Description

The question that all aspiring actors seem to ask is how to get the elusive audition if you do not have an agent to do all the work for you. At the beginning of your career you will discover very little information on finding and securing opportunities for yourself, so Georgie and Pierce are here to give you the metaphorical ‘leg up’ and get you a cheeky advantage. KEY TAKEAWAYS

You could have all the acting training in the world, unless you learn to find opportunities and network then it really is all for nothing. 
Personal branding and conducting yourself in an appropriate manner is essential to attract potential employers. 
Actually put yourself out there and apply for a good range of jobs using every avenue you can, including casting sites. Aim for five a day! Be consistent and apply for work even if you have found work already. 
Work on your network. Get to know the people in the business, chat to those in the know and allow them to know you. See it as making new friends with plenty in common and making genuine connections. 
Keep active on social media to increase your reach into the community and showcase your personality and talent.

BEST MOMENTS‘Let's be fair, there isn’t a lot of talk about being a self-representing actor.’ – Georgie‘What we’re saying is that if you’re listening to this and you haven’t been to drama school that’s completely fine, this is tailored to you. If you’re listening to this and you have been to drama school, that’s completely fine, this is tailored to you too.’ – Georgie ‘There is more being produced than ever before. The sorts of roles that you’ll find on casting sites are going to be independent feature films, shorts, the stuff that goes out to festivals. So they’re not going to be necessarily, hundreds of thousands of pounds per job.’ – Pierce ‘You do get to choose what you’re posting and my honest advice would be, when you’re at this level, post things that are going to help display you as the actor you want to be.’ – 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.
