Hi! I meant to make a post for awhile but I finally got to it. I’m Haley. For the past month (and a half now), I’ve been learning about the business side of the entertainment industry, as well as signing up for as many free classes as possibly (including acting). One day I want to be on the biggest streaming networks to sell my show ideas to, and hopefully (like any actors dream) to be big.
I knew from a very young age that I didn’t belong in a small town in Oklahoma where everything’s depressing, where we barely have resources, and we have little to no chance of success, a challenge I decided to take up on c:
Life unfortunately happens and you don’t get to your full potential because of that (low self esteem, confidence, bad anxiety), because that’s what happened to me. The one thing that has always made me happy and creative, as well as use my imagination and never felt judged, was coming up with stories or watching them.
I hope to meet many amazing people!
Thank you for sharing your story Nicolette Smith! Stay creative, always :) And congrats on learning the business side of entertainment! Very few artists take the time to do that, and it is SO important!
I love your energy and your attitude, Nicolette Smith! The key to so much in life is not being reactionary but visionary, and you've knocked that out of the park! You should definitely check out the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) to meet like-minded creatives, and from all over the world! As you can imagine, there have been more than a few discussions about improving one's self-tape game, so maybe we can help elevate your craft from right where you are! Actually, I'd love for you to start a post sharing how you model from home. Are you learning cinematography as well? How cool!
We also have more than a few webinars for actors, and this one on self-taping is excellent: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/Actors-A-Casting-Director-Shares-How-to...
Keep at it and I'll see you in the Lounges!
