Hi, I’m Grace Blackman!

My mission at The Actor’s Assistant is to provide tailored virtual assistance to actors and industry professionals. It is my belief, creatives who feel organised, supported, and inspired enjoy long careers - and that’s where I love to help! Whether you need inbox management, custom scene writing, self-tape reading, or showreel editing, I’m here to help you streamline your workload to bring back focus to yourself and your craft.

After training with the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, National Student Drama Festival Actors Company, Loughborough University, Arts Educational Schools London, The National Youth Film Academy and The Actors Class, I’ve been performing across theatre, film, TV and commercials for over a decade. My favourite roles range from Channel 4 and the BBC, to the Edinburgh Fringe and VAULT festival, but every opportunity has been a joy! I also have extensive experience in business support, such as freelance casting assisting, office management in the finance and construction industries, and corporate and healthcare receptionist duties, which I think keeps me passionate about the admin side of the industry we are in.

Being self-employed in the arts can feel isolating, but you don’t need to do it alone. Please feel free to explore the site, and discover a package that fits your needs; I would love to help make your creative journey more manageable and more joyful.

All the best,

Grace
