Bella,
Your book certainly has helped me. It's the best how-to book I've read in a long time.

the woman who made me up for the photos and shot me told me that people comment on her son's Johnny Depp looks all the time. I showed her your book. She wanted to borrow it. I told her I still needed it and she would have to get her own copy. It's all good, eh? There's something else about your book. Your decency, your sense of honor, and your kindness all shone through.

As one who writes, I found that inspiring. I'm really glad I came across your book. I hope you've been having a lovely holiday season.

-Writer, Actor Danny Murphy

 



 

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.

 



 

Dear Denise Bella Vlasis, July 2009
I'm sure you get a lot of letters like this, but I just had to write you one myself. A few months ago I got a job working at a theme park as a Brendan Fraser look-a-like promoting a "Journey to the Center of the Earth" 4-D ride based on the movie that came out last year. Anyways, this was my first job as a look-a-like and I was so nervous. I was so afraid that my first day on the job would be my last if I bombed. So, I started researching on the net trying to figure out how I was going to pull it off. That's when I discovered your book on Amazon. Wow, among all of your other talents, you are a terrific author! Reading about your experiences and those of others made me feel so much more comfortable! If I had any idea that someone could actually make a living at this I might have tried it years ago!

I've really tried hard to follow your advice and honestly it has payed off. I got such a wonderful reception on this first job that I've decided to see how much further I can go with this business. I've really got the bug for it now and can't wait for another chance to work. I recently got an offer to work as a photo double on a new movie Mr. Fraser is making in Boston, but sadly I had to pass it up. Still, I was thrilled to even get the call! I'm trying to push forward and as of now I am working on a new costume, a press kit, and all of the stuff that you recommend in your book. When I get it all together I will send some more photos your way. In the meantime, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your insight. You seem like a wonderful person and I wish you continued success in all that you may pursue!
Best Regards,
Chad Smith

A totally fun read! Great gift idea!

 



 

A must for event producers, July 7, 2003 Reviewer: Event Planner-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!

 



 

Excellent text book, July 7, 2003 Reviewer: AgentAl 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: Madonna Lookalike 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!!!!!

 



 

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:choreographer 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!

 



 

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

 



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?

 



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.

 



 

"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!

 



 

THE BEST (LOOKALIKE) HOW TO BOOK ON THE MARKET, July 5, 2003
Reviewer: Event Planner Mike Irwindale 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 and 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 booked many of your lookalikes listed in the book. Every event planner or party planner should buy this book & have it on file. It is A MUST HAVE for anyone who wants to know the TRUTH about the industry and I suggest to the talents I book to pick up a copy.

 



 

Wanna know how to be a look-a-like? Read the book!, July 10, 2003 Reviewer:dancer 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!

"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",

 



 

"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

 



 

" I am sending my promo to all those agents in your book-WOW what a blessed resource! You are wonderful! Thanks"!

 Devra Gregory- Michael Jackson Impersonator

 



 

Also Mike received your book last week and he hasn't been the same since. YOUR BOOK IS E X C E L L E N T !! It's a wonder it hasn't made the "best selling list" and I can see that the ratings are very high on it. Mike just can't put it down. Has everything you need (and then some) to get started in the business. The tips about how to perfect the voice are ingenious. Who would have thought??? But having been in the business for as long as you have, you would know. Thanks for all the invaluable tips. Mike has to get it autographed next time we see each other. He carries it EVERYWHERE, it's his 2nd Bible...
