Whether you have an agent or not, whether you have formal training or not, here are some actionable steps that you can take to get into paid acting work, starting now! Take note, as this could be the beginning of a successful career. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Use casting sites. Find one that works best for you. Spotlight, however, is usually only good if you have an agent on there.
• Stay consistent on your chosen site. Apply regularly and remember there is a time lag from application to reply. 
• Do not sign with the first agent that you encounter when you are starting out. These tips work if you have an agent or not.
• By doing indie projects which are professional, good, paid work that allows you to network, you will also build up your IMDB score.
• While you are without representation you can start building up your network in the industry by using LinkedIn. Use all your social media as a professional representation of yourself. 
• There is never going to be anyone better than you at being yourself. If you have a large social media following, that can help sell a film. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Take your time to find which one or which ones work for you. For the love of God, don’t sign yourself up to all the casting sites in the world because no one has that kind of money!’ – Georgie

‘It feels to some actors like that kind of prestige of being through the drama school process is kind of taken away from you. This is not the case at all.’ – Pierce 

‘There is a big debate in the industry about nepotism versus networking and for anyone that isn’t quite sure on the difference between those two, nepotism is the act of people being put into roles because of people that they know regardless of whether they are talented or not or right for the role or not.’ – Georgie

‘Your network is your net worth, especially in this industry.’ – Pierce

‘Make sure you’ve got your showreel up there and your head shots. Make sure that any work you do that is representative of you as the performer is up on that site whether it's Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn.’ – Georgie  

‘When you introduce yourself to somebody, how do you do it? Do you say that you’re an actor? Or do you say ‘I work in Tescos and I’m trying to get into acting as well.’? Because making that shift into saying ‘I am an actor’ is going to be one of the most transformational things that you can do for your mindset.’ – Pierce
