Her positive message and uplifting tone really make you feel that you can achieve anything you want in life and business if you are brave enough to fight for them. The book also discusses the importance of branding and social media, and how they can be leveraged to create opportunities, and how a new virtual audition platform, Virdition, is making it easier for those in the entertainment industry to connect with agents/casting directors.

    I thought that this book was really inspiring and interesting. This book really puts a different spin on the the old way of auditioning and meeting producers, and makes it a lot more accessible for producers to find new talent while keeping it simple for talented individuals to get their name out. Definitely would recommend for everyone looking to get into the entertainment industry!

    Forbes Riley -- her story of the pursuit of her dreams and the twists and turns her career has taken over the years -- is such a testimony to the powers of perseverence and agility on life's journey.

    The process of getting the right exposure to the right people at the opportune place and time has evolved so dramatically in recent years. With the technological advances in video and social media, it is now possible for anyone seeking stardom or an online following to achieve it, using the principles in Virdition (which means virtual audition).

    An absolute MUST READ to propel your name and brand to new heights!!
