<div>It’s the first day of Spring y’all & it’s also 🎉MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉 To honour *finally* entering the last year of my 20s, I wanted to share 29 things I have learned as an actor so far: <br>
<br>
1. Everything passes<br>
2. If you ever need the toilet on set ask to go for a “10-1” (ten, one)<br>
3. You can feel so alone sometimes, but all actors want to be seen. None of us is alone in that<br>
4. The nerves never go away<br>
5. Things happen in the time they are supposed to<br>
6. Collaboration is the true gift of this industry<br>
7. There is no such thing as a bad offer in a rehearsal space<br>
8. No one will give a sh*t about that hair that’s out of place in your headshot<br>
9. Nothing is ever as it seems, be open to everything<br>
10. An agent should feel like a teammate<br>
11. Being an actor is the best job in the world, but it’s not the most interesting thing about you<br>
12. Downstage means the front of the stage. Upstage means the back of the stage<br>
13. Being number 1 on the call sheet is a huge honour but an immense responsibility<br>
14. Be kind to everyone. Not because you don’t know where they’ll end up, but because you don’t want to be an a$$hole<br>
15. That thing you’re struggling with now will seem so easy one day soon comparatively<br>
16. Direction is not a personal attack, take it<br>
17. Fretting about an audition won’t change the outcome<br>
18. There are worse things than being ‘out of work’<br>
19. This is a people business and some of the most amazing people are in this business<br>
20. Touring is gruelling, pack a solid survival kit of home comforts<br>
21. No one ever misses a job because they took a holiday<br>
22. You might have to miss a holiday to take a job though<br>
23. You always have more to learn about the craft of acting<br>
24. The work you make with friends is the best kind<br>
25. There is no shame in working a muggle job<br>
26. Every life experience you have is preparing you for some role, someday<br>
27. A great teacher/mentor is invaluable<br>
28. You deserve to be in every audition you’re called in for<br>
29. Life is short, don’t neglect the other parts<br>
<br>
Have a beautiful week! And some cake - we celebratin' x</div>
