Description

Here are 3 guaranteed ways to find quality acting work within the industry. Opportunities abound out there right now and Georgie and Pierce are here to share with you how to ‘grab a spoon and dig in’! These are pitfalls and pinnacles of how to land yourself a steady stream of auditions and expand your acting possibilities. 
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Use casting sites. This is the best way you are guaranteed to find quality acting work. Casting sites (other than Spotlight) are being used more and more by bigger studios across a range of output formats. You can start landing roles right now.
You can create your own work. Successful, full time actors create their own projects and you can too. If you know how to crowdsource and network you can collaborate with others to create your ideal acting vehicle.
Network within the industry. Know the industry which you're in and build relationships with those within it so you can hear of opportunities and create the ability to collaborate. Use social media to make this easier. If you are visible on social media, this gives makers another way to market their project. 

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Way back in the day it was kind of like the Wild West, I guess. Anyone could post on there and it was kind of difficult to know if a job was legit or not.’ - Pierce 
‘That is the biggest thing that sets actors apart from those who kind of, do make it and those who don’t. It is just taking action. Just putting the steps into practice and getting going. ‘Start now, get perfect later’ is one of the biggest things we tell our clients.’ – Pierce
‘If you’ve got an idea, write it down. There’s a ton of sites out there that can help you if you're looking to write scripts, Celtx is a great site because it shows you how to lay a script out. So, start writing it!’ - Georgie  
‘TikTok is where it’s at at the moment. If you’re an actor, be on TikTok. And I know it’s so annoying, I feel like a dinosaur there but you actually find that a lot of people who are on there are around a similar age bracket. It's so useful if you have acting skills. Post a self tape on there, start chatting to people about what you’re up to.’ – Georgie
‘Apply to everything. Kind of have that happy go lucky attitude of just, ok, I’m just gonna go for whatever I can. The worst thing that can happen, and stop worrying about being blacklisted in the industry! It doesn’t happen!’ – Georgie
