The reality of Hollywood
.....
Different people have different dreams about their lives, they want to achieve what they believe accomplishes them and makes them happy. Acting is a passion and most actors I know do it for the love of the art while they try making a living off of it. Being an actor is a very unpredictable journey especially at the beginning as you need to stay financially stable and continue doing it over time. It’s therefore critical to know what you want to achieve and why are you doing it. You pretty much recognize certain people who want to do it for fame, being on the red carpets and in every media of the world possible. If that is what you want and it’s your main driver then you might suffer from the journey ahead of you as this clearly shouldn’t be your main purpose of becoming an actor. Don’t think about the fame and glamour of being in the spotlight if you are serious about acting and feel that it’s the freedom to you, a form of art to express yourself, something that makes you happy and fulfills you and the people around you. If you do it for the love of doing it and people realize and feel your talent which makes them want to see more, then fame and everything else will come anyway. But if that is the only thing you are striving for using acting to get there, then this might not be the right profession for you. It sounds hard but it’s key to ask yourself that as I want to prepare you for the emotional roller coaster you will experience. If you don’t see the bigger picture acting has for you and your life then really go deep within yourself and think twice if you want to pursue it. Commitment is one of the key elements necessary, but commitment can just exist if you understand the real value something has for you. On the other side it’s important to not lose yourself in the art of acting but always come back to it if you start questioning everything in hard times. We are talking more about your inner belief system to be fully prepared for what’s ahead of you.
Be prepared for the hard times
