Why so many actors don't make it>> part one.

IN MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

 

Why so many actors don't make it>> part one.

 

I was recently speaking with some actors about why they thought most aspiring actors don’t achieve their dreams. These actors agreed that finding work was the big issue. Whilst I absolutely agree that finding and sustaining work to pays the bills can be very difficult, it goes a little deeper as to why most aspiring actors never make it.

Let me explain…

I believe that if you are savvy and keep marketing yourself appropriately to your target market, whilst also having the acting skills (many acting classes) to back up your business strategies you can find work. I also firmly believe that if you want to take complete control of your career you can create your own work. You only have to look at the fringe scenes and the likes of Ricky Gervais’ career. I’m not saying it’s easy, but if you learn the right skills it is doable. Way too many give up right before it happens, many times caused by unrealistic expectations and time.
