Here is a great opportunity to listen in and avoid the five biggest mistakes people make when they first begin their initial steps into acting. Georgie and Pierce are here to point the way round the pitfalls and make your first brave foray into the working actor world a more steady one. KEY TAKEAWAYS

Do not think that emailing Casting Directors is the only way to network. Emails are outdated and often ignored because so many are sent. You need to use LinkedIn and similar social networks.
Prioritise building a personal brand on social networks. Don’t pretend to be someone else, be comfortable enough to present yourself. 
You do not have to go to drama school to be successful. 
Do not solely rely on an agent for auditions. When starting out the chances of signing with a suitable agent are slim. 
Think of your acting career as a business. The business is just yourself. You need to present and advertise just like any other business and just like any other business asset, you have to look after yourself.

BEST MOMENTS‘There’s a lot of things that you’ve probably heard from the more traditional way of getting into acting and a lot of those came about ten, fifteen, twenty, even twenty five years ago. There are so many new innovative ways to get your foot in the door and get yourself noticed.’ – Pierce‘Actors that tend to get hired again and again, especially in the independent world, have a really good sense of their strengths in the industry and their current and up to date on what they’re doing.’ – Georgie‘The first thing that I thought I needed when I got into the industry was an agent and I couldn’t get how people were landing roles without an agent.’ – Georgie‘When you strip it back, essentially, you are the product. You deliver value, you bring something to the table. People buy you.’ – Pierce VALUABLE RESOURCEShttps://www.actorswarehouse.co.uk/https://Www.instagram.com/Actorswarehouse/https://Twitter.com/Weareacting/ ABOUT THE HOSTSGeorgie King and Pierce Connelly are a couple and business partners with experience in TV, film and theatre.
