(And How to Avoid Them)
A free guide from DMA London — the UK’s curated home for young professional actors.
Even brilliant actors stall when no one warns them about these traps.
If you already have an agent, auditions, or credits, you’re not starting from scratch. But talent alone doesn’t guarantee a career.
Most young actors don’t fall behind because they aren’t good enough. They stall because of invisible traps that quietly derail even the brightest talent.
This guide reveals the 5 biggest traps young actors and families fall into — and how our DMA actors avoid them to keep building careers that last.
At DMA London, we’re not another drama school.
We’re a members-only studio trusted by families and by the industry itself, home to actors starring in projects that include:
Apple TV+ (Lovely Little Farm – BAFTA winner)
Universal/Amblin (Jurassic World )

Warner Bros (The Conjuring: Last Rites)
We combine craft, career navigation, and wellbeing to create careers that last.
