'Table Talk' is BACK for the 3rd time in 2026 - and we can't believe how fast the year is flying by!
In these episodes, we cover some hot and potentially controversial topics HEAD-ON!
Please know that any advice/ opinions given, come from a POSITIVE place and are meant with love.
During this podcast, we discuss:
- Why trying to make EVERYTHING in your acting career perfect could actually be the thing holding you back.
- The "8 out of 10" rule - and why consistent, imperfect action will beat waiting for perfection EVERY time.
- How to recognise when preparation and optimisation have secretly turned into procrastination.
- Why actors keep asking questions they already know the answers to - and what might REALLY be stopping them taking action.
- How to make confident career decisions when there ISN'T a definitive right answer.
- Why failure is simply feedback - and how putting your work into the market is the fastest way to discover what actually works.
- How much should you REALLY spend on your self-tape setup - and have actors accidentally created a self-tape "arms race"?
- Where production value should end and PERFORMANCE must take over.
- Why you should NEVER blindly follow one casting director, agent or acting coach's advice - even when they're incredibly successful.
- How to decide WHO you should actually listen to when the acting industry is full of conflicting advice.
- The rise of vertical drama - and why actors who dismiss this rapidly growing format could be missing a HUGE opportunity.
- Whether an agent can be brilliant at getting you auditions... but STILL be a bad agent for you.
- Why communication is EVERYTHING in the actor-agent relationship - and the difference between poor treatment and simply hearing a hard truth.
- The REAL cost of building an acting career - from money and relationships to free time, sacrifice and the uncertainty that comes with pursuing something exceptional.
- What UK actors can learn from the way American actors approach self-development, confidence and treating their careers like a business.
- Why knowing your worth - and being willing to put your acting ability out there without apologising for it - can completely change how you approach the industry.
- How complacency can quietly kill momentum after you finally book a TV role - and why you must keep doing the work that got you there.
- Why the small actions you take EVERY DAY could completely change where your acting career is by Christmas.
- What actors are massively OVERTHINKING in 2026 - and what they're not worrying about nearly enough.
- Why caring less about what other people think could be one of the most liberating things you ever do for your acting career AND your life.
- Harry Potter, LEGO, ice hockey, turning 44, solo travel, money, relationships, divorce... and a very honest reminder that time is moving MUCH faster than any of us realise!
- An exciting update on 'Cassie' - and how existing Act On This members will get access to our upcoming AI acting career coach as part of their current membership.
- PLUS... the return of the Act On This VLOG after SEVEN YEARS!
- And MUCH MUCH more!
