BAFTA-nominated actress Ruth Madeley has built one of the most inspiring careers in British television, starring in acclaimed productions including Doctor Who, Years And Years, The Rook, The Cleaner, Nightsleeper, Renegade Nell and brand-new BBC thriller The Rapture - with a major role opposite Mark Ruffalo in Apple TV+'s upcoming Being Huemann still to come.

In this 2.5 HOUR member-only mastermind, Ruth reveals the habits and mindset behind her success, explains how to stay motivated through rejection and uncertainty, shares practical strategies for creating opportunities instead of waiting for them - and Act On This members jump on camera for some 1-2-1 coaching too!

During the broadcast, we discuss:

  • How to keep your confidence alive when auditions completely dry up.
  • Why creating opportunities will always beat waiting for the phone to ring.
  • The mindset shift that makes rejection far easier to deal with.
  • How Ruth has learnt to silence self-doubt - even after landing huge TV roles.
  • The practical way to build genuine industry relationships without feeling "salesy".
  • How to make yourself memorable to casting directors and creative teams for all the right reasons.
  • What Ruth wishes every actor understood about building a sustainable career.
  • How to stay motivated when everyone else seems to be booking work except you.
  • Why comparison is one of the fastest ways to derail your acting career - and what to do instead.
  • What becoming an Executive Producer on 'The Rapture' taught Ruth about the television industry beyond acting.
  • What it was like filming Apple TV+'s 'Being Huemann' alongside Mark Ruffalo - and what actors can learn from working at that level.
  • Why every set, every job and every person you meet can shape your future career.
  • How to stop chasing perfection and start giving more honest, authentic performances.
  • The qualities that make directors and producers genuinely want to work with actors again.
  • Ruth's advice for actors navigating the industry with a disability - and why the landscape is finally beginning to change.
  • Adapting your performances for screen - when you come from a theatre background.
  • The ONE thing Ruth wants EVERY actor to know.
  • And MUCH MUCH more!
