Grand Theft Auto Hamlet??!

Amazing way to change up the game. Yes please. Great example of actors making some diy, outside-of-the-stuffy-box art themselves.

Well done @pinnygrylls.bsky.social and @markoosterveen.bsky.social

If you ever want to become your own actor. In charge of your own destiny, not reliant on someone else picking you.

You must learn how to write. Learn how to give yourself a story, a character an action, learn how to get over your blocks, and create.

Actors Earnings:

Creating work:
>95%your fulfillment
<5% of your earnings (if your lucky)

Shitty draining work:
>95% of your earnings
<5% of your fulfillment

I hate this

Your side hustle isn't a fallback. It's leverage to make braver artistic choices

You feel like you don't know what you are doing even though you have been doing it for years

There's a name for that

The Expert's Underconfidence

(aka The Dunning-Kruger effect)

If thoughts are weightless

how come when i dump all of them onto a plain piece of paper

my brain feels lighter

Stealing will make you sensational

1. Who's your favorite actor (e.g. Jim Carey)

2. Pin point exactly what it is that get's you buzzed about them (e.g. fucking mad believable choices)

3. Steal it for your next self tape (e.g. I will make one fucking mad choice believable choice)

Your muse will save your life

When you find them - the person who loves your shit and is like "youre awesome. youre just awesome" - who you know believes in you and what you create.

Keep them close.

Mine got me through more dark nonsense than I can shake a stick at

Two useful phrases for actors in a pickle

For when you're on set:

"I don't know"

For when the little fucking wanker in your brain is forcing you to second guess every. single. tiny decision up to and including whether or not you should eat toast or porridge before a selftape:

"I don't care"

Every. Single. Actor.

Should learn SELF DIRECTION

3 years of drama school
and I left without a bloody clue
(our job is to "take direction well")

I had years wanting to be told what to do
before finally realising the truth

You don't need them
You are enough

Direct yourself = Power

In the face of everyone telling you it can't be done

You stared back and said

"Yeh.

But I'm going to do it anyway.

I must"

When you feel scared and small (i feel it all the time)

Remember:

You are founded on risk, bravery and defiance.

You are awesome.

Fuck the non beleivers
