This time I know you're serious. And it's moved me. <BR/><BR/>People can be insincere, especially in the blogosphere where it's not uncommon for people to prostitute themselves for their own gain; but I hope you know that's not what I'm about. So I'll keep it brief to spare your embarrassment (and mine) and tell you, I hate not having seen you act so as to offer my opinion. And I hate having to hear you talk of giving up on what used to be your dream. But most of all I hate knowing there's nothing I can say, except to wish you well, regardless of what you finally choose to do. From a blogging perspective, it's a great post dude.Ronaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262559189959653957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13855432.post-1142027054354888502006-03-10T22:44:00.000+01:002006-03-10T22:44:00.000+01:00Well it wouldn't work here, in the Czech Republic....Well it wouldn't work here, in the Czech Republic. First of all everyone, actors or otherwise will shoot straight for the food table, and gorge into as much as they can as quick as they can, so there's nothing left over.<BR/><BR/>Of course some of them might be putting the food in their pockets, but they might just as well be a teacher, banker, jewellery box designer or anything as an actor.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639879112148818986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13855432.post-1142025020382150622006-03-10T22:10:00.000+01:002006-03-10T22:10:00.000+01:00A little humor since I got a bit serious in the pr...A little humor since I got a bit serious in the previous comment.<BR/><BR/>How do you tell an actor at a party?<BR/><BR/>He/she is the one putting food in their pockets.The Culture Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224692630119255760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13855432.post-1142022979441691022006-03-10T21:36:00.000+01:002006-03-10T21:36:00.000+01:00I heard this a lot when I was growing up; both my ...I heard this a lot when I was growing up; both my parents were actors. And they made their living that way. Probably one of the most difficult professions to be in...<BR/><BR/>Let's focus on the positive. Acting is a craft. What are you doing to focus your craft? What plays are you reading? What plays are you attending? What about enrolling in an acting class so you can be around other actors? Being around those in the Business is important for your sanity and your soul. What about forming a reading group with other actors? Great way to read all those texts you keep meaning to read, but can't seem to find the time...<BR/><BR/>Acting is also a business-treat it as such. You are your own business entity. Do you have enough wardrobe and makeup right now? Is your headshot current? Who should I call or visit to remind them I exist and am looking for work? <BR/><BR/>Live as though you are an actor (I take it you have the poverty and unemployment going for you right now...so you're halfway there) and believe yourself to be one...things will happen.<BR/><BR/>I'd hate like hell to see you abandon your dream in order to seek the shelter of a bourgeois port....The Culture Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224692630119255760noreply@blogger.com
