It is very important to look at your career as a marathon race and not a sprint.  It is something you invest in and nurture, something that takes patience and hard work.
Beth Maitland and I have written a great deal about having yourself set up to weather your first year in Hollywood.  Good planning will take care of most problems.It’s not about booking one specific job.  It’s about looking at your career as an ongoing project.
In our Master Class, Beth and I are always amazed at the students who want to know if they were good enough to book that job, the part we were working on that week.  We have to constantly remind our students that your ultimate goal is not that part.  It is a career.  If you look at each audition with the idea that it’s an opportunity to meet someone new, impress someone you haven’t before, show them the best possible “you”, the importance of booking that job lessens.  It’s not the ultimate goal of the audition.  Now, don’t misunderstand – we encourage everyone to book jobs, but the way to do that is to be free enough to show them how you would do it, now how you think they’d want it done.
