"Bella,
Want to compliment you on the new Book!!!! It is great!!!!! I got
mine last week and think it is an awesome guide for folks in the
industry.......totally love it and am soooooo surprised that I was
listed in the beginning stuff. Thanks so much for the nice words!
You are truly special, my gal.
I think you should rent a booth at the conventions and sell them to
everyone there!!!! Would be totally helpful to them and to us
agents as it is a standard for the industry.
You can use this letter to let people know that, I, for one, endorse
it without reservation. Great job"!!!! Linda Collins- Look-alike
Agent
"I just got your book today & wanted to
tell you how truly amazing it is I find it so inspiring; your
generosity and knowledge, your opened to help others BRAVO GIRL"!
Brooke Wilkes-singer

"I am ordering your book now and know,
since I have your other book "Made You Look" in my library
(and love it), the new book will be even better in that it will have
step by step methods to create better impersonators as well as give
advice as how to get work that pays. Having over 100 agents with
their contact information who work with look-alikes and
impersonators is a real plus. Everyone in the industry should have
this book....and I am going to promote it every chance I get.
In the Network I see some of the worse (as well as the best) in the
industry and I am convinced that Bella's new book will change that
all around."
Bea Fogleman –The Look-alike Network & Author

"Okay, I'm a little
slow on the uptake, but your books ROCK!
I am in awe of them!
You did a great job, however did you
find the time to write such a comprehensive book - TWICE !?!??! Tom
Budas has been talking about "the
book" for a while and finally I now see what the buzz is all about.
It was an interesting read for me
(not even being a look alike) and all of the
quotes from professionals were really
informative to the new-comers in this
field, I hope everyone takes your sage
advice. I honestly feel that every
professional in the entertainment
industry should read the book - your
advice, and how to conduct yourself on
site rolls over to all avenues of
entertainers. It's so true, we at
Pacific Entertainment take all things into consideration- not only
talent, but also professionalism, conduct on site to us, the
client and hotel staff, timeliness,
demeanor, dress, attitude, etc - it all
has to work for us to continue to book
artists on a regular basis. I've
always enjoyed booking you as Madonna and all of the other
characters you can portray so
terrifically - now you have catapulted yourself up about 100
levels in "my book"! You have done a
fantastic thing for many people -congratulations to you!
Cheers",
Joanne Mera-President-Pacific

"Yes, I did get
your book; and I was really impressed. 'Have not read every
bit of it yet, but was thrilled with
every word that I have read so far!!! It is very nice of you to
offer so much. And, I can't tell you how much joy
it gave me to think about getting into a
world, that 15 years ago, I knew
existed , but, didn't have a computer-I have always thought about it
though; and with your great book, I hope to
learn the ropes. I hope to stay in
touch, and look forward to reading the book
entirely.....again, it is very nice, and
helpful. I hope to travel soon,
to see about some opportunities, and would love to
see your act,.....or to at least, see
some folks like you and some of the
others that you hi-lighted in your book.
Thanks again Denise,"- James Morgan- Frank Sinatra, Jim Carrey &

Wanna
know how to be a look-a-like? Read the book!, July 10, 2003
Reviewer: Frankie from Sherman Oaks, CA
This
book covers it all! Not only is it a step by step guide, but
Denise provides names, phone numbers, addresses and email
addresses for all the services one would need to pursue a look a
like career. Everything from photographers to agents. It's easy to
read, and the fact that she let professionals write in their own
words shows that Denise does not have an ego and you know what
you're reading is fact, not an opinion. This is great "how to"
book for anybody to read and follow!

THE
BEST (LOOKALIKE)HOW TO BOOK ON THE MARKET, July 5, 2003
Reviewer: Irby Gascon from Los Angeles, CA
This second
book by Bella is THE BEST entertainment book on this subject yet- It
is filled with so much valuable information on how to break into the
entertainment industry utilizing your looks- but it goes far beyond
just "look-alike advice"- Bella really explains so many important
details about fame, personal values, and solid advice that people
seeking work in entertainment REALLY NEED TO HEAR/LEARN. I loved the
advice from other experts as well and JUST the information alone (of
all the agents & contact) is WELL worth the cost of the book. I have
made my money back 100 x's over- I have sent my photos to the agents
in this book & have already been booked as Elvis many times- Every
person should buy this book & have it on file- It is A MUST HAVE for
anyone who wants to know the TRUTH about the industry |

"You've Got The Look"
Has The Look!", July 6, 2003
Reviewer: Richard Halpern, The FAKE
Austin Powers from Studio
City, California, USA
Being an
working celebrity impersonator (as Austin Powers), I found "You've
Got The Look" to be an essential guide for those of us in this
business. It is also very entertaining to the non-professional, in
that it showcases the inner workings of a world of entertainment few
in the mainstream get to see. I highly recommend this book whether
you are a celeb impersonator, or would like to be one, or would just
like to read about what it's like. First-rate from cover to cover,
baby, yeah! |
Love
the Book, July 6, 2003 Reviewer: Linda Collins from Las
Vegas, NV
I ordered
and read the book as a professional agent in the look alike business
and will say that if all the lookalikes and impersonators in the
industry would read and apply the principals in this guide, it would
make our job much easier and add a huge amount of professionalism to
the industry. I feel every look alike in the industry or the "wantabes"
should study and apply what they learn.
This book is much needed and will make a major difference in the
professionalism of a rapidly growing industry. Cheers to the author.

You've
Got The Look is a Fantastic Resource!, July 5, 2003 Reviewer:
A reader from Orlando, FL USA
As a
professional in the entertainment industry, I wish this book had
been around when I was getting started. It would have saved me a lot
of time learning the basics and making valuable contacts.
This book is a must for anyone seriously considering the Celebrity
Look Alike business. A great value.

If
you've got the look..., July 5, 2003 Reviewer: Dave from
Atlanta GA USA
This is the
book! Anyone who has ever heard the questions, "aren't you so and
so?" or "do you know who you remind me of?" should get this easy to
read and insightful guide and see if they have that little something
to maximum their potential. Ms. Vlasis's years of experience and
"know how" make it so easy for anyone who has ever thought of a
career in this vastly growing side of the entertainment industry.
What do you have to lose? Remember, you've already got the
look...why be without the book?

Thanks to you and this
book, July 5, 2003
Reviewer: Nora
from USA
Hi-
I am just starting out as a celebrity lookalike and this book really
helped me begin- I had so many questions about how to get started
and had no clue where to begin and then someone told me about this
book. I am not one of the best Britney Spears lookalikes out in LA
and I am so grateful I had this book

A
Hollywood MUST have, July 5, 2003 Reviewer: Austen from
South Beach, Florida
This is
now my look alike bible...the guide of guides for anyone like me
that has been entertaining the thought of turning a hollywood dream
into reality.
The author has successfully reached for the stars and is now giving
back to help the rest of us grab a few of them for ourselves!!!
A totally fun read! Great gift idea!

A
Great Resource!, July 5, 2003 Reviewer: A reader from
Valley Glen, CA United States
This book
is a must have for anyone wanting to get or already in the
entertainment industy. I haven't found any other book out there of
its kind. It gives step by step information on how to get into the
look-alike world and is an excellent resource for phtographers and
agencies who specialize in this area. I was able to get my
pictures taken and used the list of agencies to mail out the
pictures and have gotten a great response. It's fun and inspiring
and an easy and very informative read. I highly recommend it!

A
Must Have in the Industry, July 5, 2003 Reviewer: Heidi
Jarrett
This
book truly is a must have for anyone who is thinking of starting a
career in celebrity impersonation. In fact, I recommend this book to
anyone thinking of starting a career in the entertainment industry,
period! The author's tips about how to get started in this field
cross over into most fields of the entertainment business. I work as
a choreographer for many acts & recording artists & I always suggest
a copy of this book before we get started! It's broken down in fun &
easy to read sections & will truly help you get moving in the right
direction! The author also provides an invaluable reference section
with agent & other information to help you get your foot in the
door! Again, I can't sing enough praises for this amazing resource
guide! Don't miss it!

A must for event
producers, July 7, 2003 Reviewer: tom budas
from Newport Beach, California
Just a quick note to say how pleased I am with Denise Bella Vlasis'
latest book. If you produce corporate events, private events or
anywhere that you use unique entertainment this is truly a wealth of
information. if you think you've got the "look", then this
definately is the best road map to success you can find to become a
look-a-like and professional entertainer. Thank you Denise for a job
well done! |
cool
book, July 6, 2003

has really helped me as a look-like-and modeling and acting- I was a
student looking for a part-time job and then discovered this book-
thank you!

Excellent text book,
July 7, 2003
Reviewer: Al Lampkin
from Burbank, CA
As an agent booking lookalikes, I frequently get calls from
people who want to get into the business. I refer them to this book.
It will answer all their questions and get them started. There's
also lots of excellent resource material for the seasoned performer
including a list of agents who book lookalikes. A wealth of good
solid information. I highly recommend this book. |
A great resource and
entertainment., July 6, 2003 Reviewer: A reader
from Los Angeles, CA United States
In
this book one is taken aback by the quality of the look a likes that
the author uses, then the amazing generosity of information for the
aspiring performer to get into this surreal business. It is both
entertaining & educational, how often do you get that? |
TIME IS MONEY AND THIS BOOK WILL SAVE YOU BOTH!!!!, July 5,
2003
Reviewer: CHRIS AMERICA from WASHINGTON, DC -BUY
THIS BOOK! I HAVE BEEN IN THE LOOK-ALIKE INDUSTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN LEARNING FIRST-HAND ABOUT THE LOOK-ALIKE
BUSINESS YOU WILL FIND EVERYTHING ESSENTIAL THAT YOU WILL NEED TO
KNOW IN "YOU'VE GOT THE LOOK". IT IS EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN, CONCISE
AND LEAVES OUT NOTHING. WHAT IMPRESSES ME MOST ABOUT ITS CONTENTS IS
HOW THOROUGH AND ACCURATE THE INFORMATION IS.
IF YOU ARE NEW
TALENT - BEWARE!!! IT IS EASY FOR YOU TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF -
ESPECIALLY FINANCIALLY - IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE ROPES OF
THE IMPERSONATION INDUSTRY. THIS
USER-FRIENDLY BOOK WILL EDUCATE AND PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING THE
COMMON COSTLY MISTAKES TYPICALLY MADE BY THOSE WHO ARE FIRST
STARTING OUT.
"YOU'VE GOT
THE LOOK" SINCERELY RESPECTS YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL NO MATTER WHAT
STAGE YOU ARE AT IN YOUR CAREER.
DENISE HAS
PACKED SEVERAL YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE INTO ONE VOLUME OF
TERRIFIC DEFINITION AND ADVICE FOR TALENT. SHE HAS GENEROUSLY
COVERED MUCH MORE THAN THE BASICS FOR BEGINNERS - EVEN TOUCHING ON
RARE AND VALUABLE INFORMATION THAT EVEN OUR "SEASONED" TALENTS WILL
BENEFIT IN KNOWING. THE BOOK IS EVEYTHING YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW ALL
ROLLED INTO ONE - IT IS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE.
THE LOOK-ALIKE
INDUSTRY IS BOOMING AND THE INVESTMENT FOR THIS BOOK IS NOMINAL WHEN
COMPARED TO THE YEARS IT WOULD TAKE FOR YOU TO AQUIRE ACCURATE
INFORMATION SUCH AS THE KIND FOUND WITHIN THESE PAGES. I ONLY WISH I
HAD THAT KIND OF RESOURCE AVAILABLE TO ME WHEN I FIRST STARTED OUT
AS IT WOULD HAVE SAVED ME TIME, MONEY, MORE MONEY AND ALOT OF
FRUSTRATION!!!
IMPERSONATION
WORK IS A SPECIALTY - MUCH DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER TYPE OF
ENTERTAINMENT PROFESSION. THE GAME AND RULES TO THE IMPERSONATION
PROFESSION ARE UNIQUE WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER TYPES OF TRADITIONAL
ENTERTAINMENT. EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW -YOU DONT!!!!
LEARNING OUR
INDUSTRY IS NOT EASY - HOWEVER WITH RELIABLE KNOWLEDGE, RESOURCES
AND ADVICE FROM PROFESSIONALS FEATURED IN THE BOOK YOU WILL LEARN TO
NAVIGATE YOUR CAREER QUICKLY UPWARD.
AS A VETERAN IN
THE LOOK ALIKE INDUSTRY - I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE INFORMATION
DENISE HAS COLLECTED AND SHARED QUITE OPENLY WITH OTHERS. MANY
TALENTS KEEP THEIR EXPERIENCES "CLOSE TO THE VEST" YET SHE WROTE HER
BOOK FROM THE HEART IN THE HOPES THAT IT WILL ENHANCE AND BENEFIT
ANY PERFORMER'S SINCERE DESIRE TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE IN
OUR VERY COMPETITIVE MARKET.
I'VE PURCHASED
A COPY FOR MYSELF AND ANOTHER FOR A FRIEND OF MINE. THIS BOOK IS THE
LOOK-ALIKE BIBLE FROM A-Z AND HAS EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW
TO BE SUCCESSFUL! YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY OTHER BOOK MORE COMPLETE AND
WILL FIND THE GUIDE TO BE A VALUABLE RESOURCE WHETHER YOU ARE JUST
STARTING OUT OR ARE ALREADY A VETERAN! IT IS EXCELLENT! GREAT WORK
DENISE - THANK YOU FOR SHARING WHAT WE ALL NEED TO KNOW!!!!! |
