A live Q&A on self tape kit, which tapes to turn down, where first TV roles come from, labeling your Spotlight clips and headshots that tell casting where you fit.
12 Things Actors Should Know About Landing Your First UK TV Role
Drawn from what is actually said on camera, so you can decide whether to
spend the 1:20:12 watching it.
A complete self tape kit costs about 150 pounds
Use a truly blank wall or a 35 pound pop-up background, with no door frames or picture hooks in shot. A phone camera is enough. Add a mic, since onboard audio loses whispered nuance, plus a 10 pound LED panel behind you and a pair of softboxes for about 50 pounds. The hosts say the kit lasts ten years.
An actor asked for help with ten tapes a day. The advice was to stop trying to do all of them and pick the two or three a week for shows you actually want. The hosts say no casting director they have interviewed in 15 years objects to that.
Tech stress takes your mind off the one thing you are there to do. Quoting Bryan Cranston's idea that the audition is the job, they suggest playing with takes: start softer, end angry, try a line another way. At home you get more than the two attempts a room allows.
They cite Equity guidance of roughly three working days to turn a tape around, not counting weekends. When the host got a tape while flying to a conference, he asked to do it when he got back three days later, and casting said yes straight away.
First TV roles are usually day players on serial drama
Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Casualty and EastEnders cast roughly 2,500 speaking day player roles a year between them, by the hosts' count. Think the GP breaking bad news or the sonographer. They say 14 words on Hollyoaks can pay about 1,000 pounds.
Shoot material for who you are, not who you want to be
If your natural type is clean cut authority, do not film yourself as the mugger. Film a scene aligned with your type and send it to the teams casting those roles. And make it a duologue, because a monologue with reflective silences shows none of the listening casting wants to see.
Self tape scenes belong on Spotlight, labeled and separate
A self tape shows raw ability, while a showreel proves you can hit marks and keep continuity. Never stitch three tapes into one file, and never label a clip drama scene. One member's clip marked period became 1950s housewife confronts killer, and that gets clicked.
Sixty seconds is ideal and 90 is the limit, because a tape has no cuts to hold attention. Casting director Kelly Valentine Hendry warned that a weak clip added to fill time gives casting a reason not to bring you in. A supplied long scene can run longer.
Their order is Spotlight first, which needs one professional credit or an agent, then Mandy, then Backstage, then StarNow. They also note that UK TV work clusters in London, Manchester, Scotland and Belfast, so be ready to travel.
An actor stuck in Italy by canceled flights missed an in-person TV audition. The hosts say it is fine to have your agent ask casting for a Zoom or a short delay when the circumstances are out of your control.
Name your type as one umbrella, then list the jobs under it
The host's umbrella is clean cut authority, which means police officer, lawyer, businessman, doctor. For a member from Bolton it was salt of the earth grafter, which means mechanic, delivery driver, builder. Casting should see that in your headshots before they meet you.
A member's shots were well lit with a good connection to the lens, yet so neutral that no casting director could place him in a show. Go into a shoot with five planned setups, each adding information about where you fit.
[music] And I think after a false start patch, we are now indeed [laughter] live. Fingers crossed.

Um, so we're always looking for new strategies to land uh, you know, more opportunity, but we thought we'll just go live and then and we could do a Q&A for everybody. Whether you're getting involved in First C or Fast Track or the membership or not, doesn't matter.
We thought, you know what, we're sort of in the zone now. Um, we've had a really intense two weeks where we're just talking about this every single day. So, let's jump on and just help you with anything that you might need help with. Could be head shot, could be show real, could be agent, getting a new agent, getting your first agent, changing agents, building a better rapport with your current agent, getting on casting director's radars, casting assistance radars, casting associates radars, nailing yourself tapes, tech, I don't know, even like everything we talk about like side hustles, entrepreneurship, getting out your day job. We can probably help with everything, pet, right? - Pretty much. Yeah. [laughter] - Nice. Is anyone Is anyone here on YouTube yet? Let's Let's get a comment up on YouTube. Come on. Someone someone hopefully is in the uh in the house.
We've not been live in like three months. - People viewing us on YouTube. No comment. - Yes. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'll take five. If you're on YouTube, drop us a uh drop us a comment. We're going to go we're going to start doing this again. We used to do this every single week and then we sort of move to uh the model of putting out pre-recorded videos on YouTube every week. So, do sub subscribe. We we put out great content every week, but we just haven't been live in such a long time, especially in the afternoon. So, people probably aren't uh you know, probably aren't aren't up to scratch.
Um so, yeah, let us know that you're here. And if you've got any questions, let's just dive in. What is it that you guys might be uh might be struggling with in your acting career? And they said in or out. I mean, we're not, you know, we're not a therapist, but maybe we can help you with that as well. Um, but yeah, doesn't really um it doesn't really matter, you know, sort of what stage of your career you're at. Doesn't matter how simple you think the question is. If you just need an answer, um, you know, let's um, let's give you that. David Murphy's here on Instagram. I see. Bird has just joined on Instagram as well. Vickiy's in the house on Instagram now as well.
So, Faith got doing my self tapes over on Instagram. So, what in particular are you struggling with self tapewise, Faith? Let us um, let us know. said, "Hell help hell. Hate cell tates with a passion." Right. Let's have a look at this then. So, - well, before you do, I've brought Ruth's comment up here. Ruth, I shouldn't be here. I've got a big casting tomorrow. - Ruth, well, let's just let's g you up so that you smash your casting tomorrow. And we're only going to be here for an hour. We're only going to be here till 5:00.
But, um, let's have a look then because Ruth, your your audition, I imagine, is probably uh maybe a recall after a self tape if if you're saying it's a big one. Um, or it could still be another cell tape that you got to do tomorrow. Self tapes, whether we like it or not, Faith, are without a doubt here to stay and they are the primary method for auditioning, at least first round for TV shows, and a lot of the time, you know, roles are just cast directly off tapes. Pet, you just did Channel 4's Wrong Move. You landed that job off a tape, no recall required. I just did Silent Witness season 30, landed that off a tape, no recall required. Um, sometimes obviously recalls are required, you know, for uh, you know, for for larger roles and guest leads and and leads especially. um but they're going nowhere, right? So, we need to really get comfortable with doing them. Um there's two sides to tapes. One is the performance side obviously, you know, um making sure that you nail your performance. And I feel P, whether you agree on this or not, from what we see in our community, we've coached nearly 42,000 actors over the last 15 years.
The thing that stops actors getting the best performance out of their tape is getting overwhelmed by the tech because they convince themselves, - I'm a technophobe. I wasn't born with tech. I'm not I'm I'm an actor. I should just have to learn my lines. I'm not a cameraman. I'm not an editor. I don't know how to light things. This is something that honestly you can learn in a day properly if you actually if you if you stop kind of like pushing it away and then it'll serve you for the rest of your career. But we need to go right let's start with the very very basics and go right okay techwise what do we need for a great tape? Obviously first of all plain background. Now a lot of people just shoot against a plain wall. That's absolutely fine.
But one thing I would absolutely avoid, and I see this quite a lot in uh in cell tapes, it's just bloody distracting. Um we see the edges of door frames patch in a lot of tapes. We see picture hooks left on the wall where people are taking their picture down. Um if you are going to use a blank wall for your tape, use a blank wall or get a pop-up background. It'll cost you literally 35 quid. Plain gray or plain blue pop-up background off Amazon. folds down into a nice little uh nice little circle and then you just throw it up every time you need it. Um in after that cameras in terms of uh what you're going to shoot on your mobile phone is more than enough. You don't have to, you know, buy a DSLR camera. Obviously, you can do um the main thing after the camera I think is the audio. So many people just use the onboard audio on their cameras or on their phones. We've got a video coming out next week where we actually review five microphone options for self tapes.
Um, you'll be you'll be glad to know that the most expensive one is not the best one. Actually, it's a very the best one is actually a very reasonably priced one for about 35 quid. Um, and then that just means that your audio is going to be crystal clear, Ruth. So, um, a Faith, wasn't it? Sorry. Um, a lot of a lot of nuance is lost in performances when you're not miked up because if I suddenly had to, you know, really drop my voice and I was so whispering in a self tape, if I was just relying on the camera that's, you know, six feet across the room to pick that up, it's just not going to pick it up nearly as well. So maybe I have to project a little bit more. I lose that kind of subtlety in my performance. So being miked up will really help you uh level up your self tape game. After that, you're looking at lighting. Um it really makes a difference if you can light yourself tapes both yourself and we started with a a very cheap£10 LED panel lighting our background. So then it sort of like makes you pop off the background.
You just put the LED panel behind you. Um and then you can light yourself with some pretty cheap effectively uh what they 50 quid the soft boxes roughly for a pair. Um so all in all cell tape kit faith you're looking about 150 quid. It'll last you 10 years and then when you start you know seeing the the quality of these cell tapes the look of them you'll probably start enjoying them more and you can then focus when you master that you can then focus on the um on the performance. Um key to a great performance in a cell tape pitch I think is is often your reader as well mate. um who it is you're uh you're reading opposite face. I don't if you have like a regular self tape reader Pet'll always read in for me. I'll always reading for him. Um we get a good cadence going. We know each other's strengths and weaknesses. So it means that you know you begin to learn more about the actor. You can direct them better the more consistent you are doing tapes with them.
Um and then after a while when you get it down pet you can really sort of do a tape mate in 60 90 minutes max. um enjoy it relatively so [laughter and gasps] and fingers crossed, you know, even if you land a couple of lines on a on a show, a Netflix show or something like that, one of that, you know, a quite high-end drama, you're looking at probably three and a half 4,000 quid return on your 90minute work and your 150 quid for uh for your uh for your tech. But let's see um what's Faith got there. She says, "Takes time. Uh have to bother friends, lots of work. Have to do like 10 uh 10 a day, have zero life." If you're getting 10 10 a day, Faith, I mean, that's pretty sweet in terms of the opportunity. If you are getting 10, I would absolutely not do all 10 because I don't think you can do all 10. Well, what I would do in that situation, Faith, is choose, you know, the two or the three a week um that you really, really want that are for really good TV shows. You know, let's say some of those are independent films you don't want to do. Some might be uh you know, commercials that you don't really want. you know, if you've been there, done that, you're looking to sort of like level up your career, um, choose the it's fine to say no. There's not a casting director that that we've interviewed in 15 years of doing this that has not been like, look, it is okay absolutely to say no to the good to make way for the great.
So, if you are, I mean, there's a lot of members of the art community. There's a lot of people I know who would who would love to be having 10 10 cells a day, but that is too much. That is too much face. So, yeah. Um, let us know what they're for, though. Let us know what what kind of uh what kind of things. Um she's got no director have to pay a coach. What you paying a coach for though? Um you know I'm seeing lots. So it says only I only I only do the big big ones only. Well yeah I mean just ch just just pick pick and choose your battles. Um if you if you're stuck for readers and you're stuck for people you know to actually like you know work with you on these tapes and don't don't pay coach if you're a good actor.
You don't need to pay a coach for every single self tape that you uh that you do. If you want help with the tech, then pay someone for the tech to show it you in one day and then you'll never need to, you know, sort of like learn that again. Um but uh in our community hub, I mean, god, we have like I don't know if if you if you're aware about this, Faith, or just for anybody. Um we have like 1,200 actors in our community hub and you can just jump in there day or night. I mean, I'll show you I'll show my screen post. Oh, we are p this is a test. Let's see if we if we remember how to do this, mate. [laughter] Uh, hang on. We've not we've not done this for a while [laughter] and and the software we use has changed considerably. Right. So, we're probably going to disappear off the screen for a second. Let's uh let's share that and then let me change.
There you go. Right. So, Instagram, we're probably disappeared. YouTube, you'll still see us, but [snorts] Instagram, you'll still you'll be able to see the website. In act on this, we have something called the community hub. Every member gets access to this part here. And um it's like 1,200, maybe not quite, 1200, 1147 actors in here. And we have a self tape channel and you can just drop in here day or night and you can uh I mean, you can see it's buzzing. People are in here literally all day, every day. And just go, "Hey guys, listen, I've got a cell tape to do at 4:00 today. Anyone read in with me?" People will absolutely jump in and they'll read in you for free. Not going to charge you.
Um and uh you know there's a WhatsApp group that we have as well where people can request you know cell tape readers as well. Um and that banner at the top there is true together we can do so much. So yeah don't think you have to do it sort of like all on your own as well. Um and do just pick the ones that you um that you actually want. But hopefully that helps a bit. But yeah if anyone's struggling and you want to be surrounded by incredible actors who are motivated, inspired and actually want to help you um get an act on this membership and um come join the party. What would you add pet? You you even have a side hustle company called that cell tape guy. How how do you enable people to enjoy tapes more? - I think it's by the thing I say to everybody who comes to me asking about self tapes or comes to me to do a self tape is we need to make it fun again like make it play because that what it that's what it is. Brian Cranston said it's best like the the audition is the job. If you get the job, that that's a bonus.
But what you're there to do in any audition, whether it be in person or on a self tape, is to present your version of the role that you're going to play. So if you're stressed out by getting a reader, by doing all the tech, by learning how to edit, by not, you know, focusing fully on the thing that you want to do, - then when it comes to do that, your mind is completely elsewhere. So for me, what I do is I take all that away from you. Then it's just a chance for me to it's a chance for me to act as well because I love acting. And even if I'm not on camera, I like to give as good as I can get for the the other person so I can get the best out of them as well. And we'll do a couple of takes and we go right. Is that the way that you saw it? Are you happy with that? Yes. No. Right. Okay.
If they're not, we'll do it again. If they are, we go right. Let's play for a bit. Let's let's just see what else comes out. Let's You You started off really angry at the beginning there. Let's Let's change that. So you end angry and you start off softer. or have you thought about doing it this way? Have you thought about doing it that way? What does that line really mean to you? Well, to me it means this. What if we tried that?
And more or less, the more that people play and the more that they relax into the performance, the better it becomes. So, that's the thing for self tapes for me is to just forget everything else and actually play. And this is where I think self tapes do beat in the room because in the room you have two time uh two attempts at it. - Two attempts and you're out. Yeah. Yeah. three max when you're with me or when you're at home doing your own self tapes, you can go as again and again and again. Not that you should go again and again and again like the I always normally say within two takes you you've you've nailed it, but if you want to play with it and see what else you can discover and you might find something else, then you've got the opportunity to do so, right? So yeah, I I absolutely love soft tapes. - I have booked all my jobs in the last sort of two, three years off tapes. I've been in the room probably twice for recalls but everything has been uh has been tapes and um they have leveled the playing field a lot in terms of you know scheduling you can do in your own time uh people are you know people have got kids they're carers for for people you know they've got a bit more flexibility but I get it in terms of like there's never going to be a perfect opportunity for everybody in a perfect tapes are never going to come at the perfect time for you that's the thing as well like there are times where you think oh my god I'm grateful this opportunity but this is the last thing I need right now because I've got the 20 things that I've got to do today. And that's when it is okay to just go right, what am I going to prioritize?
And if I can't prioritize this tape and I don't want to, it's fine to let it go. There will be more. If you're proactive as an absolutely be more - there's equity guidelines to say this should should give you x amount of time. It shouldn't be next day. You know, you've got I think is it five working days before the tape has to be in - and it three I think not including weekends. - Not including weekends. Yeah. So it's something so it doesn't have to be there and then you can try and schedule it for a period of your life in that 3 days, 5 days, whatever it is where it's more convenient for you. And if that means doing it at midnight, then you know we've done a tape at midnight and we landed the role from it. - Seven grand job between us for for that. We did do it at quart to one in the morning. I wouldn't recommend that face to be honest with you, but uh need needs more.
We had no choice. But yeah, tapes, interesting one. People, you know, not going to be uh everyone's cup of tea, but I think if you're in the industry now, you go in with your eyes wide open. It's pointless kicking back against it. It's literally futile. You're wasting energy that you could be putting into something that's uh going to, you know, going to actually get you somewhere. - I see what Faith has put there, like they don't get to meet you in person and see how awesome you are in real life. I never booked in in person. Never booked in person. I book on self tapes. So, personally, I prefer self [laughter] tapes. There's something wrong about me in person that people just don't like.
- It's uh well, you know, you get to present your best your best self and only your best self on a uh on a tape. Right. What else is coming through? We're here to answer as many questions as we possibly can in the next 43 minutes. Any questions that you need answered? - We've got some coming through on YouTube at the moment. Ruth Curt said, "Thank you. It's for the rec. It's not a recall. It's a self tape. cast and director contacted me yesterday evening for two scenes to do, but they also supplied two full episodes. It's a new drama series and the role is mother of the lead character.
- Ruth, I think you'd be perfect for it. I know you're casting site very well. You are matriarchal, momsy in a nice way. Um, and uh, yeah, warm um, motherly. It's yours. It's got your name on it. Go for it, Ruth. - Safe. I think I'm create uh, safe creates. I think I'm saying your name correct. How do I get scenes for a show reel to help get roles if I haven't got any roles or scenes in anything yet? - Brilliant question.
This Oh god, this is something that we cover like so much in acts on this in our membership in the first TV roll fast track program that we um that we are literally in the middle. I I'll just put that up on the screen actually for a second. Anyone Yeah. who's uh who is looking for their first TV roll or if you've got under five TV credits just uh we mentioned it before but we might as well because doors are closing um in hang on let's just get this out of the way for people bloody Instagram's just weird when you're sharing your screen um doors closing one day 7 hours basically tomorrow night um at midnight we close the doors on this program first CV roll fastrack 2026 um it's a 12 month program helping you land that first role so I'm bringing this up because because say if you just said there like how do you get like your first role without actually having any material from your first role to get your first role. Um ultimately it's about manufacturing authentic showre material that really is aligned with who you are as an actor. Um when you're starting out you're generally playing what we call day player roles. Um and in UK television they're very often um they are in in in like high-end drama but they're very often most people's first CB roles are in serial drama. So they are shows like Coronation Street, Emmaale, Holly Oaks, Casualty, um East Enders, those kind of shows. Um and you'll find these day player roles. Um they come into all of these episodes like two and a half thousand a year are cast roughly across those five shows. Um and they're all, you know, audition for cast speaking roles, you know, they're not background work or anything like it's not extra work. Um they pay very well.
Like 14 words in Holios will pay you £1,000 um or more depending on uh on what it is exactly that you're you're doing. But you'll go into the show for maybe a scene, two scenes, three scenes. You might be the GP breaking some bad news to one of the main characters because they've got a diagnosis. You might be the synographer doing a baby scan for one of the main characters cuz they're pregnant. Um you could be a copper, a judge. Um we've had in in our community, God, I mean just everything from like delivery drivers, prison guards, prisoners, um scallies like thugs, muggers. Um really good roles though. You know, you get to, you know, you you really are acting. And it's, as I say, it's not it's not background work. Um, but we find the best the best strategy to get these kind of roles safe um to get your foot in the door is to shoot material very much aligned with those kind of roles. Um, so you might if you are your natural casting type is a clean cut authority kind of, you know, person. I often play clean cut authority.
You play coppers, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, um, suited and booty characters a lot of the time. Then the last thing you want to do is go out and shoot, you know, some showre scene or a self tape style scene as the mugger or the thug or the scally that's completely the opposite of who you actually are. You want to shoot stuff that's in alignment with who you are and then get it in front of the casting teams at those kind of shows because they're looking to cast those roles every single week. And we we do that basically within this program. We've got a 12 month program where we walk you through absolutely every single step of that. And um the track record of this is phenomenal in terms of the number of people we taken through it now who's landed their first, second, third, even fourth TV role. But you can read all about it on acts on this.tv/first. I've pinned it in the uh in the comments. You can watch a load of testimonials. This is Diane at the top here. Dellish. She's a legend.
She literally just a few weeks ago booked her first TV role through doing this program um on the bay. ITV is the Bay. It's not out yet. She's filmed it. Um won't spoil it for you, but yeah, you can go and watch a video of everyone who's uh who succeeded there. But yeah, it's it's all about getting show real material that you have to film yourself because you not been in anything yet. Um, and getting uh showroom material that is really align with who you are, not who you want to be. If you are a kind, warm um matriarchal like mother like Ruth, shoot some material that really shows that, you know, maybe you're going to be the kind uh empathetic teacher, you know, that would be a great day player role. They come up in in shows all the time. or uh or a nurse, you know, something like that that again comes up all the time in these serial drama, these first TV roles. Don't go shooting something like you're in Game of Thrones and send it to the casting team of Coronation Street. It's entirely pointless.
They're not um they're not looking for that. Um although saying that, um we've got uh casting director Kate Rose James, casting director for House of the Dragon in our membership doing a session for our members the week after next. So, if you do want to be in a show like Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, then you do want to shoot something like that, you could send it to somebody like Kate and it might be uh might be of use, but yeah, you film them yourself safe basically is the answer to that in order to get shower material. And there are show producers out there who will film you shot from scratch material as well and shoot it very well. There's people like Chris Stone who you want to look up. He's a great guy we work with. Um, you know, or you can if you don't have the budget for that, absolutely shoot a self tape style scene. There's a dual log. No monologues. We see people doing monologues of TV. pointless. Don't do a monologue and film it and send it out for TV.
People want to see you act and they want to see you listening and reacting. Um, not just being self-indulgent in a monologue where you have silences every 3 seconds and start making noises like this. How many times people do it? They do it all the time. I'm doing a monologue and I'm going to I'm going to show that I'm really reflecting on what I'm saying. Yeah. And having that day Oh, I hate it. I hate it. It's so indulgent. I just don't like monologues. Um, so yeah, do a duog much better. - Just because we're on this theme at the moment, Juke, I will get to your question in a second, but Richard has asked, "Do you need to pay for formal showre scenes or will a self tape style scene be acceptable on a plain background on spotlight reel?" Yep, self tape scenes will be absolutely acceptable.
Uh, Rich, um, you don't have to spend hundreds of pounds on a show real scene. They do two different jobs, mate. Right. One thing I love about self tape scenes on your spotlight is um that they show you absolutely your most vulnerable. There's nothing to hide behind. No editing, there's no second takes, there's no cuts in the footage. Um generally there's no walking and talking and props and all that sort of, you know, stuff that you can hide behind music, color grading. It's just you and the camera in it. Obviously hopefully a good reader that you're bouncing off. Um so they're really useful for showing your raw acting ability. That's why we audition that way, you know. Um, in terms of showre scenes, um, they they play a different like role for me.
Yes, they show the acting as well, but they show that you can do quite a few other things. They show you that you can hit marks on set, which means walking to a point within the set, so you're still in focus for the camera. You'll have a mark on the floor, generally with a piece of tape or a bean bag that you have to hit each take for the camera to be in focus. So, it shows you can do that. It will show continuity. So, if it's edited out of, you know, one scene might be 10 different shots. Um, it shows that your continuity is correct. if what you're doing in each of those cuts is actually the same. So if I take a I pick up my phone and I you know on the words right I'm going to ring him and my phone's here on the next take if I go right I'm going to ring him and then I put my phone here like later it shows my continuities off. So it shows um that you can do continuity. It shows very often that you're um you know you can react and like work with another person on screen. Maybe you are working with props.
So they do quite a few different jobs. Uh, one thing also shows that you can take direction and that you can uh adjust your performance depending on the shot size itself. - Yep. Cuz yeah, you'll have establishers, wides, mediums, close-ups. Um, one thing I would say, Rich, is Yeah, if you're doing um self tapes though for spotlight, don't create a reel of them. That one of the worst things I think actors can do is is go, "Right, I'm going to shoot three self tapes and I'm just going to put them back to back in one video file and upload that." looks rubbish because obviously they're all the same background like it can very much if you're skipping through you don't know which one you're on or where you're at. Um, keep them separate, rich, and then and label them really really specifically. This is key as well for everybody if you want to get your material watched. Stop labeling stuff on your spotlight acting clip, you know, um even something like, you know, drama scene. I mean, it's absolutely pointless. What is it? Why do I want to click on it?
Um, it would be far better for you to to give a five, six word description uh in the title of what that is. Um, you know, uh, it could be, you know, police uh, police officer um, investigates suspected abuse, something like that. It's way more like, oh, I want to click that. Or we always use I'll use it again. You've heard it a million times, but one of our members, Dy, who you saw on that video there, who's just um, booked the bay, she had a period scene on a spotlight. and she just labeled it period and it was like it's great scene really really good but I'm like it's not compelling enough you know if I'm Jill Travellic the casting director for Downtown Abbey um you know or um you know Kate Rain you know anyone who who's done any sort of you know uh period stuff maybe I would click it but if I'm you know if I'm a cast that doesn't do a lot of period you know just having a scene that's labeled period might not peique my interest enough to watch it even though it show I'm a great actor so I was like what's in this scene die she explained it and we re relabeled it 1950s housewife confronts killer and you go, "Ooh, right. I really want to watch that." So, labels um are really, really important. Label those self tapes individually um and get them up on there. But yeah, mate, you don't have to spend a fortune, dude, at all. - Excellent. Juke, I promise you I will get to you. But another self tape question has just popped in from - Hang with us.
Hang with us, Juke. - Mark has asked, "How long, as in duration, would you make a self tape? I've written a few that are about 60 seconds or so long. - Banging Mark. Great. Yeah. Yeah. And maximum I'd go to 90 seconds. One and a half minutes, but that's a long time when you're watching a tape because you've not got those cuts. You know, when you watch YouTube videos nowadays, and it could be somebody like talking just the camera. I mean, we do it. We we shoot on multiple uh multiple cameras because every few seconds to keep somebody's attention, there's a cut.
And you'll see this on TV. every few seconds or when you're watching YouTube videos, if it's in the same location, you might end up like the the the person whose YouTube video is, they might zoom in on themselves for like every 15 seconds or 10 seconds, there'll be like a little a little cut, a little visual kind of change to keep you engaged. Um, so one minute is great for a sales set because we've got that, you know, we've got that sort of uh attention span. Um, 90 seconds is sort of pushing it to the absolute limit. Over that, guarantee you it's not getting watched. Um, so yeah, Mark, you're you're great. 60C mark, mate, is fantastic. And um you just want to peique casting team's interest enough to go right I want to see more. Don't give them so much that I've seen everything or I've given them or give them a reason not to give you a tape. Um Kelly Valent Henry said that to me 12 years ago. Um she's the casting director for Bridgeten. Um she said listen sometimes you know I'll see somebody show real and by scene one scene two I'm like I'm convinced this person's great.
I want to see him. And then they'll put something in that doesn't show them off as well that they've just crowbarred in. It might be a student film from six years ago, but they thought, "Oh, I've got a few minutes left on my real. I'll just put it in." And she goes, "There's a reason now not for me not to bring you in." So, don't give them that reason. - But that's if you're writing your own self tapes, Mark. If they've given you a self tape, and you're squeaky with it, but you're not rushing it and it takes over 60 seconds. That is absolutely fine. They're probably prepared for that. - Yeah, definitely. Yeah. If you've got a six- page scene and you're doing a self, don't try and squeeze that into 60 seconds, Mark. No, you're good.
Mark knows what he's doing. Anyway, Mark's a great actor. - Excellent. Juke, we are coming to you, my friend. I promise you we would. - Yes, Juke. - What are the best websites that will find me the best auditions around near the East Midlands? - Right, Juke? So, there are multiple casting websites in this industry. Um, in terms of like the East Midlands, are you prepared to travel outside of that? I mean, you might not necessarily get a lot of TV auditions in the Midlands. You will get stuff um, you know, Silent Witnesses is shot in the Midlands.
started that recently. Doctors used to be unfortunately that's kind of gone. Uh but you are looking generally mate at London and Manchester in the UK and Scotland there's a lot of TV work going on up there as well and over in Belfast now as well in Ireland. But UK wise um you know we've got really sort of like the epicenters of of Manchester and London. So you might have to travel a little bit further outside of of that area. But obviously the main one we all know that we probably all pay for is Spotlight. Um, Spotlight is the, you know, the biggest casting platform in our industry. Full stop. The biggest casting directors put briefs out there. You will get access to more briefs if you have an agent. If you don't have an agent, though, you still get access to quite a lot of stuff and you can still do so much outreach off your own back. That's a huge part of First TV Fastrack.
We teach people how to reach out to casting directors with marketing material like self tapes aligned with the shows they cast to get roles. Um, dozens of our actors have booked roles now, you know, through doing that and many without an agent. you know, lots and lots and lots get their first CV ro without an agent by, you know, effectively being their own agent. Um, so Spotlight, if you can get on it, you only need one, is it one credit now? One professional credit to get on Spotlight. - Or if you have an agent um that's on Spotlight, they can put you on Spotlight the same day. You got to pay for it though. It's a couple hundred quid a year. Um, and then I would go in this order. I think next best is probably going to be Mandy uh and Backstage probably. Well, maybe I mean they're about the same company, aren't they? The same same thing now.
But I'd say man Yeah, man. Mandy is is, you know, would be the the the next level underneath Spotlight. You'll find not as well paid jobs on there. Not as much TV, but you also get commercials, independent films, uh short films, you know, stuff that will really, you know, sort of get your foot on the ladder when it comes to just getting out there filming stuff. Uh and then underneath that, yeah, you've got something called backstage, and then you've got Star Now as well. And I would rank them in that order, basically. So, um, if you can't get on spotlight yet, I'd just go straight to Mandy. Again, there's a there's a fee attached to it. Unfortunately, you have to pay for that to get full access to it. But, um, you are working in an industry where one job can pay you hundreds, uh, you know, if not thousands of pounds for just very often if you when you get into the to the TV world, half a day's work can bag you three and a half, 4,000 quid these days. - A few people on Instagram are wishing you a happy belated birthday for yesterday, my friend. - Oh, yeah.
I was 44 yesterday. This is where you all say no. Never. No way will. Yeah. 44 years old. - 54. - I know. I mean, look at me. I'm losing me hair a bit. I've got very shiny forehead. I need to deal with that really.
Um, I'm not Botox or anything like that, though. I've got I don't have that many wrinkles. But cheers for the birthday messages. Yeah. I've not really had a chance to celebrate yet cuz what? - It's cuz you don't smile. - I smile all the time. I've just got a massive head. My forehead is like is is rivaling Aunt McPartland. - Richard was 56 yesterday. Rich, were you rich? 9th of September.
Are we birthday friend? Birthday friends. [laughter] Nice one, Rich. Happy birthday, mate. Hope you had a hope you had a good one. - Diane, unfortunately, has not had a good day. I just missed my first person audition for a TV role in London as I am stuck in Italy due to the flights being cancelled because of a blunder with air traffic control and I am fuming. - Diane, what an absolute booger. Do you know what in situations like that? So dy basically had an inerson audition booked in London she's stuck in Italy. How I help myself deal with those things. One dye I'll probably go and get myself a large latte and just go and sit sit in the airport or wherever you uh wherever you are.
Um you know just having having a little relax. Um, but what what I do p I convince myself that if I this is just going to sound so mental that if I'd have gone I'd gone into London I probably would have like maybe it's just - this is a theory it's called burnt toast theory. - Oh, I've never even heard of it but I I I'd convinced myself D that if I'd have gone into London for that audition today, I'd have been hit by a car and it had been game over for me. So I go, "Oh, thank you. I'm alive. I wasn't supposed to go. Something was going to happen. It's all right. I live to see another day. There'll be more auditions." - Go honestly go Google it. the burnt toast area. I found out about it the other day.
I was like, I wonder if Ross knows about that. Yeah. - No, I've never never heard of it. I just remember when I when um I I got out of the last two for that job in Canada. I remember I won't talk about that again. [laughter] - And um uh I I went right well I mean it would have changed my life that job. That would have been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. And um obviously wasn't very happy that I didn't get it. I was down to last two. We did screen tests and everything. They flew us over. Um would have been a really really good job, but I just thought no, you know what?
with my luck cuz the traffic's on the wrong side of the road and it's all like I'd have just walked out in the road one day filming. Boom. Might have got the TV job but I'd have been dead the last one I ever did. I'll not take the job and I'll just live to see another day. So, um I just convinced myself of that. - A question I have on this actually would be would it have been okay for Diane to ask her agent to get in touch with casting say you know it's mitigating the circumstances I'm stuck in Italy because of something I can't control. Is there any chance of a Zoom recall or we delay it a day or something? - Yes, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. I Let us know if you if you've done that, D. There's I remember getting a a cell tape as I took off to a conference in America and I really wanted it.
I thought, "Oh my god, I really I really care about this job. I don't want to rush it." Now, I could have done it in my hotel when I touched down in the States, but I wasn't prepared. I didn't have anything with me. It was different time zone. I would have struggled to get a reader. And I messaged on the plane and I went like, I'm look, I'm 60,000 ft in the area. I really want to do this audition for you because this subject matter really means a lot to me. I'm going to be in the States for 3 days. Is there any way I can do this when I get back so that I can do it well? And they messaged me straight back and went absolutely. So they are flexible. I think if you did message D, you could you could definitely do a self tape for them when you get back.
Um just said my flight was canceled on Wednesday and can't get another flight until tomorrow. I did a self tip, but it was not good because of the noise. - Oh, so you still Well, you're still in the mix then. And hopefully, I mean, let's see. Maybe maybe they might be doing recalls and they might go, "You know what? I'm going to give her a shot because you did it under mitigating circumstances. Fingers crossed for you, Diane. Um, but don't worry, there will be more if you don't get this." Chail Sonnen, again, I apologize for butchering that name. Hey, man. Thanks for replying to me. I asked about getting first roles without being on spotlight. - Ah, okay.
Yeah. No, yeah, no problem. So, so in terms of like I like I was saying before, um, God, we've coached so many people on the FastTrack program and doors closed tomorrow. Remember everybody, act on this.tv/first. Uh, we only let 100 people on that by the way. There's over 80 people signed up now as well. So, it looks like all places probably will go by tomorrow night. But yeah, act on this.tv/firstroll if you are looking for your first roll. Um, and uh, we've taken so many people through that program, um, where, like I said, where they don't have an agent, they're not on spotlight, um, and they've still landed roles. And it's not, it's not a magic bullet, like it's not an overnight thing. It's not like, okay, here's just a magic button. When you're not on spotlight, you know, and you don't have an agent, yes, you have to work harder, but actually, like, it's pretty good because everything you're doing is for yourself, and when you do book the job, you don't pay any commission either.
But it's just about going right one stuff you do need is is market materials. Right? If you're not a spotlight is fine, but you absolutely need some quality head shot that really capture your authentic casting type. We just did a session for our members this week with Tony Blake. I think he's one of the best headshot photographers in the country. And we talked a lot about this going, listen, like I said before, if your natural type is clean cut authority, um you know, make sure you're leaning into that in your head shot. You're not doing head shot where you're putting a tracksuit on and trying to be the scally. is pointless. You might look like that in one shot, but the second you're on film or you walk into an audition like, "Oh, hang on a minute. This is not this person's essence." Um, and there will be people who whose essence that is, and they're going to beat you. Basically, they will get the roll over you. So, whatever your natural type is, um, if you aren't a natural, naturally warm, bubbly, kind, you know, caring person, get that over in your shots.
You'd be the perfect pediatric nurse, like say the midwife or um, you know, police liaison officer in a in a show potentially as your first TV credit. Um, and then it's marrying those head shots up with that show real material we spoke about before. That doesn't have to be professionally shot show real material. It could be a great self tape, a 60-secer. Again, it's shot well though. It's on a plain background. It's lit well. You've got a wireless mic on. We can hear you nicely. U you've put effort in. And then it's a matter of then getting that market material via email to the casting teams in this industry. And if you don't know who they are, that's what we focus on in the program.
It's what we focus on in the act on this membership. We have every email address for every casting director, casting assistant, and casting associate in TV. You get access to all those details. We can tell you exactly who the casting team is at probably every show in the UK because we live and breathe this every single day. And if you're an actor, you should know this stuff, too. But if you want a shortcut, we can give you that. Um, but then there's no shortcuts to actually doing the work. Like, you still have to do the work. It's why 30-year-old Fast Track is a 12-month program. Um, you know, the fastest I think someone's come into the program and landed a TV job, I think, was probably Josh Chadwick per actually did it in 12 weeks. But - but I'm not, you know, I'm not promising that anybody else like that. That's rare, okay?
You know, most people um get their stuff together. They get a lot we get a lot of success around the 10 month mark. Um and then some people obviously take longer. And then there's obviously people that be honest with you who come with the program don't do the work and don't get don't get anywhere because it's like buying a gym membership and not doing the reps. - Um so there's no freebies in life. You absolutely have to do the work in this industry, but it's open to you whether you're on spotlight or not. So, it's gone on to say, "I got a really good headsh shot based on your advice and made some good self tapes as you've just been saying there, Ross. I want to spend I want to send it to Shaheen Big because she is casting London crime drama roles. Will she look down on me for being green?" - No. Shaheen is one of the nicest casting dancers you'll ever meet. I'd also make sure if it's those kind of roles and you do authentic if you authentically fit those roles, you know, you would be. I don't know what your casting type is.
I I've never seen you walk talk. I don't know how, you know, how you come across, but you know, if you do have that, you know, blokish, uh, you know, kind of masculine hardman energy, uh, you know, you're a Craig Fair brass character or a Vinnie Jones or something like that. Um, those dramas, you know, that, uh, that require those roles. Um, things like Gangs of London, you know, Kelly Valentine Henry cast that, like Des Hamilton casting Top Boy, I don't know if that's coming back. Um, you know, those kind of shows, you absolutely want to shoot material in that vein. Get it to those teams. Shaheen's honestly really really nice and she's renowned um for finding new talent who's done nothing. She discovered Owen Cooper with Phil Barentini for um for adolescence for Netflix and you know he's just won every award under the sun complete unknown before Shaheen found him. Um you know so she's completely open to street casting as well. She does a lot of that. She really is about finding um great new talent, underrepresented talent. Um she's ace really really nice.
Kelly is amazing as well. And I mean, there's not a cast I've met who's not been like super excited about meeting new people who who you would class as as green. You're not green. You just as long as as long as you've learned how this industry works. You know, again, um don't want to, you know, keep flogging a dead horse, but if you join acts on this, you get involved in what we do. You will learn this stuff. It would take you years. We can teach you this stuff very, very quickly. - Faith has said on Instagram that she needs to sign up for this thing. Uh Ross - act on this.tv/faith TV for was like, "Faith, you've been you did you do Faith, I recognize I I recognize you. Didn't you do did you do did you do Bulletproof Actor with us or something one day or am I just getting you completely mixed up with someone else?" Um, let me know. Um, but yeah, act on.tv/first.
If you work in the UK TV industry because it's obviously all uh it's all UK based. Um, you could apply it to any I guess any any kind of market, but you know, they they will probably work slightly differently. Um but yeah, ultimately um as long as you know Daniel Edwards cast for line of duty said to us and so it's cliche is in it but like there's a difference between you know you've got you've got to show that you know your not that you are that you know your as in like you know this industry you know how it operates you know how it works so you can reach out to these casting teams on a level confidently going look I know what it is that you're after and I know how you cast and here's a potential solution for you and if you can do that with enthusiasm no one's going to penalize you for being new, you know, if you've got great energy and you're like, you know, I'm really enthusiastic. I really want this. Um, we had BAF the BAFTA the winning director Dermad Gogggins on the other day, P. And he and he was like he was saying like, you know, how like he loves it when actors are like, I really want it. And he goes, okay, then send me your show reel. And they have one. Like he gets really frustrated when actors are like, I really want this is all I want to do. And he's like, right, let me give you a shot then. Okay, show me a show real. They go, oh, well, I haven't really got anything.
Well, you don't really want it, do you? because you've been mcking around all this time like when you could have just shot something and got it done. So, um yeah, as long as you've got the the stuff, the evidence you can act to back it up, reach out to Shaheen. She'd love to hear from you. She's ace. - Diane does say, "Slow though, I came on holiday last Friday and my agent emailed me with two police auditions. I had just updated my show real with a police scene, so it does work." - Surprise, surprise. Diane, honestly, we've been doing this for 20 years and there's, as I say, over 40. Let me tell you, actually, I'm going to give you a live a live update on how many actors we have coached in the act on this community over the last 15 years of running it. How many do you think it is, P? You know, roughly, but give a give an actual answer to the nearest one. - To the nearest one?
- Yeah, - I'd say 42,5. No. 42,268. - It's not bad, mate. You were almost spot on. 42,413 as of now. 42,413 members. Well, actors have come through some form of our coaching, whether that's um resources they've downloaded and been through, live streams, our membership, first of all, FastTrack. um when you when you have when you come across that volume of people doing this there are absolutely formulas and blueprints where you go right that plus that equals more success. I can't guarantee you an outcome, but I can definitely say this and this will equal this if you keep going. And that's exactly right, D. You know, you you shot material align with your casting type, you put it on your reel, u you sent it out to people, and surprise surprise, based off that material on your reel, they've gone, "Yeah, I can Dian's proved to me she'd be right for these kind of roles." Well, I'm going to cast a couple of these roles.
So, here I have a couple of auditions. It's it's honestly simple. People want to like sell you really complicated things. I know I'm here like going join the membership. Join first track. have products obviously to buy. But I think a lot of people try and sell you stuff to try and keep you in their thing for years because they want to over complicate it. It's not that complicated. Um when you break it down clinically as a business um it isn't, you know, and the the best result obviously that we want is, you know, I want you to jump in the act on this membership, become so successful, book all the roles that you need, you don't need it and you cancel. Um and I'm really happy with that because mission accomplished. Once you buy first CV roll, fast track, go through the program, book your first second CV ro and go, "Right, I've learned that I don't I don't I I don't need it now. Don't need anything else.
I'm I'm away." You know, that's that's the goal, not to keep you in the same acting class for 5 years taking your money every week. - Brilliant. Um, so Steve Kane, - yes, Steve, first TV roll fast tracker. Steve has said, "I've improved my spotlight and cut my show reel to 130. A few of my new Tony Blake head shots don't quite align with my casting." Northern working man. - Should I hide some or consider another shoot? - Oh, I'd need to see him. Steve, - if you go to our members area. - Ah, are they in there? - Uh, his spotlight is in our members area. - Right. Let me let me tell you, Steve, one second, mate.
Let me uh find this in in members area. Uh, - and while you're doing that, um, Jail Sen again, I'm sorry if I'm really butchering that name. So true. I really focused on the acting craft and being believable in my work. About to shoot some self tapes with Runatic shouting. I watch a ton of your videos on knowing your type and playing into it. That's what I'm talking about. Boom. Yeah. Well, absolutely. If uh yeah, is if you're shooting stuff that's really aligned with who you are, um you can't really go wrong. You're just being authentically you and you're absolutely going to book roles in this industry for who you are, not who you uh who you can be.
Steve, do you mind if I bring Well, it's tough, mate. I'm going to bring I'm going to bring you Spotlight up live for the world. But it's great. Steve knows what he's doing. He's booked some great jobs. He just needs to he just needs more more auditions now. Steve does. And we'll sort this out, Steve. We'll fine-tune all of this, mate. Right. Let me take us off camera so people on Instagram can see uh what we're doing. Uh we're down at the bottom.
There we go. Right. So Steo, let's have a look at your head shots there, mate. So yeah, Ste, so Steve's sort of casting type very much I would say Steve Salt of the Earth Grather. If I had to put you under a umbrella and this is what you'll find, right? You you will absolutely find and you should be able to do this. You should be able to define your casting type in my opinion anyway. It's just how I roll. uh under an an umbrella term and underneath that you know are going to be job t job types. Okay. So for me my umbrella would be uh clean court authority figures. Now underneath that in terms of job types that I would play on TV very often I am the policeman like I said the lawyer the businessman the doctor um anybody in a in a shirt and tie a lot of the time.
I'm certainly not the mechanic, the builder, the delivery driver, the prison guard. Um, I'm none of those kind of roles. Um, and then it's going right, well, how do I reflect that casting type authentically in my headsh shot? So, casters look at him and they they get what they see as opposed to me misselling myself, then going, "Oh, I'll give him an audition because he looks like a right badass." And then they they find me on camera and go, "Oh, I've been completely missold." So, Steve, I would I would label your umbrella term um as something like salt of the earth crafter. you know, you're a Boltonian fella. Um, you know, proper salt of the earth, you know, decent chap, you know, every man. Um, and we would have a look at these shots now and go, "Right, you know, are we seeing this in these shots?" So, this is a Tony Blake shot. This is a Tony Blake shot. So, that's sort of like slightly more uh uh what's more like a warmer, slightly smarter shot on it with the uh with the collar there. That's absolutely bloody Steve. Um, definitely um that's more of a 3D one. What was the What were the ones am I looking out for, Patch?
So, there's a couple that might not matter. - I'd say that they don't they are Steve, but they're not leaning into a specific - They're very generic, aren't they? - Yeah, that's that's that's the word. - So, yeah. So, so what I'm seeing here definitely, you know, we need one that's the everyman, Steve. One that's the workingclass, every man Boltonian, right? And I mean, that had passes that for me. This this guy here absolutely could be the dad, the delivery driver, he's the plumber, he's the um you know, is the is the working man, family guy who, you know, like in all of these shows if you're doing drama, you know, ends up in a bit of bother. He'll do anything to protect his family. Maybe he's getting extorted by somebody, he gets himself into trouble. He's not he's not a bad guy at all, but he ends up getting himself into trouble because he's trying to do something for the betterment of his family and boom, all the drama happens. This is what I'm seeing here.
It's a great commercial shot that as well, Steve. If you're playing dads and stuff on uh, you know, TV commercials, you know, you could literally be any every man in a TV commercial there. You could be selling, you know, life insurance um on the phone to someone ordering life insurance like you see on these adverts. Um, any of those kind of things. We car.com selling your car, you know. Um, it's a great commercial shot. So, there's there there's something I'm seeing something that there's something going on behind the eyes. The expression there, there's a nice connection with the camera. Um, that's a great shot. That's very similar. It's darker. There's a bit more sort of sort of going on there, but it's very similar.
Um, that's not really giving me much new information. You just look a bit sad, I suppose. It's it's Yes, you've got a shirt on, but it's not really leaning into any job role, is it? This is because it's so casual. This is just This might as well be a t-shirt. That's a little bit smarter, but not enough to be that different. This guy might be, you know, an area manager for a shop chain or something, but the facial expression is quite similar. That's really similar. The the bar the smiley one and that there's not an awful lot of new information leaning into any kind of job type, Steve. Um, I' I'd mind you having a tie on for that one. Still casual, you know, still doesn't have to be like, you know, you're not going to look like super super pined or anything. you know, still have the stubble or you know, still have the have the beard like that.
Um, but it's not far enough into kind of business world. Um, you know, workingass businessman Allan Sugar style. Um, as as as it would be if you had if you had a tie on there. It's it's quite generic. That's very generic. It's not really telling me anything. There's no there's nothing really I can perceive about you in that shot, Steve. um that would give me any information really of where I would place you in a show. It's so neutral. It's not really giving me any information. Whereas that and that - are that's giving me something. - When I went through Steve's spotlight because Steve put it into the uh our community hub, which absolutely everybody can do and we will go to and look at things and give you our advice.
I was looking at these and I'm going, there's nothing wrong with these head shot. - No. - As such, like they they're really really good. I can tell it's you. I know you authentically. It is you, but it's not telling me anything about you either. It is, like you say, they're just very generic. So, as a casting director, I would probably take one look at them and go, "Yeah, great head shot. - I don't know where to place. - Going to move on." Yeah. - Yeah. That this is really this this is a great example of of of a really lovely shot, Steve.
Great composition, well lit, nice connection with the camera, but it's so beige. Not I mean, obviously your jacket is beige, but in terms of like it's not giving me any info, whereas the that is that's that's more of personality that I think is one of your strongest head shots because there's something going on. There's more of an expression there that I can read into it. This is I I feel like trust in this guy. Like I say, this is this is the working-class dad, you know, the guy who really works hard for his family but might not always, you know, sort of like might not feel like he um he's ever doing quite enough. He's always trying to do more. Um I absolutely sort of really get a sense of where I put you there. You know, if I needed a mechanic, a delivery driver, a builder, you know, a tradesman, this is the guy here. That's that's a more interesting shot. I'm not exactly sure. We'd have to look at where where that would be placed. If you went back to the other one a second, mate, that one that's more No, - sorry.
It's all right. - Hang on. I'm clicking in the wrong places. Uh that one. - That one. That one is more cuz I've seen your show uh your show real as well and I don't know if you still have this scene on there, Steve. I hope you do. It's um the guy who gets kidnapped from on Coronation Street. - Well, that's what what who does? - Steve gets plays a character on Coronation Street where he gets kidnapped by Gary. Oh, and you're downstairs, Gary's in like a basement. Yes.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. - And that's the character that I see in that scene. - Trying to think what if I saw that without that that information though, where where I would place - the first scene on his show. - Oh. Oh, no. I get No, I get that. But without that info, like where if I just looking at the headsh shot, I'm thinking where would I where where would I put this person into a show? Um, I think sometimes, Steve, I I definitely think you absolutely we we lean into um more, you know, you could definitely be the working-class businessman, mate. You know, they come into like Coronation Street to do I I played a guy called Dave Dixon in Cory um who was a businessman who came he looks like he was going to try and buy the factory or something like that.
He definitely looked like the type who could be like, you know, an owner of the brewery or something, you know, like one of the reps from the brewery. I've done that as well. Those kind of characters. I'd like I'd want a tie on with this this this look here. Nice expression there as well. There's more going on behind the eyes there. Great connection. Just um I just I just have you more as like look, this is not halfway between casual and business. Let's just go business in this because we've got the other casual stuff. - Bringing it back to Steve's initial question. Should I hide some or should I consider another shoot? - Mate, I would go through first real fast track with us.
I know you're doing it. We will absolutely diagnose based off what you've already done and you know the other 30 most common kind of job roles within just within drama within TV drama and we'll absolutely decipher the three to five you fit like a glove and then you're going to go to your next shoot with Tony. We'll get him to do a deal for you as well because um because he does for our members. Um and you're going to get the five setups that will be a brilliant set of shots that are going to be completely aligned to your casting type, but they're varied enough within your range so that every single one gives a little bit more information about where someone could place you in the show and then by the time they get through all of them, they'll know exactly your type and where you fit. I think trying to like, you know, hide a couple and then get a couple more added or something, you know, you end up with just a mishmash patchwork quilt, mate. Um, there's nothing, like we say, there's nothing wrong with these, but you probably didn't go into the shoot articulating to Tony, listen, these are the five setups that I want. I want a shot that shows me as the working-class dad. I want a shot that shows me, you know, more in the um, you know, sort of like the middle management. That's what it is really. You know, middle management business. Um, you know, you could within within your range, you know, go slightly lighter, slightly darker as well. I'll look at that scene where you were kidnapped and what you're playing in there.
Um because we can we can go off what you've already been seen for in the industry because the casting have seen you for that stuff. They've obviously seen that you know that those role types within you uh or marry it all up mate and you'll end up with your best headshot shoot ever. And then after that you know if we can align that with material on your show reel you're just so easy to understand. If you didn't watch the session that we did this week with Tony Blake um let me just show people where that is. So, if you are a member of acts on this, if I just go back to the site, - just whilst you're bringing that up, Steve did say, "My old agent gave a lot of notes to Tony. They didn't help." - Oh, right. Okay. They've got to really know you as well, mate. We'll work with you. You know you better than you. Don't leave anything your agent. We'll we'll figure this out so that you you know you know exactly who you are.
Um, this is a fantastic session here. So, we only did this this week. It's called How to Get Headshots That Actually Land You Auditions with Top Headshot Photographer Tony Blake. And what we do in this um is I show you head shot. So, this is this is uh Chris Earl Jones, one of our members. He really is the bloke, the lad, the masculine man. Slightly um he's kind of um Oh, hang on. I don't if people will be able to see this on Instagram. I keep forgetting to put us down there. Um, Chris is definitely the uh, you know, the just the working class slightly could be intimidating bloke. Um, and we went through how Tony achieved that with him because Chris knew exactly what he wanted when he went into the shoot. He could articulate that to Tony and then we show him actually on Coronation Street here.
Oh, hang on. Where is it? Better won't be able to stop it. There he is. Playing that exact character. And we do it with multiple things. So, we play Ali. We show you Ali Milon here. She's another great uh actor and she plays always plays leans into the clean cut authority doctors uh medical stuff particularly medical look even with the blue top there leans into medical we show her in call the midwife she's made a career out of just basically playing you know medical um in the industry um we then did it for Marne Dugen who's just landed a film called extrography she's a younger actor so we showed you how you could decipher your casting type and um get that into head shot if you're younger and you don't necessarily fit into job roles as such um it's a banging session at the end of Tony does a great uh deal for members as well, just for members of acts on this. Um so go check that out. Um if people are struggling with head shot, it's worth its weight in gold. Um because you got to remember your headsh shot's the most important marketing material, piece of market material you have more more than your show reel because without it, you know, if it doesn't peak a cast's interest enough, they're not even going to get to watch your show reel.
They're out at your headshot. when they're looking at Spotlight and they're seeing rows of six little thumbnails. If you're not getting their attention with your headshot, they're just going, "No, no, no, no." So, um, so yeah, you want to um really focus on great headsh shots is very much the key to to everything really. Um, boom. I'm just seeing Left did ask, could we make that headshot bigger? Uh, no, cuz that was on the call, right? - Oh, yeah. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, no, we make it Yeah. when you wait you can make it the size of your screen. So that's the replay um in the members area. If you just press the full screen button you can make it 50 inches wide if you want Diane but that's in your members area.
So yeah you'll be able to watch the replay of that. That was just tiny on a screen because uh we were showing you the website but yeah you can make that as large as you like if you uh jump into the members area. Um amazing - said got a little recommendation. It would be fantastic if you could get Kate Caldwell from Suzanne Smith's office on act on this. She's lovely. I always get emails from her. I've reached out to her four times in the last two years. Always get a lovely response. I did a self tape workshop with her too. Um as they've been casting an Apple TV series, Silo for the last few years. Yeah. - Definitely be up for it as she does a few workshops which follows a Q&A with her afterwards.
- Leon, we can make it happen, mate. We can we can definitely make it happen. We got some great people coming up. So we So week after next, as I say, we've got Kate Rose James, three times Emmy nominated cast of of House of the Dragon. Week after that, we've got Sonia Allen and uh her associate Ila uh who have just cast ITV's brand new The Blame that comes out uh next week, I think, or the week after with Michelle Keegan. I think Douglas Booth is in it as well. And they just cast the split that I think comes out the same day. Um so they're that's going to be a banging session. We're going to be looking at, you know, their casting process, getting on their radar, sending your stuff over to them. Um so that's absolute uh cracker as well. So loads of stuff coming up. Get your bloody membership, folks.
Um, anything else, PC? - Uh, that name that I cannot pronounce. I'm sure it's J Sen. Uh, I've watched all your shorts with casting directors. Kelly Valent Kelly Valentine Henry is a good shout. I will give her a really good headsh shot and self tape. I'm glad she won't look down on me for not being on spotlight. - No, Kelly won't at all. And honestly, if you just watch the shorts that we've been putting out, it's so worth even if you just grab a month's membership. Um, you don't, you know, you can dip in and out. That's unless if you want to. I mean, when you when you get in, you probably want to stay to be honest with you.
But in the members area here, you know, if you got a membership, even for a month, if you just have a look at the features, I mean, you get access to nearly 100 past features. It's over 100 actually, isn't it? 11 112 uh past features. Um, plus a brand new one every single week. I mean, with agents, casting directors, actors, writers, producers, but there's absolutely incredible names. So, like Katherine Willis, one of the biggest comedy casting directors in the game. Same as Emma Garrett, Carlen Crawford, you know, BAF, the nominated TV and film casting director. Um, they're just absolutely amazing people who really want you to win. Kate Bow, Nina Gold's associate, Daniel Edwards, Line of Duty, casting out. So, there's the full session with Kelly Valenci Hendry. That was like an hour and 32 minutes on just getting on her radar for stuff like Bridgetton Gangs of London. Um, if you don't want to just spend years deciphering this industry and try to figure it out on your own, going, "How do I do?" - You put it the wrong place again, mate.
- Oh, have I? Um, let me It's bloody uh thingy. There you go. Um, you know, if you don't want to just spend all your time flailing and guessing, why don't you just come and learn from the people who can actually give you the jobs because we have them every single week. - I will sign up. - Get involved, honestly. And like I said, you don't have to be um you don't have to be a member for any length of time. We make it really flexible. I get it. I know what it's like being an actor, but um I just think it's a no-brainer. for the cost of a of a coffee a week. You get to come and hang out with the biggest names literally in the game and they will tell you how to write to them.
They will give you their email address. They will tell you exactly what they like, what they don't like, what they want to see, what they don't want to see, and they'll tell you what they're casting. Now, it's just a total no-brainer. So, yeah, come and uh come and get involved. But yeah, thanks for watching the shorts, though. We put out free content every single day on this channel um on all of our social media platforms as well. So, um you know, if you're not in the position to get a membership, I get it. That's absolutely fine. come and um you know just come and take in the free content until you till so you can that's absolutely absolutely bang on that's 5:00 boom right well I will just um for the final time just give a shout out because I want to plug first TV roll fast for people who might be on the fence so if you are an actor looking for your first TV roll or if you've got less than five credits on your spotlight and you don't have right now a repeatable strategy to land auditions and opportunities regularly if you don't have the confidence to really you know sort of create or you don't know if you've created good enough market material. You don't know whether your head shot are really authentically you. You don't know if your show real um you know is really selling you or you don't have any of those things yet. That's absolutely fine.
Um you know if uh you you ultimately really you know don't know where to start, you've been spinning your wheels for years or whatever um and just things aren't happening for you. This program is built for you. It's basically a 12 month um implementation program. If you go to act on this.tv/first, you can read all about it. doors are open um until this Friday, tomorrow um at midnight. I'll just go over and show you the page um and I'll show you a little bit about what you actually get in the program. - Yeah, I will do. One second. I'm just getting the the uh URL up and then I will put us down the bottom here. And so you can see on the uh on the page there, what is it? 1 day, 6 hours, and 56 minutes left to uh get off the fence and register if you want to. There's less than I think 20 places left as well.
We only take a 100 people into this a year. No more than that because we work with you very closely daily for 12 months. Um you can watch a video testimonial of so many actors who've been through the program. They'll tell you how they were struggling and then you'll see them on TV. Um so you can't really argue with that. The program does work if you put the work in. You have to do the work. You can't just buy the program or expect to be on telly. I will caveat that. But it's um ultimately it's 18 hours of video coaching pre-recorded. Yeah. Massive workbook that you get access to.
It's going to be 10 hours of live coaching across um October as well. Every Wednesday night, we're going to be diving into a module. There are five modules in this program, taking you through deciphering your casting type, figuring out which shows you're going to target, shooting material so that you know you're going to be to sell yourself well, getting emails bang on, secret software tools to um ensure your emails are really hitting the mark when you are sending them to these casting teams. We got a mindset module to just get people out of their own way. Incredible guest speaker sessions with top headshot photographer Tony Blake, who we mentioned today, top show producer Chris Stone, head of Holio's casting, Mr. Pete Hunt, one of the nicest, just most just bloody brilliant casting directors in the game. Um Dom Stevenson, great serial drama director for things like Coronation Street in Emmerdale. Um they're the live calls that we're doing um in October. 24/7 access to this little guy here who's amazing. Role we call him. He's our AI assistant trained on every single word of this program. If you need emails writing, he will help you.
If you need self tape scripts writing, he will do it for you. Um he can get your answers within seconds. If you're stuck on anything, there's over well over 1,300 quid of the bonuses. 12 month support inside our Facebook group. Um so you get daily support. Um ultimate contacts database. Every single casting director, casting assistant and casting associates email address in the country uh in TV that is um an audition uh advantage toolkit we call it. Six hours of audition training with uh Holly Oaks director and onset acting coach David Crowley. Um six of our acts on this calls that are six of the best we've done in the last year that will align themselves with this program. a full day in person with us later this year in Media City UK working on self tapes. Uh it's a self tape mastery day. Um go taking you through all of the tech.
So cameras, lighting, how to light your tapes, how to mic your tapes, getting audio right, um editing, color grading. Um if you think, you know, are my takes good enough? At the end of this day, they will be. Um and then you can look at loads of testimonials from people that say all of the individual ones. So, these are all the stories of these people who came to the program, you know, sometimes clueless with nothing and then ended up landing their first, second, third, even fourth TV role. There's just countless evidence. Uh the program is not cheap. It's not, you know, it's um it's certainly uh a little chunk of change. It's 997 quid. There are payment plans available. There's a six-mon payment plan, 12-month payment plan. So, you can get started literally straight away um for 99 quid there.
Uh but it is just for people who really want to commit. You know, it's a 12 month commitment. It's not something that you just do in a weekend and go there you go. Um you'll be working through this with another at least 80 other actors right now more if uh more people sign up. Um and us every single day for the next 12 months to make it happen. But obviously we need that commitment from you as well. But if you want to find out more yeah actton.tv/first. You got 1day 6 hours 52 minutes and 50 seconds. Anything bench? - Uh yeah I'm just going to read this question out from Matty Jen first. Matty Jen says afternoon gents. Lovely to see you both.
What's Matt Eaggan? - Yeah, - Matty Jen. [laughter] - He's put it all together. It's Matty Jen. Sorry, Matt Eaggan. Afternoon, gents. Lovely to see you both. What's the requirements for attendance? I'm going to be midmove back to Manchester in November and December. So, I don't want to end up missing out on any of the live workshops. Right. So, a brilliant question.
So, you'll see on this page, Matt, you'll see halfway down the page about the live course. The beautiful thing is the 18 hours of video that's already in the members area. It's pre-recorded. It's already there. You can go through that in your own time. That's why we give you 12 months. It's really sort of like, you know, do it in your own time, get support every step of the way, you know, when you need it. But you'll see here, um, you get five 2our live Zoom sessions. Um, and they are starting on the 30th um, of September, Wednesday nights for five weeks. Uh, they are all recorded. You can submit questions beforehand. Uh, but that's just October.
So, it finishes by the end of October. So, if you're moving in November and December, you're totally fine. If you are moving to Manchester, though, the great thing is is the media city day will be the end of the year. Um, so you'll already be in Manchester for that. We've not got a date on this yet. Um, it'll be we'll probably give people an option of two dates. Um, but it'll be in Manchester at Media City and that'll be the end of this year or early January. Um, you know, once people have had time to actually go through, you know, the modules in the program and, uh, you know, get themselves to a point where they might be filming self tapes as show real material, you know, to actually uh, send out. But that'll be a buzzing day. Um there's a full inerson day with Pet and I. Uh but everything's recorded, Matt. So if I take you into the members area, uh if I just go to the homepage, um it's really well laid out.
We've thought this we've thought this through, Matt. So um you get instant access today to this. This is the dashboard. So you would start with a welcome video, join the Facebook group, download your workbook, download the iPhone app or your Android app. There's the bonus call schedule for um for October. And then you start the introduction. And then you've got all the core modules here. Module one, module two, module 3. Module four is broken down into three videos. Module five, uh, quickfire Q&A. We recorded it in front of a live audience. So, this all the Q&A that they they wanted.
So, um, you get access to questions that you probably would have, you know, you'd need answering straight away. They're already there. Then you got the live calls. Um, obviously for um, extra Q&A. These are the guest speaker sessions here with those guests that you saw. You got an action plan session. Rolley is our AI assistant. I'll show you him down here in a second. Um, then you've got tutorials for all of the tech that I don't can't really show you. Um, it's secret. Um, you've got our Ultimate Contacts database. This is the Audition Advantage toolkit.
Um, and then on the next page, you've got, um, yeah, six of our best uh of our best calls that align with this program that are there, plus all the live coaching, the inerson day. Um, so it's not something that you just, uh, take, you know, in in one sitting. It will take you a long time. And then this little guy here, Rolley, is amazing. You can see here he's helping me write a self tape scene before. Um, he will write bespoke self tape scenes based exactly on the strategies within this program for you to film. If you were struggling uh, you know, to write a, uh, a scene, you could go, uh, let's do it dead quick, patch. Hey, Roly. I'd like to talk to him like he's a real person. Um, I'd like to shoot a GP scene. I'm mid 40s warm. Uh, compassionate male.
Uh, could you help me? Oh, could you help me? Uh, what should we say? come up with five scenarios to choose from for my tape slashcripts. Can't type, mate. Script. And then what he's going to do because he's trained on every single word of this program. Absolutely. Warm, compassionate male GP in his mid-40s is a strong, believable day player type. For the tape, you want calm authority, clear listening, and a moment where the patient situation shifts under your feet. That's exactly what you want. Here are five grounded two hand GP scenarios from module 3.
What to shoot? So, the carer who won't ask for help. Uh the teen who wants a sick note, the man who keeps missing appointments. The new mom who says she's fine, but obviously she's not. So, a new mom brings her baby in for a minor rash, but you notice she's exhausted, detached, and struggling to cope. Um you your play, keep the focus respectful and unarming. Create enough safety for her to admit she's has had a frightening thought the night before. Oh, I'm in the drama. And then what you could do, uh, you got the patient asking for stronger painkillers. Oh, that's a good one. A familiar patient demands another prescription after a back injury. You suspect their medication use is becoming unsafe, but they feel accused and betrayed.
What a great There's a really great scenarios for tapes. Now, normally for you to come up with that would take you hours. I just go uh let's write five. Uh, as in as in number five. Better just say number five. So, I don't mean five scripts. Let's write number five. Ro is going to write that for you instantly. Give you a really compelling self tape script that you could film within the next hour that you could get out. So, interior GP surgery consultation. I'll be playing Dr. Simon Reeves mid-40s, Mark Dunn, late 30s.
If I wanted to, I could say, you know, you change Mark to a female, so we're not in the same same bracket. Mark sits rigidly on the edge of the chair. Simon studies the screen then turns from it. And then there, as you'll see in there, it'll tell us at the bottom. It's still writing it, but it should tell us the word count. We're aiming between three and 400 words for it to be a minute to 90 seconds roughly. sort of 18 turns in terms of like between me and me and them. And there you go. Look at that. 18 dialogue turns. Bang on. 344 words.
Can't beat it, man. You cannot beat it. You got access to that 24/7. I could then ask it for the casting team for Holly Oaks and it would give me the casting team. It give me their email addresses. I'm not going to do that live, obviously. Um, and then it could help me write an email to send that tape to them once I've recorded it. Um, so basically, I mean, I just can't do any more for you if you just get involved in the program and actually do as you're told. Um, good things will happen. I can't guarantee you anything, obviously, because I'm not allowed to do that cuz - Just do what you bloody told, will you? - Just do what you bloody told and, um, get involved if you want to, but yeah, act on this.tv/first. Um, would love to work with people over the next 12 months if you feel the program is right for you and you are ready to go all in.
It's not for dabblers. It's for people who actually want to put the work in and um, and get working. Any more petrol or should we wrap it up? - No, that is everything. - That is all. Just checking here if I've uh seen anything on the gram. No, that - already loaded up there. Everything Everything's been covered. - Boom. Well, thanks for watching. If you're watching on the replay and you've got any questions about First Real Fast Track, you're on the fence, anything at all, just email me rossaconist.tv. You got until tomorrow night, Friday the 11th September at midnight.
After that, it is over. Don't ask me, please. uh after that don't say oh you know when I close the doors because we will um please don't email me because it happens every single year and people are like oh my god I'm sorry I missed it like deadlines are actually deadlines and I'm one of these people who like look if I put a deadline on it and then I go back on it you're not going to believe me the next time I do a deadline so without sounding like an absolute stern git if you're not in by midnight you're not coming in this year you will have to wait till 2027 I'm sorry even you know I know it's it's money and people like no but it's extra money I'll pay it nope not interested I I just want people who are committed and um and know what it is that they want. - That's the thing though as well, right? Next year probably going up in price. - Um it well I mean yeah it will do because because we're going to add even more stuff between now and then. But um the other thing as well is like depending on on the direction we go with a lot of other training that we're planning per I don't even know if we're going to be able to do it. Um so this might be the genuinely this I don't know this could be the could be like the last time we do it for a few years. So um so yeah don't don't muck around if you are ready. Let's go and let's um let's work hard in 26 27. Right. Well, love to you all.
Appreciate you being here. Really do. And I say Ross actton.tv. If you got any questions, drop me an email. Leave a comment here or something like that. DM me. Um find me, track me down. I'm all over all over social media. So yeah, drop me a message somewhere. But Rossactonist.tv is the best place. That's my direct email address. Right.
Per cheers for being here, mate. Oh, should we post some testimonials from people who've done the program? Let's end on that. - Yeah, why not? - Right. These are people who see if you resonate with these people and where they were at before they did the program. I'm going to play this out. This is uh the story of lots of of our past students who were stuck and then you're going to see them on screen. So um yeah, if you want to get involved at.tv/first and we'll see you on the next live stream. Until then, PC 3 2 1. - Bye bye for now. - I think that was almost in time.
See you later folks. - [music] - I had been in the industry for about seven years. I hadn't had any self tape auditions for anything. No television roles. - I came to the acting party quite late. So I I was quite naive. Didn't know anything [music] about anything really. - I was doing loads of workshops in person and online. And I just wasn't getting auditions, self tapes. Hadn't had a TV casting in 24 years. Graduated in 1999. - I was struggling to get an agent.
Didn't know how to contact casting directors. done [music] theater all my all my career. Um, so I was a bit clueless. - I was scared of the industry. I didn't know where to start. - I wasn't really getting seen. I didn't know what my casting type was and I didn't know what I could do to change things. [music] - I've been lucky enough to be in Goed, which was nominated for a BAFTA [music] in the first season, and I'm playing a casting director called Jensen, which is ironic after not being seen by TV casting directors for 24 years. Um, I've also done The Bay for ITV uh in the fifth series and I'm playing Johnny Chips Rafity, a kind of naughty neighbor and I'm playing opposite Andrew Dowigan. And I've also done Coronation Street uh with a lovely little scene opposite Gareth Pierce in the hotel. Uh so that was really fun. [music] And I've also got a new series coming out for Netflix.
It's a miniseries called The Witness. I actually got my first TV role u without an agent at the time. So it was Channel 4's Generation Zed and I was playing PC Collins. I was on set with Robert Lindsay and Robert James Cullier and amazing other people. It was an incredible day. The most obvious and biggest result that I've got is getting a part in Emmerdale. So I auditioned for three different roles and ended up getting the biggest one which was a social worker Beth White. Even kicked off the episode. I filmed opposite Joanna Lumley and Michelle Keegan on Netflix's For Me Once. - I've booked a role in Casualty and well, it's actually aired um two [music] um two episodes, a recurring character Dr. Pria Roland and I had some great scenes um with Stevie Nash played by Ellie Lawless. Um so that's been a fantastic experience.
- I got a job on Holly Oaks and I played a stalker to Maxine. That was an award-winning story line called The Long Walk Home. Since then, I got a job on Emmerdale. I played a police officer arresting Kane Dingle which it was g me loads of experience. So they made me feel really welcome part of the family and then since then I've signed with an agent and my career just went up and up and up. I've had a first TV role that's then led to further TV roles um and a film job. It led to my first TV role on Coronation Street, which was really great experience. Um, being on the cobbles, seeing the set on an episode of series I'd watched for many years. I landed my first TV role. It was two episodes of Emmaale playing against Jay Sharma played by Chris Bisson. - My first ever TV role being a straight offer for two episodes of Coronation Street. I got to play a court clerk which brought to the end a really big court drama case which was very exciting.
I was lucky enough to get my first TV role on BBC's Casualty. It was the show's first ever improvised episode which went on to win a BAFTA. Now I got my second TV credit, my second guest lead in the good murder working with Steve Hughes [music] playing Bernie Campbell. - I got my first job in Emodel. It was such an amazing experience like seeing the set. It was it was so much bigger than you think it would be. It was amazing. Everyone was really nice and it was just good to finally be on set and everything that I worked towards it. It finally paired off. - I've just landed two episodes on the bay um playing a character called Susie Fairhead. I've been to my costume fitting today which was really exciting. The whole team are really lovely.
I've got two days filming coming up and I can't wait and can't wait for everyone to see it. - [music] - The amount you're spending on this, you can potentially make back with one TV role. - You have to invest in yourself as a business. - I probably tripled or quadrupled my my investment. - I recouped all the money plus more from that one job on Emmerdale. - I've probably made more than 10 times what the program cost me originally. - I have tripled uh in my pay for this one job what I paid for the program. I got the money back instantly just by doing one one ro one little role in in a TV show. So, I mean, I can't complain really. - Stop procrastinating like I did for many months, many years and just do it. Give it a go. - This is a way that you can take action and you can definitely see results.
- Just go for it. Press the button and it'll be the best thing you've ever done. - If you are ready to take your career seriously and commit, then this course is going to give you everything that you need to get there. So, go do it. OKAY. [music] AH. [music]
