THE SECRETS TO BEING A BOOKABLE ACTOR…and other life ideas
Actors must be good and agile with their craft. But, working in this biz takes more than talent and hard work.
5 ways to get ahead in acting (and in life):
BECOME A MULTI-HYPHENATE.
Nope, not in the way you think…you DON’T need to add writer, director or producer to your title (unless you want to). But, you MUST add: human being-good person-thoughtful-a good scene partner in there somewhere. Strive to be the best version of yourself, and you’ll be admired for it.
COMMUNICATE CLEARLY.
As much as you can. In your own voice, and precisely if you are able. You’ll be viewed as a professional.
HELP OTHERS.
Make it about them. How can you support, solve, bear witness. Show that you care. You’ll stick in that someone’s memory and good things always come around.
STAY CURIOUS.
About everything. Why & how does your craft bring you joy today/right now? Isn’t it interesting that sometimes taking a break refills your creativity? What is gravity, really? And, what if it didn’t exist? Living in a state of wonder is magnetic. You’ll be delightful.
KNOW YOURSELF.
Know your limits, your boundaries, your tolerance and your joy. You’ll be regarded as confident and kind.
