134 | Actors The “Training vs Networking” Debate Is a Scam
Join the Side Door Challenge ➡ https://go.act-bold.com/sdc-yt (https://act-bold.com/sdc)
How to build connections as an actor without networking events or taking another acting workshop or class. Acting career strategy that actually pays you.
Actors The “Training vs Networking” Debate Is a Scam
Actors keep asking whether they should spend money on training or networking and it keeps them stuck. This video breaks down why that question is the problem and what to do instead. You will see how to build connections as an actor while getting the training you actually need, at the same time, without waiting around to be chosen. I walk through the curator method, the S.I.C.K. factor, and a real example of how one actor built relationships with people who could hire her and created momentum in her local market.
In this video, you'll learn:
How to build connections as an actor without mixers or cold networking
An acting career strategy that builds skills and relationships at the same time
How to figure out what is actually keeping your acting career stuck
How to create a paid workshop that covers your training and builds real connections
How a small group of actors can create opportunities instead of waiting for them

133 | Actors Tired of Waiting? Here's what you actually have control over!
Take the Actor Career DNA Decoder ➡ https://act-bold.com/dna-decoder (https://act-bold.com/dna-decoder)
You've got the training. You've got the talent. But somewhere between you and the people who actually hire actors, there's a gap. And most of what you've been told about how to close it isn't working. In this episode, I sat down with actor and coach Corrie Legge to talk about what actors actually control in their careers and what they've been handing over to outdated rules and other people's opinions. We got into how to build your own proof when nobody's giving you the chance, why real relationships matter more than "networking," and what it looks like to treat your acting career like a business without losing the reason you got into this in the first place. If you're a trained actor who's doing the work but not getting in the room, this one's going to hit different.
