Most actors know what it is like to live on the edge: part of their talent is to allow that creativity to come out in their work. Equally, there are few actors who don’t know about the struggles in their chosen career, whether it is looking for the next piece of work, or trying to make ends meet.
What is difficult is keeping the practical difficulties and worries separate from your performing talent. As the great theorist and practitioner of the stage, Konstantin Stanislavksy once said: ‘Never come into the theatre with mud on your feet. Leave your dust and dirt outside.’
As an actor you have to be business-like as well as artistic: you have to give of your best in performance of course, at acting auditions or casting calls, but you have to manage your time and energy to find work for yourself after the present job finishes. This is true even if you have an agent, for only you have your best interests at heart.
This is why it pays to have the practical side of your theatre casting career in good hands.
At Audition Now, our expertise is in looking for the right casting calls or acting auditions for you, and keeping you notified of work opportunities in the pipeline. This allows you to exploit your talents to the full, and, as Stanislavsky said, leave behind ‘all the things that ruin your life and draw your attention away from your art.’
