    Land Your First TV Role: The Exact Steps Actors Miss

    Send a text BOOK YOUR NEXT ACTING ROLE ASAP!!! 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.
