Here’s an essential key to success: Support your fellow actors!
Categories: Acting Tips, Casting Directors
The other day I received a notice from an actor I used to work with, about a one woman show she has been putting on. I’ve seen it once before and was wowed. I would love to see her perform again, partially because it was so good and also just to support her.
Acting is sometimes a lonely occupation. And it’s definitely an occupation that is easy to give up on and leave behind when things aren’t going your way.
But when they are going your way, all you really want to do is share that joy with your fellow actor friends. We all need support in life’s difficult pursuits and acting is no different.
Words of praise make a big difference. It pushes you to keep going. You also realize that you’re not on this journey alone. So when a friend is in a play, make sure you go. Tune in on whatever night your friend has a walk on role on a television series. Go see the film your acting classmate has a small role in and stay through the credits to cheer him or her on.
Simple acts like that mean the world to struggling actors. Sending a quick email or text afterwards takes so little time but makes such a difference.
Remember what those words of support have meant to you and pass it forward. We all need each other in this difficult industry.

Ithink that it is so impo\rtNT TO HAVE COMRADERIE AND backing from your fellow supporters. This area is difficult enough. We need to help each other succeed.
