WHY I’M SO GLAD I’M NOT INTO ACTORS
I live in New York City, and that means most of the people I know or see are actors. From afar it can seem rather glamourous sometimes, the life of an actor, but up close it’s kind of a nightmare. I grew up around actors and now I live amongst them, and LET ME TELL YOU I am so happy to not be one of them myself. Here are some of the MANY reasons I am glad I am not an actor.
- You have to audition constantly.
- You have to go all over the city to be constantly auditioning.
- You have to constantly be judged just by the fact that you are constantly auditioning
- You have to always been thinking about how you look, or how you’re supposed to look.
- You have to think about what other people think of you all the time.
- You have to constantly get rejected.
- You have to do lots of bad shows and projects.
- It is really hard to get good shows and projects.
- You might never do a show that actually interests you
