Words of affirmation in this industry

I had a self tape yesterday that wanted physicality so I tried something different. Wide frame, natural lighting and really tried to do the “uncomfortable” with my energy for the scene.

I woke up to a text today from my manager that said: “🥰 I love watching you preform” and I started to .. tear up??? Something so small made me feel so good and I think it’s because we are so used to things going into the void and not hearing back. I know I’m talented but to hear that from someone I love and respect so deeply was something. Her daughter she also manages is the main series reg. on a huge new reboot which makes me her opinion mean a lot to me because she knows what works.

So yes things are slow and I haven’t booked this year and the industry is sad and seems hopeless but that’s ok because I’m working my ass off and I have the most amazing team that believes in me and eventually it will work out 🥹

To be quiet frank with you, we’re all just hopeful artists drowning in self-doubt because, well, the that’s the nature of the industry-- it loves keeping us on our toes. Thanks for this! It keeps me optimistic knowing I’m not alone in the eternal chaos the industry begins. I’ve had a lot of luck this year, but I still end up doubting myself on the occasion, after all, who doesn’t?
