I’d like to mention at the start of this post that I began writing this just a few months back right before the holidays and then never posted it… I wrote: “This week is not a great week. This is one of those actor weeks where you’re waiting on pay and you’re stressed out; you can’t book a […]

I had the most wonderful headshot session this year with a woman I have recommended to about a 1000 actors over the years. This is the second time I’ve booked in with her! Her name is Jennie Scott and she is a London based headshot photographer. And no, she doesn’t give me commission for telling […]
When he was under one, and even to this day, I would spend a lot of time in cafes…have done since he arrived. At 10-12 months he was usually jumping all over me, giving neighbouring customers flirty eyes with his wicked baby smile, and generally being crazy. He’s a baby. It’s cool. That’s what babies do. […]
Yes we know that studying acting around our busy schedules, voiceovers, auditions, rehearsals, networking, coffees and those dreaded other jobs makes it a challenge. And it can be even harder to keep to a weekly schedule on a set day of the week – it means we often miss out on things, and have to say no […]
I always wanted to be Wonder Woman growing up. It’s no secret. All of my mates are aware that I own the costume, and some of my friends have even let me dress as Wonder Woman for parties when it didn’t even fit the ‘dress up theme’ (thanks Sarah!).

This is something really different…let’s talk moolah. This is really different to my usual chat, but still very much about mindset. But this time it’s about money and our mindset around that. I often think that when people think of creatives, especially actors or musicians, they automatically think of desolate hobos walking the streets, busking […]
Every month I work with actors all over the planet – true story! I’ve got clients in Europe, LA, Australia, London, up north, and have even worked with peeps as far away as Malaysia (well okay that’s nearly as far away from London as Australia but not quite). I get pretty excited every single time […]
I don’t want to alarm anyone but we only have a few more sleeps until Christmas….are you ready? Presents bought? Agent and Casting Director thank you’s sent? I am sitting in a cafe right now and Under the Boardwalk is playing. It’s reminding me of misspent youth, of days in the sun riding my bike through pineapple fields, […]
Last month I was delighted to share my insights on Voiceovers in my first ever Backstage article. When Backstage invited me to become a guest expert I was absolutely thrilled. I’ll be honest… I have hoped to be a writer on Backstage since I first started writing B.A.B.E. (and that was a long time ago […]
Happy birthday to us! This week B.A.B.E. turned 8 years old and we are thrilled to bits. Eight grand old years of helping actors, of finding awesome content for actors to be better at their acting jobs, of mentoring actors and helping them get closer to their dreams, and of just generally being the go-to […]
