Don’t Think, Act! is a podcast for actors by actors where they can have free exposure talking about their craft, inspirations and acting goals! Let's get the business to know you better.
Inspired by Inside The Actor's Studio & Actors on Actors I’m keen to create a resource for performers of all levels, to learn from actors of all levels.
The business changes all the time and I think it would be great to have peers talking about their feelings; methods; offer inspiration on coping in a competitive field, and how they prepare for their craft.
I’m fascinated as to why we do what we do, and how we can help each other on our journeys.
I also love a cringe worthy audition story!
If you're an actor, and love talking creativity, I’d be honoured to have you take part:

It’s All About The Journey!
For the first time, I interview 2 creatives, 1 of which is a returning interviewee, Lee Hutchings. He is joined by Aaron Wayne as they represent the London Creative Artists Network, a creative community that is growing in London.
We look at the importance of networking; the decline of quality in film, as quantity and profit margins are being put first in cinema; A.I. and it’s future, and so much more!

33: Lily Streames - Don't Think, Act! - 10.11.25
Oh My God, I'm God!
Lily Streames is an actor, writer and producer from Essex, and this year, was one of the directors of the Essex International Film Festival.
She started performing young, charging her family to watch her perform from a very early age, from their home!
We talk about what it's like growing up with her Dad being an actor; acting on screen in a comedy and why Kristen Wiiig is a genius.
We also ponder if social media has helped the acting industry?
