The Actor’s Waiting Room
Grace has had it rough. She’s spent thousands on training and years in customer service. Like most actors her life is a perpetual cycle of waiting. Join Grace as she tries to uncover the mysteries of the industry and why she isn’t famous yet. Some may call this investigative journalism, others may call it a waste of breath. But who can blame her, she’s just trying to pass the time, while she sits in the waiting room.
The Actor’s Waiting Room
S2. Ep 7. Do you have to live in London to be a successful creative?
It's my first solo episode!
I have lived in London for eight glorious years. Three of those were spent in West London (Ealing) when I was at drama school and the other five have been in North London. I was told that I had to stay in London to be able to survive this crazy industry and 'Make it.'
In this episode I am going to go through all the pros and cons of living in London to see if this is the only place you can be a successful creative.
