      Can you do your day job while your waiting for that moment after all that rejection?

    I always tell people, many great artists unfortunately were not appreciated in their lifetime- their work is found years later. (Especially since social media has only been around the last twenty years). It doesn’t mean the work wasn’t good, it just means it didn’t find itself in front of the right person.
    Some actors meet a director they really gel with early in their career and then have long working relationships with them, like Johnny Depp and Tim Burton or Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig.
    Actors and artists: never stop learning, never stop growing. Don’t place all your self worth on the rejection. Keep bettering yourself and your craft and eventually you’ll get there. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

    As an actor who graduated from a drama degree a year ago and found nothing since, this video definitely speaks to me. Cheers for lifting my spirits and making me realise I shouldn't blame myself though ❤

    So true!! I know so many actors that just quit because they don't realize the rejection.

    • @TheActorsAcademy

      Yes, many people think it’s just as simple as “audition” and “book,” but when 200 actors audition for a single role not everyone can book it. Rejection is apart of the game and when one can realize this, the process becomes much much easier

    Something to remember for all actors in this industry - "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward".

    Rejection according to me is really as you mentioned a process of becoming an actor, you must keep yourself busy with improving and working on your craft, join a theatre group and practice, believe in yourself and one day you're gonna get a role for sure!!

    Great video and it's so true that rejection is so common. Even as a stand-up comedian I sometimes don't get as many laughs from the audience as some of my fellow comedian friends do. It can be discouraging at times, but it just means that I have to work harder at my craft at writing and performing the jokes.

    That's a very interesting video. Especially for a guy like me who is planning to relocate partly because of the desire to become an actor. I think I have a tough skin but that video is a good reminder of the fact that I'd probably have to deal with rejection.

    Thank you so much for posting this! Yes, people especially those seeking this industry, need to understand the obstacles in the journey they will need to overcome! Reading Jenna Fischer's book An Actor's Tale: A Survival Guide gave me so much insight that I didn't even know I needed! And one of the biggest challenges discussed in the book, was about rejection. Thank you for sharing this!

    If you keep using the same method (researching or making your character, becoming familiar with the background, etc) but you seem to never get the part. Lets say after 50 tries with different auditions for movies, TV shows, etc; you still don't get it. Could it be because of your process? How can you know what you're doing in your process is wrong?

    • @TheActorsAcademy
      @TheActorsAcademy  3 роки тому +3

      This is a good question. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. If you gain some indicators of interest in your work; for example gaining callbacks here and there. It can be a good sign that you’re going in the right direction. Positive feedback from a casting director in the room (it’s not always typical, because they are very busy with seeing a lot of actors in a single day, but it can happen), shows that you are doing well.
      Having a trusted mentor or instructor review your work (if you trust them) can be very helpful to sometimes get a second eye/opinion. They can let you know if you are doing good, okay, or poor work.
      You should always be trying to improve your craft and have each audition be at least a little better than the last, but remember just because you don’t book doesn’t mean you are doing anything wrong, but looking for indicators of interest in your work and/or having a second eye judge your work can sometimes be beneficial if you can’t do it on your own.

      If you're new to the business of acting, you should probably get some experience working on a set first. It'll help you build your resume as an actor/actress and then you could go get some headshots and send them in to some agencies! Hope this helps.
