(NOT) A FUN FACT:

ONLY 5% OF ACTORS

are in work at any one time…

…Want to be one of them?

You know the score – you are attending every class, applying for everything going (and sometimes being seen) but you feel like you should have a WAY better hit rate and landing WAY more roles.

IS ANY OF THIS FAMILIAR?

  • You KNOW you are a good actor but just can’t seem to ‘bring it’ on the day
  • The nerves overwhelm you and destroy all the work that you put in ahead of the casting or rehearsal
  • You keep trying but just can’t seem to get into drama school
  • You keep getting exciting opportunities but don’t have a clue how to best prepare and feel like you constantly screw them up
  • You feel like an outright imposter and you’re losing the will to keep going.

These frustrations compound and deeply affect your happiness level, relationships and health.
