Georgie and Pierce have a lively Instagram account with a buzzing community and these are the questions they get asked most often while discussing acting and its inevitable varying vagaries. From Drama School (or not!) to landing a major role, get all the answers here on The Working Actor Show. 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

‘Do I have to attend Drama School to be a successful actor?’
‘Does my accent prevent me from getting roles?’
‘How did you get an agent?’
‘Do I need a particular look to get into a production?’ 
‘Is my location holding me back?’
‘How do I get cast in a major film or TV series?’

BEST MOMENTS
‘You’re not guaranteed to land an agent at your end of year showcase. There definitely used to be a time when you would have had to have gone to drama school, but it’s just not the case anymore.’ – Pierce  
‘It’s really important to remember that your voice is a unique selling point to you. Even though you might have a similar accent to someone it doesn’t mean your voice isn’t different. It is unique to you.’ – Georgie 
‘The types of agents who are more likely to sign you with no experience are of course the agents who just take on as many people as humanly possible, send them out for absolutely anything and just hope that something sticks.’ – Pierce 
‘This is a really over saturated industry. There are so many people daily who are trying to get into this industry. If anything, not looking like the norm is really useful. When you look like a carbon copy of 25 other people it’s not likely that you’re going to get cast.’ – Georgie 
‘You can get anywhere within the UK within half a days travel easily. You can access opportunities across the country.’ – Pierce 
‘Self represent. Build up those first few paid professional credits. Get your IMDB score looking nice and tasty. Get that network building and go from step to step to step, not necessarily trying to climb the whole staircase at once but going ‘ok, what is the next step in front of me?’’ - Pierce
