SOME ACTING JOBS PAY A TON OF MONEY,

IN MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

SOME ACTING JOBS PAY A TON OF MONEY,

BUT THERE ARE A TON OF SACRIFICES THAT

CAN GO WITH IT.

While there are approximately 1 billion jobs that are more difficult than being a struggling actor, there are few that seem as depressing and demoralizing. Not only are actors constantly forced to put on a smile and head out to auditions where they will face near-certain rejection, but they're also always being told exactly why they were rejected — because they're too old, too fat, too ugly, too brunette, etc. It's weird line of criticism to willingly put yourself in and, stranger still, the newest trend with actors out in L.A. is to pay a shit-ton of money to go to class where an instructor and your classmates will hone in your particularities for you. Think of it like a sorority rush where your fellow sorority sisters circle all of your worst parts with a marker, only in this case the goal is less humiliation and "improvement" and more about exploiting whatever it is that makes you stand out to other people.

In conclusion, just like every successful anything you have to be 'trained', 'good at what you do', be flexible', and have a think skin, AND NOT TO MENTION>>..DON'T LISTEN TO OTHER FAILURES THAT CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE YOU ADVICE.
