Description

To gain more consistent acting work there are a number of ways to achieve a more steady stream of offers and Georgie and Pierce are here to explain 5 steps towards this goal. From rethinking any limiting ideas that hold you back to a more open minded approach to self investment, Georgie and Pierce will help you get on the track to selling yourself and your skills effectively. 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you envision yourself when working as a certain sort of person, become that person now before the work starts flowing in.
Unblock any limiting beliefs you have to getting new roles. Rethink any ideas you have about how much you can earn.
You need to be prepared to invest in your career with training, headshots and networking and casting sites.
Stop trying to repeat what used to work and focus on what is going to move you to the next step. 
Do not succumb to panic. No one does their best work when in a state of panic. 
There’s no quicker way to land a role than to surround yourself with people who have already achieved it. 

BEST MOMENTS
‘The sooner you start doing it the sooner you become it. It’s all well and good visualising it and one day hoping that it will happen but you need to take action.’ – Pierce 
‘As creatives we’re very used to seeing idealism in our work. We see these beautiful storylines, these picture perfect characters and its very easy to want to take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to the industry.’ – Georgie
‘We have a lot of actors who do have those limiting beliefs around money. They are either cautious to invest it or don’t see the the value in it or don’t see their worth.’ – Pierce 
‘You can still spend tens of thousands of pounds on drama school and graduate not knowing how to navigate the industry, not knowing how to network, not knowing how to find opportunities when you perhaps don’t have an agent.’ – Pierce 
‘You don’t have to be perfect to start acting. That’s not the point. To be fair, if everyone was perfect it would lead to very, very flat 2D characters who bear no interest to us as viewers on the screen.’ – Georgie
