If you’re an actor who:

• rewrites them again and again
• worries about sounding pushy, cringe, or “too much”
• wonders if casting directors even read them

This episode is for you.
In this podcast, acting coach Louise breaks down a simple, practical cover letter tip used by professional copywriters that can make casting directors and agents more likely to read your email to the end, without changing a single word you write. WOOOHOOO!

You’ll learn:

• why most acting cover letters get skimmed or deleted
• how casting directors actually read emails
• the one easy formatting tweak actors are never taught
• how to stop procrastinating over cover letters

This episode is perfect for: actors, performers, drama school graduates, early-career actors, and anyone trying to get more auditions, agents and acting work.
