General Talk No. 1 - The Usual I must start by saying that this is indeed the usual, but only for a group of people. This group of people live in a world of rejection, exhaustion, and crappy part time jobs. If they are lucky enough to work, that work is nearly always temporary, and then they are back to square one again. Unless they are one of the lucky ones, it's a vicious cycle for the entirety of their career. Actors are a funny bunch. I speak as an aspiring one. They spend so much of their time trying and trying for work, and they could be the most talented and inspirational one of them all, and still not get any work. They are discriminated almost daily by their appearance - a fact that in nearly any other profession would not be permitted. But they accept this as part of the industry. If a casting director is looking for a 5"2 ginger man, they're not going to take a 6" man with brown hair. This is because the industry is saturated. Normally when something is saturated, no more is added to it. But this just does not work in the acting industry. Every year more and more fresh-faced new actors leave training to join an industry that is already bursting at the seams. What's more, some actors do not train at all and just jump straight in. Whilst this is wonderful for them if they can find work, it makes it even harder for trained actors. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for people going straight into the industry without training. If they think they're ready, or can't find training, fine. In fact, whilst having professional training will never put you at a disadvantage, neither may not having training. It is all role-dependent and how you perform at those crucial auditions.It's a funny career, talent is a lot more fickle than perhaps some people realise. This may be complete rubbish, I'm writing it after being rejected from yet another drama school. Whether that's affecting my writing at all I have no idea. And to tell the truth, I don't particularly care.

@josephpaterson where have you applied to so far? And if you don't get into any, you can try again next year. My teacher said it was easier after a year or so 😊
