It's hard truth time (or reassuring time depending which way you look at it): you will never, ever feel ready to get an acting agent. And that's not a problem, it's a powerful opportunity.

In this episode, I'll share why "waiting till you're ready" is one of the biggest fear stories keeping actors stuck, and how to flip that mindset into momentum.

You'll hear about:

🎬 The student who practiced 5 hours per day before an auditon - and what we leared from refining that approach

🎬 The difference between polishing your craft and over-preapring out of fear.

🎬 Why knowing whether you're a head or heart actor can make or break your agent auditions

🎬 The real criteria agents look for (hint: it's not a CV with a gazillion credits).

By the end, you'll understand why not "feeling ready" is actually a sign you're in the right place to leap your acting career forwards.
