Do you know your value?
Do you truly understand the value of your gifts and talents? As actors we are constantly faced with
rejection. In this industry you will
receive many more no’s than yes’s. In this case what do you do? How do you stay
inspired? The answer is simple, “Know
your worth!”. Just because you are
rejected your value doesn’t change. You
must continue to push forward until you reach your goals and dreams.
Many times I find myself
questioning my value. I constantly ask
myself, am I as good as I think I am? Am
I as good as my friends that I am? I
have been on this journey pursuing acting full time for three long years. Has this pursuit been easy? Definitely nor,
but it has definitely taught me many life lessons.
· 1. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else
will.
· 2. If you stop at one failure you will never know
if success was next
· 3. Sometime to get what you want, you have to step
out of your comfort zone.
· 4.When faced with rejection, know that other
opportunities will come.
· 5.You will never taste successful, if you keep
chewing on my failures.
To my fellow actors, keep
pushing. Your day will come. Then the
question becomes “Are you prepared?” In
listening to casting director Twinkie Byrd.
She said she loves giving actors opportunities, but when given the
opportunity she expects you to be prepared.
So I would say as you continue to pursue acting, continue to prepare. Preparation
is key. Even though, you do not land
all your auditions continue to prepare and hone your gifts, you never know when
your golden opportunity will come. Most
importantly know your worth. Know that though
you may not get a role, it does not speak to value of your talents. Your worth never changes.
