Sustainability for Auditions

Video Transcript

"ATHENA REICH: In this clip, I'm going to talk about sustainability, how to not burn out. Auditioning, no one said it's easy and no one said it's going to be fun every day. Sure, sometimes you get that little adrenaline thrill after an audition but honestly, nobody gets every audition that they go to. It's just so competitive, there's so much talent, and you're just not going to be fit right. First of all, no, that they don't always take the best auditioner; they take the person who fits the role the best, who everyone on the panel can agree on. So, you might have two out of five people thinking you're the best and then but there's two other people who love someone else. So, it's really not--you can't take it personally. So, you can't burn out. Get a good support system around you, a good support network of friends, try and live in a moment and do it because you love it. Don't expect too much. Think of this as a really long-term process and just do whatever you can to keep it sustainable and do it long-term. Don't give up."
