About this episode
Katie Prentiss’ personal saying is “Never say no for someone else”, and that’s what she had in mind when she sent off her first ever self-tape audition. She ended up booking a part in a film and has been hooked on acting ever since. In this episode of the Second Act Actors podcast, we cover her transition into acting, how it’s working around her job as a photographer and the importance of having great ‘soft skills’, whatever your job.
Katie and I compare and contrast photography and filmmaking and discuss whether you need to have innate talent to be able to construct a beautiful shot. She also tells me about her experience of coming out from behind the camera and how she’s learnt to portray emotions in a visible, public way.
Listen out for our insightful discussion about dealing with the pressure of coming to acting later in life and how we’ve both come to terms with it. Katie has some inspiring advice at the end of the episode about overcoming your fears and taking a risk to follow your dreams which you’ll definitely want to hear!
