AUDIO ONLY I Pursuing an International Acting Career: From Small Town to Big Screen

How does an actor from a small country make it to the international market? Do you really have to live in the big cities in order to make it?

Tune in to our conversation with Ruben Francq, a Belgium-based actor and acting coach, who shares his journey. From teaching to acting in commercials, films, and series, Ruben reveals the challenges he faced and the strategies he used. Learn how self-tape auditions have revolutionised the industry and the crucial role his dedicated agent played in building a successful acting career. 

Ruben worked on international sets, and talks about the cultural contrasts between American positivity and Belgian modesty as he recounts one of his major film experiences. Embracing compliments from his American colleagues transformed his confidence and performance. 

Additionally, get tips on how to prepare for auditions with minimal information, focusing on script analysis, and making every small role count. Ruben shares valuable insights on navigating auditions and the art of standing out while staying true to the text.
