Mulcahy draws from interviews with about 50 actors to guide readers on how to use their acting skills in different careers, such as communication consulting, teaching, voice-over work,
spokesmodel work, product demonstration, dialogue coaching, publicity, deejaying, casting, nursing, and related performance fields. She connects particular skills--like drawing from history,
physicality, helping others, communication and presentation, and selling oneself--with each chapter and the experiences of these actors, who have experience working in alternative fields.
