Advice is provided for aspiring actors on creating effective audition tapes - take time to settle in before starting, actively listen and react to the reader, and avoid overacting. For parents supporting child actors, she emphasizes keeping perspective during ups and downs and ensuring the child's wellbeing stays a priority. Sarah stresses the importance of remaining humble and kind even after getting a big break. She shares stories of spotting talented yet untrained actors in unexpected places like shops, and going the extra mile to help them succeed. For those starting out, she advocates gaining experience through fringe theatre, student films etc. to have footage for a showreel.
