Description

Spicy episode alert!! This is the episode that tackles what you think will land you more roles versus what will actually land you more roles. It’s time to reveal some unfettered truths that you probably don’t want to hear, but definitely need to hear. Who else but Georgie and Pierce can guide you away from the click-bait acting myths to the reality of what you will be facing as you move forwards in your new career?   
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The ‘she was discovered working in a cake shop’ myth. The right opportunities will not automatically find you. You still have to do the work to get the work. 
The ‘you need an agent to land professional roles’ fable. There may be a time you need an agent but not early on in your career. You need excellent headshots, showreels and paid professional credits to attract a good agent. 
The ‘you have to be formally trained to be taken seriously’ folklore. No. You don’t have to train, you do need to network. 
The ‘I need to wait until the time is right to start’ gumpf. Don’t kid yourself. The time will never be perfect. Take the plunge. 

BEST MOMENTS‘Unfortunately, for the 99.9% of people looking to get into acting, (doing nothing) it will not work.’ – Pierce‘When you’re first starting out you’ve got to remember if you haven’t landed any roles before it’s not unfair for us to assume that an agent will want to see some proof that you’re able to land roles and that you’re skilled in your craft.’ – Georgie ‘You do need some sort of training. You can do courses, masterclasses, workshops, intensives if you feel that you need to. But the reality is if you can act, you can act.’ – Pierce  ‘You’ve got to take action because it's that action that is going to let you see those results.’ – Pierce
