The Value of a Body of Work

Okay, so I was reading an actress' blog. I wont tell you which one, mostly because I forget her name. But she is on the office, if that matters.

But her best advice, is that your first priority, in year one of your acting career, shouldn't be to seek out an agent, or to be searching for the great gigs or even paying gigs. Your first job should be to build a body of work. She says that her total income in her first year of acting was about $100.

So keep that in mind. Sometimes its more important to expand your craft, than it is to jump right into a role and try to get paid.
