Description

Georgie and Pierce examine a practical aspect of acting that very few consider before they start working in the industry, accommodation. This can be an incredibly stressful consideration, especially with the differing requirements of time and location that come with the job, so Georgie and Pierce are here to give you a head start on keeping a roof over your head while you are working. 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Many lower-budget projects may ask you to front the cost of accommodation yourself.  
Think outside the box to keep the cost down. Airbnb, camper vans, caravans and tents are all viable options depending on the project. 
If you’re on a shoot in a house or flat, have a word with the production team to see if you can stay there. 
If you are a theatre actor you can use sites like Theatredigsbooker.com to find accommodation.
Always check with production for info on where to stay.

BEST MOMENTS‘I highly recommend that if you can drive, do it, because as an actor it just opens so many doors.’-Georgie‘You might be able to afford it, but is it worth the value? And then you’ve got to think about food and stuff. They might feed you on set, but that depends on how long you’re shooting for.’-Georgie‘I think one of the most underutilised hacks is just to have a chat with the producers or production team if a scene’s being shot in an apartment to see if you can stay there.’-Pierce‘Get yourself a good suitcase as well. If you do have to travel, whether it be to the far reaches of the country, then just be prepared for that, so try and make your suitcases fit all the dimension restrictions of the travel companies.’-Pierce
