Stop Networking - Start Connecting: What Every Actor Needs To Know

Okay—real talk. How many times have you been told, 'You’ve gotta network!'... and immediately felt your soul leave your body?

I know it’s not just me, because some of you responded on our TikTok and Instagram pages that you feel the same way.

Whether you're on set, in the rehearsal room, or grabbing a drink after class—there’s this pressure, this low-key panic that says, 'Be likable. Be remembered. Make a connection!'

But here’s the thing: most of us are going about it totally wrong.

Networking doesn’t have to be awkward, fake, or cringe. In fact, if it feels like networking… you’re probably not doing it right.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script. We are sharing real, honest ways to connect—with casting, crew, directors, even other actors—without ever feeling like you’re selling yourself.

This is for the actor who wants real relationships, not just contacts in their phone.
