In The Room with Adele James

From gracing the screens of 3-million UK households a week in her biggest acting role to date, to “not having a bloody clue what’s coming next!” Actress, Screenwriter, and Actor's Coach, Adele James, shares an honest and unscripted, journal-like record of her journey toward becoming - and remaining - a “working” Actor. Speaking from a level of success that would be best described as “aspirational, but very much attainable”, adventure with Adele and her journal as she continues to pave her way - letting you in on all the thoughts, fears, plot twists and lessons that you won’t get (nor might you ever suspect...) looking at most people’s social media feeds. In The Room with Adele James (formerly Making My Way), is an in-real-time memoir of surviving and succeeding as an actor day-to-day in the ever-increasingly competitive (especially for a brown woman), entertainment industry. In equal parts an entertaining and inspiring listen for the actor and non-actor, alike. In The Room with Adele James is proudly sponsored by London Nootropics.

    33: 29 Things I've Learned As An Actor

    It’s the first day of Spring y’all & it’s also 🎉MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉 To honour *finally* entering the last year of my 20s, I wanted to share 29 things I have learned as an actor so far:  1. Everything passes 2. If you ever need the toilet on set ask to go for a “10-1” (ten, one) 3. You can feel so alone sometimes, but all actors want to be seen. None of us is alone in that 4. The nerves never go away 5. Things happen in the time they are supposed to 6. Collaboration is the true gift of this industry 7. There is no such thing as a bad offer in a rehearsal space 8. No one will give a sh*t about that hair that’s out of place in your headshot 9. Nothing is ever as it seems, be open to everything 10. An agent should feel like a teammate 11. Being an actor is the best job in the world, but it’s not the most interesting thing about you 12. Downstage means the front of the stage. Upstage means the back of the stage 13. Being number 1 on the call sheet is a huge honour but an immense responsibility 14. Be kind to everyone. Not because you don’t know where they’ll end up, but because you don’t want to be an a$$hole 15. That thing you’re struggling with now will seem so easy one day soon comparatively 16. Direction is not a personal attack, take it 17. Fretting about an audition won’t change the outcome 18. There are worse things than being ‘out of work’ 19. This is a people business and some of the most amazing people are in this business 20. Touring is gruelling, pack a solid survival kit of home comforts 21. No one ever misses a job because they took a holiday 22. You might have to miss a holiday to take a job though 23. You always have more to learn about the craft of acting 24. The work you make with friends is the best kind 25. There is no shame in working a muggle job 26. Every life experience you have is preparing you for some role, someday 27. A great teacher/mentor is invaluable 28. You deserve to be in every audition you’re called in for 29. Life is short, don’t neglect the other parts Have a beautiful week! And some cake - we celebratin' x

    28: Kyla Frye - Being a Mummy, a Filmmaker & The Change We Want To See

    This week I am throwing it back to a conversation I had with the delightful Kyla Frye just before Christmas in 2022, all about her life as a mummy, actor, writer, director, producer and all-round inspiring human being. Kyla Frye is an award-winning actress and filmmaker, whose intent on shaping the future of TV and film began with the launch of her production company, Fryeday Entertainment, in 2012. With a passion for bringing diverse and marginalised stories to the mainstream, Kyla believes that every voice deserves to be heard and every person, deserves to be seen. From writing, to directing, to starring and producing, Kyla’s ability to be both versatile and innovative, has allowed her to bring about three short films that have received wide critical acclaim and multiple festival selections alike; showbiz documentary, “The Key”, Amazon Prime crime caper, “Double Cross” and mental health awareness film, “Faces”, Kyla Frye is about being the change we want to see, both on and off the screen.  Kyla has an infectious spirit and many wise and wonderful things to say. I hope you enjoy her episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!
