, wellbeing, support and community for actors
Together, let's create, connect, and thrive, both on and off the stage.
so what is acting between the lines?
An online hub created to support actors through every part of their journey, both on and off the stage.
We provide carefully created teaching resources, tools, and products designed to help actors grow in confidence, strengthen their craft, and navigate the challenges that come with the industry. From self-care essentials and support for career anxiety, to line-learning hacks, audition prep, and overcoming stage fright, it's all here to help actors feel prepared, motivated, and supported.
Because acting is more than performing. It's about resilience, mindset, creativity, and continuous growth.
Hey, I'm Chelsey.
I founded Acting Between the Lines because I wanted to create something I felt was missing in our industry: a supportive space that prioritises actors' mental wellbeing.
I'm a 31-year-old actress from Manchester, and my journey began at 16. I trained in Acting for Camera at the Arden School of Theatre and have since built experience across theatre, Theatre in Education, and television.
This profession can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be demanding on the mind. Through my own experiences, I've learned the importance of resilience, support, and having the right tools to navigate the highs and lows of an acting career.
Alongside resources for wellbeing, I wanted to build a community where actors can connect, collaborate, and encourage one another to strive for even greater success. Thank you for being part of this journey. I can't wait to grow this together.

From the community

Finally a space that treats the actor as a whole person, not just a showreel. The guide got me through a brutal pilot season.
Chelsey has built something genuinely warm here. I came for the resources and stayed for the people.
The community side is what's missing everywhere else. I feel less alone in this industry than I have in years.
