Location! Location! Location! It is generally agreed in the business world that in order to succeed you must be in a good location (unless youre a mail order house, of course!) Simply put, the more visibility you have, the more your chances for success. How does this apply to an Acting career, you might ask? Let me put it in prospective for you.
Vocation! Vocation! Vocation! Websters Dictionary defines vocation as: a strong impulse or inclination to follow a particular activity or career versus their description of an avocation: a minor or occasional occupation; a hobby. Now, assuming you are among those compelled to communicate through stage, television, motion pictures or radio you will want to think of your vocation as identifying your vision, creating a plan to implement that vision and, then, taking the necessary steps to activate your plan. If this approach doesnt appeal to you youre probably in the avocation category and this letter will be of little interest to you.
First and foremost, charting a course is essential not only to undertake your lifes work but as you travel down the path of life, in general. Since there in is no one-size-fits-all route either in life or vocation, different paths can get us to any one of several destinations and it is not impossible to stumble accidentally into a particular way of life or career. However, if you want the scales of opportunity tipped in your favor you may want to consider the old expression: Luck is where preparation meets opportunity!
With this issue we present a veritable smorgasbord of thoughts, marketing ideas, resources and miscellaneous inspirations to assist you in pulling together your plan to chart your career so that when the call comes, youll be ready for the task. Sturdy foundations not only help build strong houses but also build careers that stand the test of time. In ShowBiz that translates into obtaining a realistic understanding of the business aspects as well as how best to employ the resources needed to generate a product that will be in demandyour talent!
We believe that the preparation process includes: obtaining skills needed for connecting with Actors, directors and producers; becoming an active listener (an old proverb states to listen! or thy tongue will keep thee deaf!; the art of being able to clearly articulate your thoughts to others; self-management; personal discipline and, very importantly, the ability to sharpen your intuition which, like a compass, can point you toward the right direction and choices.
Have you ever heard someone say, regarding their business position in life..I wish Id have known that when I started out. Why didnt someone take the time to tell me? Well, the secret is that there really are no secrets when it comes to finding success and fulfillment in your career and, inadvertently, in your personal life and relationships. Even armed with this basic knowledge you must understand t hat in this ever-changing world of ours.things are changing constantly! You must be flexible, open to new ideas and be willing to share your knowledge with others. Thats just the law of life, folks!
The bottom line here is that the possibilities in charting your goals is endless and infinite. The rest is really up to you. One of the famous motivational gurus of the 60s once said to a study group: There are 10 simple words that can guide you through your lifespan. Each word is two letters long and easy to remember. I suggest you remember
IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME!
Preparation, Perseverance and Passion are the three Ps that you, as an Actor and a responsible human being, strive for as you attack your life plan. People only really become good at what they are passionate about so if youre passionate about becoming an Actor and fit into the Vocation category I suggest you PLAN to study your craft and become good at it; PLAN to persevere when youre not get ting parts and PLAN to share your knowledge and learn from others who share the same passion.
