Breakthrough Actors  Reviews 

Had a brilliant time at the first Breakthrough event. It brought a great mix people together, including casting directors, agents, and actors, but it never felt like a stiff networking event. The atmosphere was chilled and easy, so mingling and chatting felt completely natural. Met loads of lovely, interesting people and came away having learned a lot. Already looking forward to the next one.

I attended the Breakthrough Launch Party the other night and had an absolute blast. Everyone who attended was so lovely to speak with and the staff were phenomenal. It was such a great opportunity to meet new, like-minded people. Also a brilliant chance to talk to people you wouldn’t normally get a chance to; such as casting directors and producers. I will definitely be recommending to all of my actor friends!! 🙌

Honest and properly curated. A good mix of professionals from different parts of the industry which is a must. Friendly atmosphere.

So the location was great and the right size for the group of people attending. I actually had a great time speaking with a lot of very agreeable people despite the fact I only spoke to fellow actors and no other industry professionals which would have been prudent for me to do so but that is down to me.

Breakthroughs launch event was a huge success. As a producer, it was really great to connect with some industry friends and see some new actors in the room. The platform is so needed and absolutely worth the investment for actors.

A fun evening and an excellent opportunity to meet face to face the casting directors we as actors are self-taping for day-in and day-out in a relaxed setting. Would recommend.

Breakthrough is a wonderful new tool for actors to expand their knowledge of the industry, particularly the world of casting. Tree is incredibly watchable, funny, and, not to mention, knowledgeable and generous with her insights. I gained valuable information that I haven’t heard so honestly shared in casting director workshops. As a member of Breakthrough, I would highly recommend it to actors, especially those just starting out and in need of some guidance. I can’t wait for more! Thank you Breakthrough!

As an established Actor, I was looking for something to keep me up to date with the fast changing industry and Breakthrough Masterclasses offer just that.

The sessions are well-structured, professional, and genuinely supportive. What really stands out is the depth of experience and industry knowledge shared by Tree Petts. As a Casting Director, she brings real-world insight that you simply can’t get from generic acting classes. She is clear, constructive, and specific — not vague or sugar-coated.

Tree has a brilliant way of explaining what Casting Directors are often looking for, how decisions are made, and how actors can present themselves more effectively. You can tell she has years of hands-on experience, and she shares that knowledge generously and honestly.

Highly recommend Breakthrough Masterclasses to any actor who wants practical, industry-led guidance rather than theory. It’s insightful, empowering, and absolutely worth it.

I love this website so much and wish I had access to this info when I was starting out. Such an informative masterclass broken down into all the basics all the way to your relationships with agents - it holds your hand the entire way through the process. Would highly recommend for any and all actors no matter what stage you’re at with your career!

Breakthrough has inspired me to push forward with my acting career. By following the first Tree Petts Masterclass I’ve already managed to get a bunch more auditions. Very glad I signed up and really looking forward to what the future of breakthrough brings.

Breakthrough is a brilliant tool to help someone navigate the industry at all levels. For actors who feel as though there is an invisible glass ceiling preventing them from breaking through, Breakthrough helps them navigate that mindset by shattering any notion of a glass ceiling and dismantling the myths that can form as mental barriers. For me, this platform should be compulsory for every actor entering or actively working within the industry.
