    Land Your First TV Role: The Exact Steps Actors Miss

Secure a FREE place at The Business of Acting Workshop on Sunday 22nd Feb HERE  🎙️ Land Your First TV Role: The Steps Most Actors Miss If you’re an early-career actor doing all the right things: training, applying, staying motivated... but your career has stalled, this episode is for you. In this episode of Unstoppable Actors, I break down what actually gets actors cast in their first TV role, and why talent alone isn’t enough. Most actors are taught how to act. Very few are taught how the industry decides who gets seen, called in and cast. Inside this episode, we explore: Why guessing your casting type keeps you invisible — and how to recognise the patterns already shaping your careerThe difference between “working hard” and being placeable in the eyes of casting directorsWhy most actors struggle to articulate what makes them distinctive — even when they’re genuinely compellingHow headshots, credits, and choices quietly tell the industry who you are (whether you realise it or not)The strategic steps that lead from student films → indie work → walk-on TV roles (without throwing spaghetti at the wall)This isn’t about shortcuts or hype. It’s about clarity, positioning, and understanding how casting actually works — especially in the UK industry. If you’ve ever wondered: Why am I not getting called in?Why do others book roles faster than me?What am I missing that no one explains? This episode will help you see your career (and yourself as an actor) differently. 🎭 Perfect for: New and early-career actorsActors looking to book their first TV creditActors stuck despite strong training and motivationAnyone searching for an honest, practical acting career podcast  Listen now!!!  And if you want to go deeper, join me live for the free Business of Acting workshop linked above.

    The 3 Secrets Early Career Actors Miss That Are Keeping Them Out of Casting Rooms

    Send us a text 🎧 Acting Podcast for Actors Who Want to Book More Work  Before you press play: If nerves, self-doubt or overthinking keep sabotaging your auditions, start with the Magnetic Actor Activation -  a 15-minute audio designed to calm your nervous system, reconnect you to your character, and stop the spiral fast. And if you’re ready to commit to real, measurable growth, applications are now open for the 10-Week Method Acting Programme, starting 28th January.    🎭 The 3 Secrets Early-Career Actors Miss That Keep Them Out of Casting Rooms A practical acting podcast episode for actors in the UK, US, Europe and beyond.  If you’re an actor who’s training, auditioning, and doing “all the right things”, but still not getting called in, this episode of The Unstoppable Actor’s Podcast is for you. This is a no-fluff acting podcast for early-career and emerging actors who want to understand what actually separates actors who get seen from those who stay stuck. In this episode, Method Acting coach Louise breaks down three critical mistakes she sees actors make mistakes that quietly block casting opportunities in film, TV, theatre, and self-tape auditions. 🗝️ What you’ll learn in this acting podcast episode: 1️⃣ Why most actors only scratch the surface of the character Great acting isn’t about playing emotions,  it’s about questioning behaviour, language, subtext, and relationships. You’ll learn why curiosity creates connection, and how judgement disconnects you from truthful, compelling performances casting directors respond to. 2️⃣ How the industry really sees you (and why your casting type matters) If you keep auditioning for the same roles and hitting brick walls, this is a clue — not a failure. We explore how casting type shows up in your headshots, CV, showreel, credits, and even your social media, and how casting directors subconsciously read this information. 3️⃣The daily craft habit working actors never skip Consistency beats talent. You’ll hear why relaxation work is the foundation of Method Acting — and why students on the 10-Week Method Acting Programme practise it daily, even when no one is watching. 🌟 Bonus: Why self-trust is the real career accelerator You can train, network, and audition, but without self-trust, self-doubt will always take over. Louise explains what self-trust actually is, how it’s built, and how it transformed one of her students, Ben, whose journey took him from UK television to being cast in a Hollywood film directed by Justin Lin (Fast & Furious).  🎧 This acting podcast is for you if you: Are an early-career or emerging actor in the UK, US, Europe and beyondStruggle with nerves, confidence, or overthinkingWant casting directors to believe in youAre serious about developing your craft and careerPress play and sta Support the show INSTA: @standbymethodactingstudio WEB: standbymethod.com FREE THE ESSENTIAL METHOD ACTING HANDBOOK: http://pages.standbymethod.com/freeactingbook

    Stop Playing 'You'. Unlock The Character's Choice Instead

    Send us a text 🎭 Ready to stop defaulting to “you” and start becoming the character? The Step Into Character Challenge helps you do exactly that... 4 weekly challenges, done in your own time, with my feedback throughout. ACCESS THEM HERE One of the biggest reasons actors don’t book isn’t lack of talent, it’s that they’re unknowingly playing themselves. The voice stays the same. The energy stays the same. The choices feel familiar… and casting directors feel it immediately. In this episode, we dive into the invisible habits that keep actors stuck on the surface of a role - overthinking, self-monitoring, and playing what feels “safe.” I’ll show you how to unlock the character’s choices instead, so your performances feel specific, alive, and rooted in something deeper than your own instincts. If you’ve ever walked out of an audition thinking “I didn’t quite disappear into that”, this episode will hit home. This is about moving out of your head, into your body, and into the character; without forcing it or performing at the idea of acting. This episode is a must-listen for actors who want to stop blending in and start becoming unrecognisable on screen and stage.
