3 Words to Leave Out of Cover Letters That Will Please Casting Directors

If you’ve ever stared at a blank cover letter thinking,
“I don’t know what to say”
or “What do other actors write that actually gets read?” - this episode is for you.

In this podcast, I’m breaking down one of the most common mistakes new and early-career actors make in cover letters - and why it’s quietly holding you back from auditions, meetings, and opportunities.

You’ll discover:

• The certain words casting directors expect (and therefore ignore)
• How cover letters become harder when you put casting on a pedestal
• The simple mindset shift that turns cover letters from a chore into a tool
• How to paint a picture of who you are as an actor without overselling or cringing
• Why storytelling beats adjectives every single time

This episode is for actors who:

• Love the craft but hate “selling themselves”
• Feel unsure what value they bring to a casting director
• Want more auditions, better roles, and clearer traction in their career
• Are ready to stop overthinking cover letters and start using them strategically

Cover letters don’t have to be long, clever, or perfect.
They just need to do one thing well - and once you understand that, everything gets easier.

If booking more auditions and roles in 2026 matters to you, this episode is a must-listen.

What do you do when your agent drops you?
And more importantly... how do you come back stronger, clearer, and more in control of your acting career than before?

In this episode of a leading acting podcast for UK, US, Australian and European actors, I’m talking directly to actors who’ve been dropped by an agent (or fear it might happen) and feel shaken, rejected, or unsure of their next move.

Being let go by an agent can trigger self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and a spiral of questions:

• Was I not good enough?
• Did I do something wrong?
• Have I ruined my chances?

In this episode, I break down:

💣 Why being dropped by an agent is not a verdict on your talent

💣 How to process the disappointment without letting it derail your momentum

💣 What this experience can teach you about choosing the right agent next time

💣 How to define healthy boundaries with agents

💣 Why agents should never be put on a pedestal - and what a professional actor-agent relationship actually looks like

💣Practical next steps to get back out there with clarity and confidence

This episode is for early-career and working actors who want grounded advice, industry perspective and reassurance without toxic positivity or false promises.

If you’re looking for an acting podcast that talks honestly about the business of acting, career setbacks, agents, mindset, and how to move forward strategically, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

You are not behind.
You are not broken.
And this is not the end of your career. It’s a recalibration.

🎧 Press play if you want to feel steadier, clearer, and ready to take your next step as a professional actor.

🎙️ Land Your First TV Role: The Steps Most Actors Miss
If you’re an early-career actor doing all the right things: training, applying, staying motivated... but your career has stalled, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Unstoppable Actors, I break down what actually gets actors cast in their first TV role, and why talent alone isn’t enough.

Most actors are taught how to act.
Very few are taught how the industry decides who gets seen, called in and cast.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why guessing your casting type keeps you invisible — and how to recognise the patterns already shaping your career
• The difference between “working hard” and being placeable in the eyes of casting directors
• Why most actors struggle to articulate what makes them distinctive — even when they’re genuinely compelling
• How headshots, credits, and choices quietly tell the industry who you are (whether you realise it or not)
• The strategic steps that lead from student films → indie work → walk-on TV roles (without throwing spaghetti at the wall)

This isn’t about shortcuts or hype.
It’s about clarity, positioning, and understanding how casting actually works — especially in the UK industry.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Why am I not getting called in?
• Why do others book roles faster than me?
• What am I missing that no one explains?

This episode will help you see your career (and yourself as an actor) differently.

🎭 Perfect for:

• New and early-career actors
• Actors looking to book their first TV credit
• Actors stuck despite strong training and motivation
• Anyone searching for an honest, practical acting career podcast

Signing with your first acting agent should feel exciting, so why does it often trigger anxiety, doubt, and imposter syndrome instead?

Unstoppable Actors is an acting podcast loved by actors in the UK, US, Europe, Australia, and this episode breaks down what really happens after you get representation and how to stay grounded, confident and creatively strong at this new level of your career.

• Why imposter syndrome often shows up after success
• The most common fears actors have once they sign with an agent
• How the nervous system reacts to new opportunities
• What self-trust actually is (and how to build it through craft)
• Why continuing Method Acting training is essential once auditions increase

A note from Method Acting Coach and Unstoppable Actors host, Louise:

I also share a real story from class, how my student Sarah signed with her first agent, why the wobble showed up, and what helped her move through it without self-sabotaging.

This episode is for actors who want:

• Confidence that doesn’t disappear under pressure
• Stronger auditions and self-tapes
• A calmer, more connected relationship with their craft
