Fill Up Your Acting Funnel | Season 2 Episode 10
In this episode, I share a powerful message about how actors can turn challenging times into opportunities for growth and preparation. No matter what kind of natural disaster or adversity you're facing—be it an acting strike, rejections, industry setbacks or personal setbacks—your response defines your character.
Instead of dwelling on frustration or waiting for the perfect moment, I encourage you to use this time to improve your materials, update your skills, and set clear goals for your career. The key is to keep moving forward, filling your pipeline with new work, skills, and energy, so that when opportunities arise, you're ready to seize them. Remember, your career is driven by momentum, mindset, and consistent effort.
Key Points:
1. Your response to adversity reveals your true character.
2. Use downtime to update your professional materials and skills.
3. Don't wait for a "perfect" time—send out your work and reach out to agents anytime.
4. Create strategic goals lists for now, 5 months, and a year ahead.
5. Keep filling your pipeline with projects and new work, regardless of immediate results.
As actors, it's easy to get caught up in waiting for the right moment or feeling overwhelmed by what’s not happening. But the truth is, success comes from consistent effort and a proactive mindset. Use this time wisely—refine your portfolio, expand your opportunities, and get clear on your goals. The more energy and momentum you build now, the more opportunities will come your way. So, I challenge you: get started today. Update that resume, send out your materials, and keep pushing forward. The future belongs to those who act now—so go out there and make it happen!
