Next up in our back to basics series, a question I hear so often. What are the jobs of an agent or a manager? How do they differ? Do I need both? When do I get them?
Casting websites and the proverbial oxygen that keep you alive in this business. I remember basically slamming my head into the hostess stand at my restaurant job trying (and failing) to figure out how in the hell I was supposed to get auditions. I moved here for this, where are they?!? Enter: casting websites.
I find joy in organizing my life. Also it’s a new year and this is probably on half of your “2021 Goals” lists. So allow me to help! Here are my four favorites!
I am setting a boundary for myself. That is one of the many things I learned this year that I hope to not forget. In the insanity roller coaster that was 2020, I learned more about myself than maybe any other year in my life. I’m sure a lot of people feel the same way.
This week is king of confusion for a lot of us A-types who need to be working on something since “we already took a few days off!!!” So instead of telling you to just push through, keep resting & finding ways to relax, and if you just can’t stomach another day of cuddling on the couch and eating leftover cookies (which I would also suggest) here is a list of low-key things to occupy the “doing” side of your brain. ⠀
Over and over again I read these iterations of the same fears. Ones I have thought constantly in various levels at different times in the last ten years. And I think they have f*cked me. Why? Because I have made them such a part of me that I let my fears make decisions in my career and in my art.
I use this gently cause I know your inbox is sacred (either that or you have 5k unread messages).
