I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.

Actors, entertainers and presenters use their bodies and voices to entertain, pretend to be characters or provide information to audiences. They do this through singing, comedy routines, magic tricks or tv show hosting, for example. See what a job is like and how to land a professional role.
Many people start out as freelancers or contractors. If you work on a gig basis, you can pick up a range of different jobs, giving you varied experience and a wider portfolio.
You might begin working as an extra, production runner or researcher. Then, as you become more established, you could go from small film productions to national TV programmes, for example. Or you could become an agent, talent spotter, manager or producer.
Working as a freelancer doesn’t suit everyone. If you have enough experience, you could find a full-time role such as with a TV channel.
Over your career, you could take extra training in areas like directing, dialogue coaching, scriptwriting, teaching or drama therapy.
You can join organisations like Equity or Bectu, which are trade unions for creative practitioners. They provide professional recognition along with training and networking opportunities.
