Get Your Act Together!

Rose Flanagan

One of the episodes in this podcast from Melbourne creative and co-founder of SceneWorkout Rose Flanagan is titled, ‘Cutting the BS’, and that’s precisely what this show does. Get Your Act Together! is not about accolades or glitzy BTS goss, it is a place to find real, specific, straight-from-the-shoulder acting advice. What does it really mean to take bold risks? Should you be paying for an agent? The show offers up-to-date, hopeful and honest insight into the reality of the business. That’s right, because first and foremost, acting is a business. The voices on offer here help to demystify all the jargon and performance puff that can really be quite straightforward. It’s specifically tailored to the Australian landscape, and Rose steers her conversations with warmth and inquisitiveness to extract those nuggets of gold we can gain from others’ earned wisdom.
