”Where are the bookings?” More specifically, “Where are MY
bookings?” I certainly don’t
know. It’s not slow, people are
booking, it’s just not me. It
seems as time goes on there has been more and more space in between my bookings. I wish I had an answer for it, but I
don’t. I’m auditioning better and
studying more, but the results are not what I’d hope as of yet. I even shot photos specifically for my
print agent, but that hasn’t lead to even one appointment for a print job. Not even an appointment.
I’m seeing
success all around me, but I’m not seeing tangible results for myself. At the same time I feel very strongly
that I’m doing the right thing in participating in my quest to move forward in
my career. It’s funny, I sometimes
go back and read old entries that I’ve written and I hardly recognize the
excitement and strides I was making back then. I’d hoped that, by now, I’d be MUCH further along than I presently
am. I don’t know why I am
not. I do know that there are
plenty of, now successful actors’, that lived the same story I’m living now
before hitting that next level. They
catered, did construction, were fitness trainers, served burgers, made drinks,
etc. I have no question that I’m
doing the right thing by staying engaged and not giving up my place in line.
It seems that I
can hardly watch TV, film or a commercial without seeing some sort of
connection to a person, a production or a product. It might be a very obscure connection, but a connection
nonetheless. I feel like I have no
more than 6 degrees of separation from everyone in the industry. Of course that’s not true, but often
times it seems that way.
I, like many and
most actors, just want to see more results. I also know that I’ll have to be patient. This is not a sprint it’s certainly a
journey.
Lastly, I
definitely want to thank my representatives and the casting directors that
continue to support me and believe that “I can do this!”
