Acting : 1 Thing That Helped Me Stay Sane In This Absolutely Crazy Acting World by Aaron Marcus

This is so true. I struggled dealing with rejection for over a decade. Finally I started understanding why it was taking a toll on me. It was not something I did purposefully but just happened. I just pondered over why I chose this profession over other professions and the answer is I enjoy living different lives,when I get an audition I put my focus on living that character no matter how others perceive my performance or no matter if I get the role or not. If I get rejected I tell myself that I'm done for the day,it's time to play a different role. Variety drives me. I'm sure if actors give more importance to their motive behind choosing the profession than booking the role itself it will help them mentally and also the confidence that they will portray will make them get roles easily. Needy energy is not attractive. Also there is so much more to life than a role. Hope this helps at least one of them.

Hi Sujata, I can't tell you how much I loved what you said. You are very wise. Congratulations on making that discovery for yourself. I really believe that not knowing how to best deal with rejection is the major reason for so many talented people dropping out of the industry.

What types of projects do you find yourself mostly working on?
