It’s easy for anyone creative to feel like throwing in the towel, even if it’s just a temporary stop. However, we all usually find ourselves coming back to our passions. But the time taken away can be damaging. Keep finding new opportunities to get noticed. Drama clubs and classes. Whatever theatre you can get yourself into. Working alongside TV extras for smaller roles. Don’t knock away any opportunity to make yourself part of the business. All of it can help you better build your resume. Not only that, it helps you to hone your craft. The more opportunities you have to practice and to learn, the better your chances of being someone worth noticing.

You need to take the steps to make yourself a lot more noticeable and easy to get hold of. If a director or producer wanted to find you after seeing you in a theatre, would they be able to? Would they turned off or turned on by how they found you? Whether you have an agent or a website or both, they need to look the part as much as you. They need to give the impression of a professional, of someone who’s ready to work and serious about it. Relying on cheap signposting won’t do you any favours. Nothing in life is guaranteed, the same can definitely be said for getting spotted as an actor. However, even taking the steps mentioned above at least makes it clear how professional and driven you are. All you can do is keep increasing your chances of that day coming sooner rather than later.
