Sometimes things do not turn out as planned. As obvious as this is, when the evidence starts to accumulate this statement might just be the only accurate summation possible. I have trained hard to learn my craft as an actor. Not just talk the talk, but put on the shoes and walk in them for many miles. So, this week I got an audition, went for it, booked it...and then got unbooked the next day. Reason? Wrong gender. No apology necessary.
Was I planning on booking? Yes. Did anything else line up as planned? Not even close. What can I do? Carry on with my plan to train hard and book bigger and bigger jobs. As for when or how? I have a preference, but in the grand scheme of things that counts for little. I'll put it out there though. I'm looking for a shot at actor gigs, principal roles, leads, guest stars and recurring series regulars. 1,2,3, audition!
