So the director for one of the shows I interviewed saw that I had kept people updated on my audition progress yesterday and commented on my status that informed everyone "no callback. next time!" saying, "hang in there, Katie. You have the best attitude in all the land!" That made me feel so good. :)
I'll be honest. Sometimes, I get down on myself when it comes to rejection from roles. It's something I need to work on. I start to wonder if what I want to do is what I really should be doing. Is all the time I put into studying the craft worth it? Am I good enough?But then I see comments like that and I think "maybe I am good enough. Maybe the time I put into studying this really is worth it. I really can do this."
The negative thoughts of "am I good enough?" "Is it worth it?", while normal, aren't the best thoughts I could be thinking. Instead, I need to work on reminding myself that rejection is part of the business. It's part of the world in general. It's nothing against me. I just didn't fit the image the director had in his/her head and there's not really much I can do about it with the exception of changing how I look completely. I can't please everyone no matter how hard I try. I need to remind myself of these things before the negative thoughts come.
