Juliet Charlesworth is one of the most successful TV producers in the industry, having produced some of the biggest shows to grace our screens.
Her credits include the BAFTA-winning Happy Valley, Sky's comedy crown jewel Brassic, Harlan Coben's Netflix smash Stay Close, ITV's Ridley, After The Flood, and Dalziel & Pascoe.
In this 2 HOUR member-only mastermind, we unpack the roles & responsibilities of a top TV producer, dive deep into Juliet's casting process and how she actively works with casting to find fresh talent for every project, reveal exactly what makes a self-tape or in-person audition stand out for a producer - and what gets overlooked - and members of Act On This jump on camera for some 1-2-1 coaching too!
During the broadcast, we discuss:
- The most underrated skill that separates working actors from struggling ones.

- Being thrown into the deep end producing the smash-hit drama 'Clocking Off' - and what it taught her about leadership under pressure.

- The little-known traits that can absolutely make or break an actor’s long-term success.
