I recently came back to Texas after nearly four years away. Seeing familiar faces and locations provided some comfort, but it also brought to the surface many reminders of why I didn’t create the success I aimed to when I was acting professionally here from 2005-2015. So, my reflection on that decade has led me to create a list of do-overs for myself and mistakes for other actors to avoid doing in the first place.
10 Mistakes for Actors to Avoid
- Failure to train weekly
- Failure to effectively update marketing materials
- Failure to research resume formatting and terms
- Failure to research content creators
- Failure to earn adequate income
- Failure to identify suitable rolesĀ
- Failure to conceal commercial work
- Failure to create specific goals
- Failure to research success stories
- Failure to ask for help
