3 Proven Strategies to Get More Auditions
Ever feel like you’re waiting around for that perfect acting role, but nothing’s really happening? I’ve been there, and I know how frustrating it can be. But here’s the thing: actors who succeed aren’t waiting for luck—they’re out there creating their own opportunities. It’s all about shifting your mindset. I’m talking about building an achiever’s mindset, focusing on the business side of acting, and mastering the art of pitching yourself. When you take control of your career, amazing things start to happen. Let’s talk about how you can make that shift!
Why Actors Should Ditch Websites and Embrace EPKs
I often hear actors talk about how important it is to have a personal website. But here’s the thing—I’ve found that it’s not always the best move. Instead of spending time on a website, I discovered that creating an Electronic Pitch Kit (EPK) is way more effective. An EPK lets you showcase your best work in a focused way, without the distractions that a website can bring.
Switching to an EPK has made a big difference for me, and it might be just what you need too.
