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.

🎙️ Land Your First TV Role: The Steps Most Actors Miss
If you’re an early-career actor doing all the right things: training, applying, staying motivated... but your career has stalled, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Unstoppable Actors, I break down what actually gets actors cast in their first TV role, and why talent alone isn’t enough.

Most actors are taught how to act.
Very few are taught how the industry decides who gets seen, called in and cast.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why guessing your casting type keeps you invisible — and how to recognise the patterns already shaping your career
• The difference between “working hard” and being placeable in the eyes of casting directors
• Why most actors struggle to articulate what makes them distinctive — even when they’re genuinely compelling
• How headshots, credits, and choices quietly tell the industry who you are (whether you realise it or not)
• The strategic steps that lead from student films → indie work → walk-on TV roles (without throwing spaghetti at the wall)

This isn’t about shortcuts or hype.
It’s about clarity, positioning, and understanding how casting actually works — especially in the UK industry.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Why am I not getting called in?
• Why do others book roles faster than me?
• What am I missing that no one explains?

This episode will help you see your career (and yourself as an actor) differently.

🎭 Perfect for:

• New and early-career actors
• Actors looking to book their first TV credit
• Actors stuck despite strong training and motivation
• Anyone searching for an honest, practical acting career podcast

🎭 The 3 Secrets Early-Career Actors Miss That Keep Them Out of Casting Rooms

A practical acting podcast episode for actors in the UK, US, Europe and beyond.

If you’re an actor who’s training, auditioning, and doing “all the right things”, but still not getting called in, this episode of The Unstoppable Actor’s Podcast is for you.

This is a no-fluff acting podcast for early-career and emerging actors who want to understand what actually separates actors who get seen from those who stay stuck.

In this episode, Method Acting coach Louise breaks down three critical mistakes she sees actors make mistakes that quietly block casting opportunities in film, TV, theatre, and self-tape auditions.

🗝️ What you’ll learn in this acting podcast episode:

1️⃣ Why most actors only scratch the surface of the character
Great acting isn’t about playing emotions, it’s about questioning behaviour, language, subtext, and relationships.

You’ll learn why curiosity creates connection, and how judgement disconnects you from truthful, compelling performances casting directors respond to.

2️⃣ How the industry really sees you (and why your casting type matters)
If you keep auditioning for the same roles and hitting brick walls, this is a clue — not a failure.
We explore how casting type shows up in your headshots, CV, showreel, credits, and even your social media, and how casting directors subconsciously read this information.

3️⃣The daily craft habit working actors never skip
Consistency beats talent.

You’ll hear why relaxation work is the foundation of Method Acting — and why students on the 10-Week Method Acting Programme practise it daily, even when no one is watching.

🌟 Bonus: Why self-trust is the real career accelerator

You can train, network, and audition, but without self-trust, self-doubt will always take over.

Louise explains what self-trust actually is, how it’s built, and how it transformed one of her students, Ben, whose journey took him from UK television to being cast in a Hollywood film directed by Justin Lin (Fast & Furious).

🎧 This acting podcast is for you if you:

• Are an early-career or emerging actor in the UK, US, Europe and beyond
• Struggle with nerves, confidence, or overthinking
• Want casting directors to believe in you
• Are serious about developing your craft and career

Stop Wasting Time in 2026: The Method Actor’s Approach to Landing More Roles

If you’re honest with yourself, you don’t need more motivation in 2026.
You need direction, precision, and craft that actually moves the needle.

Most actors waste time without realising it - setting goals that sound good, waiting for confidence to arrive, or mistaking busyness for progress. And by the time casting season hits, they’re scrambling… again.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why traditional goal-setting fails actors - and the Method-based shift that turns intention into momentum
• The quiet difference between actors who stay “nearly ready” and those who consistently get recalled
• Two Method Acting exercises you should already have in your toolkit if you want your next performance to feel grounded, specific, and alive
• How to build confidence through practice, not positive thinking
• What to focus on now so 2026 doesn’t become another year of almosts

This isn’t about hustling harder or forcing your way in.
It’s about refining your craft so your work does the talking - and casting directors can feel it immediately.

If you want 2026 to be the year you stop circling and start landing, this episode will show you where to focus.

🎭 Ready to stop defaulting to “you” and start becoming the character? The Step Into Character Challenge helps you do exactly that... 4 weekly challenges, done in your own time, with my feedback throughout. ACCESS THEM HERE

One of the biggest reasons actors don’t book isn’t lack of talent, it’s that they’re unknowingly playing themselves. The voice stays the same. The energy stays the same. The choices feel familiar… and casting directors feel it immediately.

In this episode, we dive into the invisible habits that keep actors stuck on the surface of a role - overthinking, self-monitoring, and playing what feels “safe.” I’ll show you how to unlock the character’s choices instead, so your performances feel specific, alive, and rooted in something deeper than your own instincts.

If you’ve ever walked out of an audition thinking “I didn’t quite disappear into that”, this episode will hit home. This is about moving out of your head, into your body, and into the character; without forcing it or performing at the idea of acting.

This episode is a must-listen for actors who want to stop blending in and start becoming unrecognisable on screen and stage.
