Be Brave, Have Courage

IN MY OPINION;

WILLIAM REYNOLDS

ACTORS NEED TO BE BRAVE, RISK TAKERS, GAMBLERS RIGHT? HAVE COURAGE, RIGHT?

You are brave, bold, and daring in your pursuit of a risky career that requires sacrifice, hard work, and financial investments WITHOUT the guarantee of success. Even during the necessary training you do to develop your craft and prepare to get to do professional work, I know for a fact how courageous actors must be. Week after week, time after time, it is challenging. you have to put yourself up in front of other actors and instructors and casting directors to get direction and critique about you and the work that is presented, allow yourself to be emotionally available, take chances, and be willing to fail (in order to grow). And then the actual auditions and working on the set, or onstage can be exciting, but for many, makes them fearful about failing. So, as I said, being an actor and living this life is challenging and takes real courage, but it is so worth it, because the work and personal successes produce such “highs” that are not found in many other professions.

And as Denzel says 'THAT I CAN GUARANTEE'.
