Career Course: Introduction
I want to be honest and clear from the start. I have made this for me. For the 25 year old version of me who felt like there was no way to continue on this career path. This is everything that helped me go from sleeping on a wet mattress, miserable, hating acting and resentful of the industry, to being nominated alongside my heroes two years later. In the most honest, clear and actionable way I can possibly pass it on. I realised there was an infinitely better way to excel in acting. And now, that’s what I want to pass on to you. Hope this helps x Michael Sheasby
