So you lose a few auditions...
So what?
I have over 1500 pofessional credits. And since actors usually lose 4 out of 5 auditions, by average I must have lost out on 7500 other ones.
And you want to quit after losing 1 or 2? 3 or 4? 10 or 20?
If you don't get work after 6 months...remarket. THERE ARE JOBS OUT THERE!
You are great because God may you so...never for get that!
