When you don’t get a call

Posted on Monday 13 March 2006

Often times living and working in Hollywood I have found people (including myself) struggle when they aren’t getting called by their agent/s. It is often the most dificult situation because when your mind is overworking about the little oppertunitites that you have , chances are you aren’t performing well at the little auditions that you do have. I have found myself again and again in this situation. I think that the thing to remember is that there is always something to be working on. Whether it is discussing what you need to be doing more of with your teacher or your agent, or simply taking more classes and getting better at one preticular thing I think creating tasks or charactors or writing your own scenes or thoughts is the way or keeping the creativity machine well oiled. It is extremly important to do this so to avoid tailspinning into a deeper state or inertia. My acting teacher once said to try and have something to do after your audition when you are there. I think this is great advice because your mind isn’t overworking or judging yourself while needing to be at your most in-touch and at ease. Easier said than done I know. But I think it is a survival technique that I again and again have to exercise.
