Rise above the drama! There’s quite a bit of that in the acting world for some reason but don’t get caught up in the weeds! Don’t try to outdo others or drag others down with you. Georgie and Pierce are here to point the way towards the high road.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The main thing that can hold you back is having an incorrect mindset towards the acting business. Do not see it as competition but as an opportunity.  
• Do not become bitter over other people landing roles due to their connections. Get out there and network yourself.
• In order for you to be happy in your career you have to face up to the difficult tasks, one of which is facing up to the fact that others have better connections, work history, social media presence and showreels. It is up to you to achieve the same.
• Stress will not help you land work. It is superfluous at best and detrimental at worst. Do not pressure yourself and take an open approach.
• You will always have your own creativity. Create your own work. There is no need to suck the joy out of the acting career.

BEST MOMENTS

‘A lot of time when people aren’t finding a huge amount of success in landing roles it becomes very easy to blame others for their lack of success.’ – Pierce 

‘You’re gonna come across arseholes in the industry. It’s bound to happen. But sometimes those arseholes are kinda successful and I guarantee it’s not because of their demeanour it’s because of the methods they use to land roles be that networking or personal branding’ – Georgie 

‘Have a little chat with your brain and say ‘there is enough room for both me and this person to be successful. I will land the roles that I am meant to land and I will land them when I’m meant to.’’ – Georgie

‘So what I want you to do is get a firm grip of that reality, whatever that might be, and make that commitment to yourself that you’re going to do the work needed in order to get yourself out of that rut.’ – Pierce 

‘There are going to be things in your career that are gonna make you feel like crap but it is temporary. If you can carry on from that it is only going to make you stronger.’ – Georgie
