"With the economy in this condition, why choose a profession where the unemployment rate hovers around 90% on a good day?" Without getting into a lot of psychology, it's probably because I'm immature and naive.
The fact is, I like it. And more over, it's what I went to school for. So, to validate my education, you better believe I'm gonna land a role of some kind - unemployment rate be damned.
And since I'm gearing up to be a real, professional actor, I have finally equipped myself with an actor's most important weapon: shiny new headshots.
I have received 10 complimentary prints of my headshot from my photographer, because he's such a nice guy.
10 headshots. 10 photos of my smiling face. 10 opportunities for employment.
This blog exists to help me answer a question.
Can I get cast before I run out of headshots?
Join me on my adventure through the casting process, as I detail my experiences at 10 different auditions in the Boston area.
You will meet my adversaries - the companies who challenge my spirit, as well as my own doubt and complacency.
You will meet my allies - my friends who provide me with valuable information and support me through my journey.
And hopefully, in the end, we'll all have learned a little something about ourselves.
Nice blog Terry. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteAnd even if it requires getting a few non-complimentary headshots, I'm sure you'll get there.
Good luck!
