The Harsh Reality of Pursuing an Acting Career

That's the reality folks. 22 yrs in my career, the training, the schools etc. Moments of work, followed by dry spells...big paydays to nothing....and yet still going. There is a lot of hard working talented folks out there. It's luck in the top 1%. Keep going if it's fun.

Networking your ass off is also something that will get you ahead. Find people where you are or that are living close to you that are in the film industry. Facebook groups and Stage 32 are good places to find those people. Build up your resume and when the time is right move to a bigger market so you can do better projects.

That's crazy. Lot of talented actors out there too looking for work.

Nice shirt youre wearing

Thank you for being honest❤

Sometimes its even more than luck. Personality goes a long way to get you into an audition and I dont mean sucking up which can really work against you. Be your better self. An experience castinge person or director can see through you

Thank you gor everything 🤍🔥

Luck? Crazy information! Go to L.A or wherever you want! Just because this guy didn't make it it doesn't mean you can't! Cross losers

I really appreciate hearing this! I like the honesty and it just goes to show Acting is something you should NEVER do for the money or the fame because it rarely comes along with it. The passion you carry for it is the best reason to pursue acting. Fall in love with being able to tell a story and being able to relate to all kinds of different characters. To anyone and everyone out there reading, if this is what you want don’t give up!

is it possible to become a hollywood actor being Nepali

I'm learning acting to work as a voice actress(intent to work in videogames), and even this will be hard to accomplish.

Imagine being an actor seeking to get a big role-or even just a role-in either the big screen or in a series?
Much harder.

Becoming an actor is like becoming a football/soccer player.The ones you see actually making it are the minority(even if there seems to be a lot of people), most never make it or will only have it as something they do "out of love" because it won't be (enough to be)paying their bills.

With this said, that's why the top actors and coaches say don't do this for the money.

Can you make your own luck. Is the real question?

🔥

And i think it is also important to be good at making friends with people in the business

Appreciate the honesty

Have faith. Pray. Practice. I have no room for self doubt. The day will come. And the devil it crafty stupid fuckwit because when you’re doing something right or on the right path to getting what you want he likes play games to put doubt and to steer people away. You are are a fucking amazing actor!

🔥

Honestly I think it just takes hard work, dedication, consistency, persistence, and GOD! And you will make it!

nah i don't give a shit, failure where I get up even if I have to miss 20 times, and I am already aware of these things !

🔥

I love acting with my whole being and I truly believe that I will never be fulfilled if I can’t become a working actor. I’m hoping to look into getting a degree in maths/accounting AND drama/theatre studies, so I can work in a different industry while pursuing acting. I’m in the UK though, so I don’t think I could afford to study two different degrees. Thank you for being honest with your supporters, hopefully we can move forward with a more sustainable plan. 🔥

I have a huge amount of good luck

It sucks because I think the reason a ton of actors get turned down is because most people don't really care about the art for acting and only see the big pay cheque. Which is why for actors who really care about the art and want to pursue a career find it difficult. They have to compete with millions of other people who only care about the money and fame.

This is hard truth and wise facts BUT I’m not gonna be devastated by it even though I have the worst luck ever 😅😅

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥This is the reason I like you content!!!!! nothing fancy and glittery talks just pure facts!! You should start your podcast man!!!!🔥🔥

Ouch this video made me sad 😢

yup, this is the reality! right place, right time

Thank you so much for this video ❤ I’m curious, what’s your favorite role you’ve made so far and why?

Thanks for such an advice and your wisdom to help many of us to fight to get through all the way up. You can be the best actor in the world, if you don't offer yourself the chances to accomplish your dream, it's like playing the Lottery only once, but to win the jackpot, you need to play everyday. 🔥

I know it’s crazy, but for some reason the idea of that kind of grinding fight excites me I don’t know why but I love it. I guess I’m just messed up in the head. Lol 😅

Hallo, could you make a Video about how much working is healthy and that also Star Actors have to make a break sometimes? I think for young actors like me, it is really necessary to say that because I nearly got a Burnout out because I only worked Hard but not smart. I think in our society most of the people only say "work, work, work" but nobody says, that only working without a break sometimes can be really dangerous and is not helping you very much, to get closer to your goal(If you really work one year all the time and after that, you get a Burnout and you can't work for a fee years, I don't think you are going to do it in this industry)

Hello! Is it possible to get the role without a degree just by auditions?

Thanks for a new video, you are amazing!
