What are you grateful for today?
Many people have shared and reshared this simple phrase, “what if you only had today what you said thank you for yesterday?” It may seem somewhat odd to begin an “Acting Tip” with what are you thankful for, yet being thankful is an important aspect of any actor’s life.
Casting Directors (CDs) are constantly bombarded with talent dying to be put on the next latest show or movie. Gorgeous women and dashing men are flashing their best outward appearance for a chance at fame. The truth is, working with a beauty on the outside who is a monster inside is the worst nightmare ever. The nicer you are to work with the more likely you will be to get on a project. Crew hate working with cranky actors who are stuck up and cannot see past their own glory.
If you approach every new acting gig feeling grateful for another opportunity, the people around you will not only appreciate you but they will respect you that much more. As an actor your “worth” including your outward appearance will be far more valuable if you have a heart to match it.
As the timeless tales have stated, it is not just what is on the outside that counts but what is in the heart.
Remember to say Thank You! It will cost you very little and yet will set you apart and will make a statement.
So thanks for reading guys! 🙂 Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!
