I\u2019m not for everyone.<\/p>\n

I know it.
You know it.
The whole internet knows it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m blunt, I\u2019m loud, I say shit.<\/p>\n

(I also yell shit.)<\/h5>\n

But \u2026 isn\u2019t that better than nothing? No feedback, no callback \u2026 no communication at all?<\/p>\n

Or worse, the ol\u2019 \u201cThankyousoooomuuuuuch!\u201d Or, \u201cThat was fantassssssstic!\u201d And then? Crickets.<\/p>\n

I hated that when I was an actor. So I won\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

But isn\u2019t it kinda nice to have someone in your corner who will tell you that the color you\u2019re wearing is maybe notsogood on you and you should maybe go to @JillKirshColor to learn what colors will enhance your look?<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it sorta reassuring that someone out there sees your potential and will not let you send that tape in until you\u2019ve nailed it?<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it rather pleasant to know that the accent you\u2019re working on is \u2013 well let\u2019s just go with \u201cnot quite there\u201d? And that a somewhat loud person you know will (a) tell you about it, (b) help you with it, (c) give you all kinds of resources for further help with it, and (d) push you until you\u2019ve perfected it?<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it nice to know you\u2019re not alone in this freaking nightmare of a career?<\/p>\n

Or \u2026 am I wrong? Would you prefer to keep running around town displaying your mediocrity in all of its glory?<\/p>\n

YOU<\/strong>
Yeah, but Les. Do you have to be so \u2026<\/strong>
loud? Aggressive? Pushy about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHey!\u201d She said loudly, aggressively and pushily. \u201cI\u2019m not ALWAYS that way! I only get super spicy when<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. it appears that you somehow didn\u2019t hear me the first three or four thousand times I repeated a suggestion,<\/li>\n
    2. I know you KNOW better, or<\/li>\n
    3. I need to break through your totally understandable, incredibly powerful defenses. You know, the ones that are currently operating at full strength in a misguided effort to protect you. (NEWSFLASH! Those defenses are NOT HELPING YOU! They\u2019re actually making it impossible for you succeed! I\u2019m yelling at THEM! Not you!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I\u2019m yelling to try to be louder than the OTHER voices in your head \u2013 the ones that are holding you back. I\u2019m yelling because I\u2019m trying to convince you to do what you need to do to get great at acting<\/em><\/strong> so you can book fabulous acting jobs<\/em><\/strong> and shoot them in cool locations<\/em><\/strong> with amazing people<\/em><\/strong> while telling a remarkable story,<\/em><\/strong> having an incredible time and making a great deal of money.<\/em><\/strong> And then telling me alllll about it<\/em><\/strong> (I love details). A reasonable tone of voice just doesn\u2019t cut it.<\/p>\n

      I\u2019m yelling \u2018cuz I\u2019m a coach, for God\u2019s sake, and I freaking want you to WIN! <\/strong><\/h3>\n
      (They never let me be a cheerleader. I was too klutzy.)<\/h5>\n

      This industry is tough.<\/p>\n

      I don\u2019t say shit to make it harder on you or to toughen you up. I\u2019m not a bully.\u00a0And you take enough crap from everyone.<\/p>\n

      I say shit because I will do whatever I have to do to get you so good at your job that you book with alarming frequency. And if you don\u2019t book it, you know for a FACT that it wasn\u2019t because of your ACTING. You KNOW you rocked it. They just went another way, which happens all the time. So it\u2019s easy for you to get back up and do it AGAIN.<\/p>\n

      They\u2019re allowed to be dumb.<\/p>\n

      And you\u2019re allowed to move on.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
