That\u2019s because being an actor is a path unlike any other. Actors are creative by nature, but the working life of an actor requires you to be disciplined. Essentially, you become the CEO of your own career. A lot of actors struggle with this aspect of the industry.\u00a0 <strong>It can be disheartening when you\u2019ve put so much time and effort into your acting and you feel your career hasn\u2019t progressed<\/strong>. But take heart, even A-List actors lose motivation in their careers from time to time. Many have even been on the brink of giving up before their luck changed and they made it big.<\/p>\n<p>No matter the type you\u2019re stuck in, getting out an acting rut is easier than you think. There are simple actions you can take <em>today\u00a0<\/em>to get unstuck. If you need a little push of motivation and a clear guide to your next success, read on!<\/p>\n<h2>Acknowledge That Your Acting Career is in a Rut<\/h2>\n<p>You might be feeling completely overwhelmed right now. Especially if it\u2019s been a while between gigs, or if you\u2019re yet to book your first role. But in order to generate success in your acting career, you just need to be intentional and consistent in your acting work.<\/p>\n<p>There are three types of rut you can get stuck in as an actor: mindset, motivation, and skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first step to getting out of any rut is to acknowledge that there is a problem.<\/strong> This step is absolutely crucial towards making any sort of positive change in your life, and especially in your acting career.<\/p>\n<p>In psychology there is something called the \u2018model of behaviour change\u2019. The first phase of this model is what psychologists call the <strong>pre-contemplation phase<\/strong>. In this phase, people deny or ignore the problem facing them. Maybe you\u2019ve tried a change like this before, and it hasn\u2019t worked. That\u2019s left you feeling demoralised or despondent. All of this is completely normal.<\/p>\n<p>To determine quickly whether you\u2019re in an acting rut, ask yourself these questions. Be honest. No one will know your answers but you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do I still feel passionate about acting?<\/li>\n<li>Does an acting career feel possible?<\/li>\n<li>How do I feel about the progress of my acting career?<\/li>\n<li>What actions am I taking (or not taking) towards my goals?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you still feel excited and passionate about becoming an actor, but feel like a career is impossible, you are probably in a rut. Especially if you struggled to list actions that you <em>are<\/em> taking, but could think of plenty examples of what you\u2019re <em>not<\/em> doing.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of an acting rut include:<\/p>\n<blockquote wp_automatic_readability=\"12\">\n<p>You want to be an actor but you don\u2019t know where to begin.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re stuck doing unpaid work and don\u2019t know how to start getting cast in paid roles.<\/p>\n<p>You have headshots, a reel and you\u2019re ready to work but you can\u2019t get an agent to sign you.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re unable to complete tasks associated with your acting career.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The next step is very important.\u00a0<strong>Do not beat yourself up about being in a rut.\u00a0<\/strong>It is completely normal, and there is nothing shameful in it. Even Matthew McConaughey has been there. Watch his story below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Matthew McConaughey turned down $14,500,000 | The Graham Norton Show - BBC\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TlQ9rPpFfN8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Accept Responsibility and Take Control Of Your Acting Career<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing to realise is that <em>the power to create a great acting career is in your own hands.<\/em> Now, I hear you. You don\u2019t feel powerful. You feel lost. Maybe you\u2019re even unsure if this path is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>This feeling most likely comes from your past experiences. The times where you\u2019ve put a lot of energy and effort into your acting career but you haven\u2019t yet seen the rewards for those efforts. It\u2019s easy to feel that because your past efforts haven\u2019t resulted in the change you\u2019ve hoped for, future action won\u2019t either. You lose motivation and are left feeling disheartened, despite your big dreams.<\/p>\n<p>This is totally normal. But it\u2019s also an incorrect way of thinking, and it won\u2019t help you move forward. Just because you haven\u2019t seen the results you\u2019ve hoped for <em>yet<\/em> does not mean you won\u2019t achieve them. <strong>Every actor who has the career you dream of has been in your position at one point in their lives. <\/strong>You simply lack motivation because you don\u2019t have any evidence that new effort will result in new, successful results.<\/p>\n<p>To change this, you need to take complete and total responsibility for yourself and your career. You are the one with the power to change your life.<\/p>\n<blockquote wp_automatic_readability=\"7\">\n<p>It\u2019s not your fault if you\u2019re stuck in a rut, but it is 100% your fault if you allow yourself to stay there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A lot of people think that to make it big as an actor they need to make a massive change. But the truth is, like a diet or getting on top of your finances, it\u2019s not all or nothing.\u00a0 Yes, you\u2019re accountable for your own acting career, but that accountability lies in small every day action.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aim for huge creative comeback<\/li>\n<li>Beat yourself up for taking time off acting<\/li>\n<li>Overhaul everything at once<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You do need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Give yourself grace<\/li>\n<li>Make a plan<\/li>\n<li>Take consistent steps towards your goals<\/li>\n<li>Lean into your acting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/how-do-i-make-actor-friends\/\">community<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So let\u2019s dive in. The first step is to master your mindset.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting Out of a Mindset Rut as an Actor<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re doubting yourself, start here.\u00a0In an acting career, mindset is 80% of the battle. Mindset is simply the story you tell yourself.\u00a0If your answers above tended towards self-limiting beliefs such as \u201cI don\u2019t have what it takes to succeed\u201d or \u201cIt\u2019s never going to happen for me\u201d, you\u2019re most likely stuck in a <strong>mindset rut. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no shame to being in a rut. The pathway to your successful acting career is going to have periods of feeling stuck. It\u2019s all part of the journey. Feel your feelings. Know that you are courageous and brave for dreaming big and wanting to do this. Especially if you don\u2019t come from a family of actors or you don\u2019t have anyone in your life who is in a creative career to guide you.<\/p>\n<p>In order to create change, you first need to believe in your ability to change. To get unstuck from a mindset rut, you need to<strong> start believing new things about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, if you\u2019re not crash hot on \u2018self-help\u2019 style talk or the sort of woo woo manifestation, I hear you. So let\u2019s look at the science.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Mindset for Actors Positive Self Talk\" width=\"630\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-48008 size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-1024x488.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-1536x731.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-2048x975.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-630x300.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/How-to-Talk-To-Yourself-as-an-Actor-1260x600.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Positive Psychology for Actors: How to Talk to Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>How you talk to yourself matters. This is backed by decades of research and evidence. There is even a whole branch of psychology called <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy\">Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)<\/a> that is devoted to helping people challenge their unhelpful self talk.<\/p>\n<p>The psychologist Eric Berne created a framework that is very helpful when trying to shift your self talk as an actor. He defines 3 voices in our heads: the child, parent, and adult.<\/p>\n<p>Next time you\u2019re spiralling about your acting career, thinking things like \u201cWhat if I never book a job again?\u201d Start to filter it through the 5 types of voices outlined below. Which one is speaking to you?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Critical Parent<\/strong><br \/>This is the voice that attacks, judges and compares. The critical parent believes that criticism will protect you from painful situations (embarassment, failure) and it floods your nervous system, putting you on high alert. It\u2019s the voice that makes you self sabotage and shifts you into anxiety.It sounds like: \u201cYou\u2019re too fat, too old, not funny enough.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fearful Child<br \/><\/strong>This voice is wired for survival, and looks for danger focusing only on what could go wrong. Anxiety like this activates your threat response and takes you out of the creative state, unable to play or experiment. It\u2019s just a vocie that\u2019s trying to keep you safe. It\u2019s favourite catch phrase is \u201cWhat if?\u201d\u2026 It sounds like: \u201cWhat if I forget my lines? What if they black list me? What if I get dropped by my agent?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nurturing Parent<\/strong><br \/>The voice that soothes and calms us. It lowers the fear response and gives us clarity and comfort. Its the voice remind you you\u2019re capable, that you\u2019ve dealt with challenges before, and that you\u2019re worthy. Activate this voice to clear your mind and settle yourself. It sounds like: \u201cYou\u2019ve got this. Even if you don\u2019t book the job, you\u2019re still a great person and a great friend. You have something valuable to offer.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Playful Child<\/strong><br \/>This voice just wants to have fun. It\u2019s your joy, spontaneity and cheekiness. When you connect with this voice, your imagination soars and tension dissipates. The playful child is the one that says \u201cI don\u2019t care, how can I make this as fun as possible?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Adult<br \/><\/strong>This is the grounded, logical voice. The one that oversees all the other voices. It\u2019s the decision maker, line learner, and logical thinker. Think of it as the judge in the courtroom of your head, calling order when every other voice is shouting. When you activate this voice, it helps you move forward and take action. It sounds like \u201cWhich voice is speaking to me right now? How do I take the next logical step?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bryan Cranston on Auditions, Acting, Jealousy, and Working in Entertainment\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lVPxwh2UHOk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you need an example of positive self talk, listen to these two artists below describe how they speak to themselves and a mindset for success.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lady Gaga: \u2018You have to honor your work\u2019\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/544tY7nMwbo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Getting Out of a Motivation Rut as an Actor<\/h2>\n<p>All human beings are driven by motivation. This drive is to either move towards something, or away from something. External motivation is driven by something outside the self, like fame, money, reward of punishment. Internal motivation is driven by something inside us, to undertake something for our own satisfaction or because we enjoy or value it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not spending the time required for success on acting career, it may be driven by a desire to move away from negative experiences, like rejection or failure. The desire to avoid pain is a powerful motivator. It may also be because your motivation is <em>external, <\/em>like fame, looking impressive at your high school reunion, etc. You need to find positive internal motivation in order to move forward.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Find Your Why as an Actor<\/h3>\n<p>To make progress on your acting goals, you need to identify an <strong>internal motivator<\/strong> strong enough to keep you going after your goals, despite potentially painful experiences.<\/p>\n<blockquote wp_automatic_readability=\"9\">\n<p>The thing that I realised when I was in my late 20s is that \u2018Oh gosh, if I don\u2019t get my stuff together, I\u2019m not going to fulfil my potential as a human being.\u00a0 I think that started a path that I just every day I wake up and I try to be present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2013 Bradley Cooper<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bradley Cooper is motivated by his ability to fulfil his potential as a human being.

This is your north star, and should drive your action.<\/p>\n<h3>Identity Based Change for Actors<\/h3>\n<p>In his bestselling book <em>Atomic Habits<\/em> author James Clear outlines an <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesclear.com\/identity-based-habits\">identity-based system of behaviour change<\/a>. He argues that lasting change comes from <strong>creating a new identity<\/strong> as the type of person who does your desired behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <em>I\u2019m the type of person who proactively seeks out audition opportunities. <\/em>This is about putting the control back into your own hands. Toxic positivity is not the answer here. It\u2019s about realistic and grounded self reflection.<\/p>\n<blockquote wp_automatic_readability=\"8\">\n<p><span>\u201cEvery action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>How to Break Down Your Acting Goals<\/h3>\n<p>As an actor, it\u2019s so easy to look at a list of tasks you feel you should be doing (Get new headshots? Cut together a professional reel? Write a short film?) and become completely overwhelmed. Overwhelm will keep you stuck.<\/p>\n<p>To move through this, you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/goal-setting-for-actors\/\">break down your goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here, you need to get specific. Now, \u201c<em>I want to be in movies<\/em>\u201d is a wonderful aspiration but it\u2019s a terrible goal. Why? Because \u201cbeing in movies\u201d is not something you know how do on a day to day basis. With a goal like that guiding you, success feels impossible because from where you are now to where you want to be feels incredibly far away.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself: how do you become the type of person who would achieve the goals you have for yourself?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Step One: Name the goal you want to achieve<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Step Two: In a single sentence, write a description of the kind of person who would achieve that goal.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Step Three: List 5 tiny wins that can help you become this kind of person<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of what that might look like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Goal: In three years, I want to be starring in a sitcom that I\u2019ve written produced by HBO.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The type of person: A skilled actor and writer who is attractive to major networks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5 tiny wins:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Write a 1 minute character comedy skit to develop my style.<\/li>\n<li>Do an open mic night to test material and get my voice out there.<\/li>\n<li>Join a writer\u2019s group to begin drafting my script.<\/li>\n<li>Film a comedy self tape scene.<\/li>\n<li>Watch one episode of a sitcom on HBO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Get out of a Rut In Your Acting Skills<\/h2>\n<p>Your feeling of being stuck might stems from a stagnation in your acting skills. This has a relatively simple fix, but that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s easy! Your goal will be to develop the skills that you\u2019re currently lacking. There are many areas that this could apply to, but let\u2019s look at some examples.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical &amp; Craft Based Skills for Actors<\/h3>\n<p>Your rut may be that you are only booking one type of job (ie. commercials), or nailing one type of character in your work. The first step here is to get really specific about what skill you need to develop.<\/p>\n<p>This is where an outside eye can really help, and getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stagemilk.com\/should-i-get-an-acting-coach\/\">feedback on your work<\/a> is key. Working with a coach, acting teacher, or your agent can help you identify what\u2019s not quite there yet. Then, once you have identified the skills that need to be developed, you can take action.<\/p>\n<p>This might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Getting private coaching to work on your ability to access vulnerability<\/li>\n<li>Practicing comedy scripts to develop your comedic timing<\/li>\n<li>Spending time in front of the camera to help you shed on-camera awkwardness<\/li>\n<li>Signing up to a Meisner class to work on your listening skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Actors who stay developing their skills are the ones who book jobs, and the wonderful thing about this art form is that there is always something new to learn!<\/p>\n<h3>Business Skills for Actors<\/h3>\n<p>On the flip side, perhaps your craft is truly fantastic, but you\u2019re just not getting the opportunity to put those skills into practice. This requires a different sort of game plan, and we can once again look at an identity-based model of behaviour change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Goal: To get more audition opportunities and book more auditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The type of person: A confident and talented actor who is connected to industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5 tiny wins:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There you have it! This framework is applicable to any sort of skill development you need to undertake. The key for any change is to start small, be consistent, and work steadily over time. Your effort will be rewarded and you will be moving confidently in the direction of your dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Now you know that <strong>no matter what type of rut you\u2019re currently stuck in, there is a pathway out of it.<\/strong> Thank yourself for taking the time today to read this article.
