Words of Encouragement

Although this doesn't qualify as technical industry "advice," I just wanted to take a moment to send out a few words of encouragement to all actors out there trying to make a mark in this insane business:

- You got into this industry for a reason -- remember what that reason was and celebrate it!

- You have something unique to offer the world (even if you aren't sure what that is yet).

- Although things may be tough for you right now, you are not alone! I know A-List actors who are getting dropped from their agencies and who cannot get work. And they've got huge mortgages to pay and families to support -- if you're sleeping on someone's couch you're probably better off!

- Even if you're struggling, you're following your passion and that is more than 95% of people can say. Be proud!
