So What Makes An Actor Successful?
Some may say it is talent. Some may even
say its beauty. I say its persistence. Rejection is the
#1 enemy and best friend of the actor. Everyone knows that
you shouldn’t be in this business if you can’t
take the rejection.
Have you heard the many reasons why you didn’t
get the job? By now, I think that I’ve heard them
all. How about these for starters: You’re too tall,
too blonde, too brunette, too flat-chested, too busty…
The list is endless. These comments are enough to make a
person eternally insecure.
So why do we continue putting ourselves through
the misery? Is it because we enjoy having doors slammed
in our faces? Do we enjoy waiting tables and working odd
hours in order to make that occasional audition? No. We
are professionals, not only in our field but, also at holding
out hope. We believe that every rejection gets us one step
closer to a job. You never know when your look and talent
is just what they are looking for and that one break might
change your life. That dream of that one break makes everything
worth it.
My name is Montica Reeves. I am an actress
and a singer and have been in the business for the majority
of my life. I can’t imagine doing anything else. If
you have any thoughts or comments and wish to contribute
