Screenwriting Tips That Can Help Your Acting Career

This was an interview between screenwriter Tom Vaughan and I and it was so good we broke the virtual studio! Well, actually, it crashed mid-interview (classic tech fail 🙄), but luckily, we still captured some pure gold that every actor needs to hear. This convo with Tom Vaughan—actor-turned-screenwriter and coach—is packed with insights on how actors can flip the script on their careers. Here’s a sneak peek:

Leverage your acting skills to tell better stories. Tom reveals how an actor’s innate skills of breaking down scenes, understanding dialogue rhythms, and living in the moment translate directly to writing—and how actors can use these tools to create their own projects.

Tired of playing background roles? Create your own opportunities. Tom explains how writing gave him the freedom to design roles that fit his unique essence—and how you can do the same to build your brand and open new doors.

Relationships are everything. We talk about the art of networking and how being easy to work with (and willing to do favors) can shape your career. We even got into the nitty-gritty on how to stand out with query letters—something actors can definitely us to pitch themselves.

This episode will teach you to write your own future—whether on paper or in life—and take back control of your career.

Until next time, you stay your bold and beautiful self,
Anne
