- Take any job you can get to earn money
- Be proactive and get out there as young as possible so you can gain experience
- Started as a stage manager - good thing to start as because you are able to see what is going on behind the scenes
- Appreciate the other roles because without all the people behind the scenes the quality would not be good because they make you look good!
- Learnt many different skills while working on TV - such as rock climbing, shooting, stunts, abseiling
- Most rewarding feeling - being given a check for doing something you love and are passionate about
- Not working can affect your confidence, self esteem, have to work harder to keep going. You start to doubt yourself and ask questions such as - why didn't they want me? Did I not look right? Was I too funny? Should I get a hair cut? You over analyse.
- As an actor you need to be confident and work hard as well as be organised and disciplined - you need these attributes when you are out of work as well as when you are working
- Working on a TV soap - 5am - 8pm, 52 episodes a year, 12 pages to learn, 16 pages a day.
- When not working you need to have a backup plan - have to be proactive! Try and stay creative some how - write scripts or work behind the scenes
- You are only as good as your last programme
- Even when you are watching TV - Think about the actors, the scenes, the plot in more detail.
- Use everything that you know and be disciplined - it is in your control
- Auditioning - no what your job is - don't go in trying to get the job, an actor is supposed to create a compelling and interesting character that serves the text and then they walk away. everything else is out of your control. don't go there to get the job go there to present what you do.
