How much are you willing to endure to pursue your passion
and achieve your goals. Each day as actors we are bombarded with many naysayers who believe we should quit and get
“a real job”. In their mind we are in
pursuit of a childhood fantasy, and they never stop to realize that the actors
they see in their favorite movies, were once in our shoes. So the question becomes how important
is it to you, and what are you will to endure to reach your goal?
This became a reality to me recently as I wanted to just
walk away. No one enjoys
struggling. Not knowing when your day
is coming is not an easy pill to swallow.
But I realized that if I quit, I give others the victory. Quitting for me is not an option. As I began to reaffirm to myself that my day
will come, I was invited to attend the OmegaKayne Intensive Acting Class. This is where reality sat in for me. Through this class I realized how bad I
really wanted to be an actor.
This class for me was a game changer. My mental definitely met my physical. It was nothing like I had every
experienced. As we recited our
material in the assigned dialect, our bodies were pushed to the limit. The monologues were life-changing
affirmations. I began to understand
that wanting it was not enough, but I had to be bold and go get it. Act like I deserve the opportunity more than
the next person. It is about leaving an
impression.
My Advice:
1. Seek out a class where you will be challenge.
2. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and will push you to be your best.
3. Embrace the idea that "Quitters Never Win".
