When you stop progressing and are craving forward movement in your acting endeavors, I encourage you to try out the suggestions on this list! They just may be the right thing and the right time to help you get your creativity thriving again\u2026<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Do a one on one coaching appt.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>One on one support from an acting coach<\/strong> is one of the first things I suggest for actors who are experiencing booking dry spells.\u00a0 Sometimes we become blind to habits and patterns that keep us stuck. Working during private sessions with a reputable coach is a great way to burst through any plateaus that have kept you stagnant.\u00a0 We\u2019ve just added private coaching sessions with Casting Director and expert acting coach, Blaine Johnston!\u00a0 Check out his open appointments <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actorsconnection.com\/?s=%22private+acting+coaching+session%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Take a Class With A New Teacher\u2013 and be the WORST student.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you have trained under one teacher for a long time, <strong>sometimes experiencing a new style of teaching can work wonders!\u00a0<\/strong> Don\u2019t be afraid to check out a brand new teacher! Now for this next part, hear me out! This isn\u2019t what you think it might be!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Learning in scenarios where you are the best student in the room aren\u2019t ideal. If you want quicker growth, get in rooms where you are the weakest student and you\u2019ll learn so much more from everyone around you. It will also force you to up level as fast as you can to keep pace with your classmates.\u00a0 Now this is a careful art\u2013 aim for a class that is challenging without being overwhelming. You want it to encourage you to WORK and not paralyze you.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Take Up a New Activity- Just for you!<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Agents and Casting Directors share this advice ALL THE TIME!\u00a0 Sometimes actors overload themselves with too much career focused information and activity that they forget they have one life to live and there are other parts to it! You need to be functioning as a WHOLE human being to be successful in life and avoid burnout.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Think about other interests you might have and start exploring them!\u00a0 Take up pickleball, swimming, ballroom dance, woodworking, pastels\u2013 <strong>get out and do something new<\/strong> to express yourself and experience life!\u00a0 Discovering the other things that bring you joy will encourage new ideas and inject fresh energy to your work.\u00a0 Keep building up your arsenal of new experiences and don\u2019t ever stop!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Lean into a brand new career friendship.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In this business, we are always meeting new people in classes, on set or on stage. <strong>Pick someone you have met and lean into building a deeper friendship. <\/strong>Meet for coffee and share career tips. Support each other\u2019s projects! Be open to developing friendships with adjacent careers like writers and directors! Bringing new and successful people into your circle is a great way to find new inspiration and learn.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Connect with a mentor<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mentors have a wealth of experience that you can leverage without the trial and error they experienced. <strong>Connect with someone you admire<\/strong> and come to them with a few specific questions to get their advice on career advancement and finding opportunities. Take special care to take action on their advice when appropriate and be sure to let them know you are grateful for their time and thoughts!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Use Your Skills as a Volunteer<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Your talents are a gift! A great way for a dose of happiness is to take some of your <strong>talent and lend it to a local non-profit organization<\/strong> that you care about. Find a way to give back to your community with your skills and remember that the world is bigger than the next acting job. We all need to do our best to contribute to making our piece of the planet better.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Happy File<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is a concept our friend and Agent, Albert Bramante shares often. <strong>Keep a running list of your wins and happy thoughts. <\/strong>During moments when you feel sad, frustrated or uninspired, pull out your list and re-read them.
