Quote of the Week: An Amateur

Every artist was first an amateur.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The deeper I get into my work the more I feel like an amateur. I guess that’s why I keep doing it. It scares me. I have this fear that I will fail and sometimes I do. But the strength to get back up and do it again is the mental challenge I have with myself.

I had an audition last week and it felt amazing. I loved the depth of the character, I loved the layers of who she was and mostly I saw parts of myself in her. I walked into the room and just let it all out, slowly. I left the audition thinking that if there was anything I left in that room, it would’ve been who I was and what I was about.

The next day, my agent sent me a quick email. He told me that he spoke to the Casting Director and she said I totally misread the character and wasn’t even close to the other contenders. DAMN. How could I be so wrong? I ended up dwelling on this for a whole week. Maybe I don’t know what I’m doing after all. My agent is extremely positive and he said it wasn’t the end of the world (it’s a week later and no one has died yet) but my instincts were completely off. Such a sucky feeling.

But we gotta hang in there and use these “failures” as the next steps to our success. I’m sure this is only just the beginning.

being different is better than being the same... that instinct will pay off eventually.
