Acting Up
Do you want to know the secret to becoming a successful actor? So do we.
Acting Up is a podcast made for struggling actors, by struggling actors (heavy emphasis on the struggling). Your hosts Megan Alderson and Jordan Skidmore delve into the harsh realities of breaking into a ruthless creative industry when you're working class, working a suffocating day job and disgustingly desperate. If you are sick of success stories and looking for something real, relatable and - in our opinion - quite funny? Welcome to Acting Up!

Acting Up
Mamma Mia Coffield!
This week Megan and Jordan are joined by long time bestie of the pod, class of Acting Up, Megan’s ex housemate and Scottish lass: the incredible Mia Coffield! It’s been a long time coming and tears are shed…
From wardrobe department to ensemble/1st cover Sophie, Acting Up are so proud to finally be able to share the news that Mia will be joining the cast of Mamma Mia! on the West End! It’s incredibly deserved, but Mias journey certainly hasn’t been orthodox. From drama club to the Dance School of Scotland, to Drama school and the industry, Mia gets candid about how she got to where she is today and how it feels to be on the precipice of your dreams coming true.
Tune in for tales of being an amorphous blob, coming from a creative family, assistant directing and ASMing, cruise ship health crises, leaving your agent, being a casting assistant and writing a musical with yer da.
Tangents include singing Skinny Love on YouTube, going back to Korea in your memories, purring and the affected anime voice.
TRIGGER WARNING: GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF GENITAL INJURY (at the end you’ll know when it’s coming!) :)
