Acting is an Exhausting Career
from The Aligned Actor Hosted by Amy Schloerb 🎭
Acting is a unique career that requires A LOT of energy. Sure, it’s fun to play characters expressing all kinds of emotions, but it’s also exhausting. Not to mention the 4:30am call times and overnight shoots. Additionally, many of us have full time jobs in addition to our full time career, and we all have general life stuff going on too. That’s a lot to juggle! We need energy for our FULL Actor Life. Otherwise, how will we turn in a kickass self-tape after a long day of work and parenting and all the other stuff we have going on? This week I invite you to take some time to acknowledge everything going on in your life — everything that requires your physical and mental energy. "What’s on Your Plate?" This exercise will help you acknowledge everything you have going on in your life. * What are you doing regularly? What are your responsibilities? What do you need energy for? Where is your energy going? * What’s stressing you out? What are your sources of stress? What’s weighing on your heart and/or mind? You can get a print out here. This is a public episode.
