What do you do when your agent drops you?
And more importantly... how do you come back stronger, clearer, and more in control of your acting career than before?

In this episode of a leading acting podcast for UK, US, Australian and European actors, I’m talking directly to actors who’ve been dropped by an agent (or fear it might happen) and feel shaken, rejected, or unsure of their next move.

Being let go by an agent can trigger self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and a spiral of questions:

• Was I not good enough?
• Did I do something wrong?
• Have I ruined my chances?

In this episode, I break down:

💣 Why being dropped by an agent is not a verdict on your talent

💣 How to process the disappointment without letting it derail your momentum

💣 What this experience can teach you about choosing the right agent next time

💣 How to define healthy boundaries with agents

💣 Why agents should never be put on a pedestal - and what a professional actor-agent relationship actually looks like

💣Practical next steps to get back out there with clarity and confidence

This episode is for early-career and working actors who want grounded advice, industry perspective and reassurance without toxic positivity or false promises.

If you’re looking for an acting podcast that talks honestly about the business of acting, career setbacks, agents, mindset, and how to move forward strategically, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

You are not behind.
You are not broken.
And this is not the end of your career. It’s a recalibration.

🎧 Press play if you want to feel steadier, clearer, and ready to take your next step as a professional actor.
