REMEMBER, ACTING IS A JOB, PART 1: WHO YOU ARE VS. WHAT YOU ARE
I’ve written before about how easily actors and artists entwine their sense of identity with their art. But I think it’s easy to say “Remember it’s a job,” and a lot harder to understand what that means and why it’s important to keep in mind. In this two-part series, I want to talk about why treating acting like the career it is is essential for the
health of both the artist and the art.

HOW TO ‘SLEEP’ ON THE JOB
