If you knew you were 100 rejections away from doing what you love, would you give up? Or would you keep going? Personally, I’d keep going.

Don't ever give up on your dreams.🙏🏽✨️

What I hate are these online ads saying people are looking for actors and extras and they show high wages just for extras . Then when you check out their site , you seem to find out it's a scam because they have prices on how much you pay them for getting an audition .

this is interesting and happy holidays i hope i can make it to hollywood because i am a talented writer , i never been to california but i hope next year which is a few days away, can finally happen. having no job is depressing but that will all change.

I’m so used to rejection now when I was younger I got everything I went for so it’s the mindset plus the universe teaching me a lesson to work harder which iv no problem with doing to achieve my goals . Hope everyone is doing great in their own goals 😊

Its not a dream anymore its a goal

MATTHEW 15 11 KJV THAT WHICH COMETH OUT OF THE MOUTH DEFILETH A MAN THOSE WHO'S NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE WERE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE FOREVER KJV

2 THESSALONIANS 1:6 KJV

This is so comforting to hear. Just to know that even successful people struggle. Everyone goes through it

Mandy Moore might be the dumbest one here when it comes to the industry (or lying to feel better about herself)

If you love it keep doing it, the passion IS the gift

Id love to have a second part to this video with more actors!!

This helps thanks for this

I’m a junior in High school as an Officer in ROTC with a big shot for the United States Naval Academy but I’m also the president of my theatre program and star in every play that I do and I love both things and I want to be an actor but I’m so scared that it’s not going to work out witch is why the Naval Academy is my plan but I feel like I’m going to get in the military and just regret not trying to get into acting and just think maybe just maybe I could have made it and right now idk what I want to do and it’s eating at me and I’m getting closer and closer till graduation

I had a manager who told me years ago, when it comes to this business you have to "enjoy the ride," and don't focus so much on the end result because none of us know what the future holds, but we do have our present treks that we're making to get there.

This was GREAT, great and GREAT advice!!!!! I forwarded this to my fellow acting school classmates.

You know for almost a month now I hesitated watching this video, not because of fear but for the prolonged duration. Glad I'm getting into it now. Truly, surely, grateful spending my time understanding all of this support.

DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE THEY THAT LOVE IT SHALL EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF PROVERBS 18:21 KJV

As a person who was born with a vision disability, it never ceases to amaze me that all those able bodied, good looking wannabe actors get such a shock when they get so many rejections despite their talents. Unlike Corporate America (or Australia where I come from), directors don't really care how many years they've done the same thing over and over again. People fail to realise that the vast majority of those who made it big had many rejections and failed auditions, no matter how good their acting was. Unfortunately some good looking people cheat their way into acting through modelling, and there is also a bit of nepotism, but that one only applies to a small percentage.

Summary of tips (still watching, some stuff may repeat because information may relate to more than 1):

1) You need to have some level of confidence. If you don't start out with it immediately then fine, but you HAVE to develop confidence, or you will seriously struggle.

2) Luck is a massive factor, you can put in all the training in the world and still struggle to make a big break.

3) You need to constantly be practicing. Although luck is an important factor, if you have nothing to show for it then it doesn't matter, so make sure you dedicate proper time into acting, because it's hard if you don't take it seriously.

4) There is a whole lot of doing absolutely nothing. You can spend months looking for work and not getting anything, even some of the best actors can struggle to find work, you just have to keep applying and keep practicing in that time.

5) Linking with some of the above points, you've got to get out there and audition. If all you do is practice, but don't really look that hard for auditions, you are not going to get anything, you need to be able to just accept that you're going to get rejected a lot and keep applying.

6) If you aren't able to push through most of the negative of acting, which most of them have said there's a lot, or you don't have an alternative way to feel fulfilled like a hobby, then you should just give up because there is so much negativity in the industry that if it's too much for you then the positive isn't going to be as enjoyable, and at that point, why are you even acting?

7) It is an incredibly competitive industry, far more than most.

8) You are going to receive a massive amount of negative feedback, or none at all, you need to be able to turn criticism into something constructive, and then focus on making those changes without feeling anxious or upset that somebody didn't like how you did it (This is mostly my own point, but there were quite a few of them in the vid that made comments like this)
