APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN
Acting can be a lonely journey. The year’s goals feel big, it’s creeping towards mid-year, and it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure of your next step.
You don’t have to do it alone. We’ve been receiving more requests from actors for hands-on support with the business side of their careers, and after careful research, we’re excited to announce the Actors Guild Mentorship Lab.
This six-month programme is designed to hold your hand for the rest of the year, providing structured training, personalised individual coaching, and insider guidance — all within a supportive community of actors who truly understand the journey. This isn’t about ticking off unrealistic goals; it’s about building sustainable habits, unlocking new skills, and connecting with industry professionals who can help you achieve your long-term career ambitions.
Together, we’ll create a clear plan for your career, improve your self-tapes and audition technique, and develop a strategy that helps you get noticed, book the roles that are right for you, and feel confident running your acting career like a business.
Limited to 20 actors.
Apply now — this is your only chance to join in 2026.
