#008 The Working Actor Show – 3 Pillars to Landing Roles through Networking  
 
DESCRIPTION
 
Learning how to network can be one of the most important aspects of landing acting roles but it often makes people nervous about how they should go about it. Georgie and Pierce are here to clear up any misconceptions and questions you have, calm your nerves, and introduce to you the three pillars you need to consider in order to achieve your first job. 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Know. It is really important to make yourself known as an actor and a person. Keep your social media up to date and communicate with as many people as possible about what you are doing and who you are.
Like. Be likeable by just being yourself. Make friends. Stand out by taking a genuine interest in others. Try not to be generic with your outreach.
Trust. In order to be hired there has to be a level of trust. The fastest way to build trust is through honesty and through evidence.

BEST MOMENTS
‘The industry is smaller than you think, guys, honestly. It’s tiny really. Especially in the country that you’re in.’ – Georgie
‘It’s not what you know. It’s not who you know. It’s who knows you.’ – Georgie
‘To be fair, this is the biggest mistake we see actors making. Reaching out with “hey I’m an actor, here’s my head shot, here’s my show reel. What do you think?”’ – Pierce
‘You don’t have to reach out to somebody. There are so many people out there that you can add to your network that will deliver value to you in some way in your acting career.’ – Pierce
‘If you cant do something don’t pretend that you can because it will always come back to bite you. But if you can do something, prove it.’ – Pierce
‘There is a lot of dishonesty in this industry and in life in general. There are a lot of people who put on a lot of different faces to get what they want.’ - Georgie
