Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.

This monthly podcast series, hosted by actor David John Clark, will focus on his journey as a late bloomer actor and the people that he has crossed paths with on that journey. Episodes will partly showcase the trials and tribulations of starting on a journey in the acting world that many (or dare we say, most) actors commence in their early 20’s or 30’s, and usually via 3- or 4-years of formal drama school education straight out of senior high school. But specifically, the series will delve into what David has learnt on that journey, who he has met, what have they taught him that can be shared with you, the listener. These are all things that are relevant for all actors, regardless of their stage on the journey. 

Guests will range from fellow late bloomer actors, to industry guests including casting directors, agents and acting teachers. Guests who can impart their knowledge with us on how to navigate the world of acting in their particular domain, whether that be casting, acting classes, indie or student films, navigating social media, promotion and self-marketing or how to just be resilient in a very dynamic and changing world.

What can you expect from these episodes: For the actor listeners: whether you’re coming to the party late because you started out acting in school or your younger years but gave it up for a career choice, family or any other endeavour; or whether you’re taking up acting as a mid-life crisis (or a mid-life revelation or change of direction); or you are a younger actor, starting out on this journey, or even a seasoned actor, you may have asked the question, “Why?” Or more likely, “How?” Very pertinent questions, both of which David has asked himself continuously on his acting journey. In the upcoming episodes you will hear words of wisdom and wonderful stories of self-discovery and learnings from actors and industry guests, all willing to share their learnings to assist you, the listener, and hopefully enable you to broaden your knowledge on this journey. 

It is the ambition of this podcast to bring wisdom and motivation, to not just fellow late bloomer actors, but all actors listening.  And for the non-actors, you too will take away something positive with you from the epi
