GET THE FACTS,,,DON'T' WASTE YOUR TIME AND YOUR CAREER>>>

Paul Barry, L.A.-based acting teacher AND writer Actors should be learning harsh truths at least a few times a week. If they don’t, their progress is going to be too slow to truly capitalize on opportunities before many of their most marketable years have passed them by. Make certain that you are prepared.

Understanding that hard work does not always equal success though is the harshest of all truths. We all know a great older actor that has worked consistently his or her whole career on bits and pieces, and yet cannot seem to break through to the next level. Conversely, some lazy young actors can simply become surprisingly lucky, which seems patently unfair to everyone else. The simple matter is that life does not promise—or even owe you—fairness. Hard work does not always equal success, but it does always equal growth. 

Your journey is your journey. At times breathtakingly simple, and at times phenomenally challenging. Learn to enjoy the entire roller coaster ride, and not just the peaks. When you do, you’ll find that the “harsh” realities are every bit as enlivening as the “lucky” breaks. 

DON'T GET MAD AT THE AGENT THAT TOLD YOU THE TRUTH, GET MAD AT THE ONE THAT LIED TO YOU.
