Acting : How to Have a Healthy Relationship with Criticism of Your Art/Work by Maurice Vaughan

Loved that post! Thanks.

You're welcome, Fran Harris.

Fran Harris, if you have any thoughts or questions for the author, Mihaela, or if you just want to leave them some love, be sure to comment on the blog post itself! It really is such a great read!

Love it :)

Thanks, Maurice. This is always something artists and creators have to manage. I once had a mentor tell me that when people throw popcorn at the screen it means they are watching. For some reason that's always made me feel better.

You're welcome, Sam Sokolow. "I once had a mentor tell me that when people throw popcorn at the screen it means they are watching." That's a great point. They could just turn off the TV or leave the theater, but they stay and watch. That must mean they like something about the show or movie.

It can be really hard to receive criticism as creatives, but even if I don't agree... I usually find that even helpful. Thanks for sharing the article!

You're welcome, GiGi Raines. I'm the same way. I find criticism helpful even if I don't agree with it. And sometimes I think criticism isn't helpful, but I keep looking at it and see something that'll help.

Great share Maurice, thank you. It is really important to be able to hear critiques, even if you don't agree, not just throw up walls and defenses.

You're welcome, Niki H. Yeah, throwing up walls and defenses can really hinder an actor's growth (or writer, director, etc.) when they get criticism.
