Description
Are you wondering, perhaps with trepidation, about the mysterious and enigmatic caprices of the acting world? Perhaps there are things that people ‘forgot’ to mention to you, dramatic reveals that will put you off your step and interrupt you while you continue your mission to carve your place in your chosen career? Georgie and Pierce are here with 5 reveals that you may have missed before now.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
This career is not anywhere near as inaccessible as it is made out to be. It is often sold as an awkward, difficult career filled with awkward, difficult people. This is not true.
The acting career is achieved by taking many steps. The idea of instant success is reserved for the dramas themselves. You will have to progress by building up a good portfolio of work via indie films and projects and much smaller roles.
Accept that you will have to invest in your career. Showreels, headshots, coaching or even producing your own work are necessary to be successful.
Collaboration beats competition. Find projects that you can join and add to or create your own and invite others.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you know where to look, if you follow the right path you can start landing roles in Indie films within a matter of weeks or months.’ – Pierce
‘I know we have this preconception that independent films are all going to be rubbish, they’re going to be bad quality. They’re really not! Indie films blow up all the time.’ – Georgie
‘Making sure you have a good representation of your acting in a video is really important. Making sure the first that a casting director sees is good in your headshot.’ – Georgie
