Stuff drama school never taught me: how to wait. tax returns. how to feel like a worthy human wen not workin. that ur agent wrks 4 u. wivu. that ur agent is a human. how to drink more water than coffee in rehearsals. that reading reviews is basically selfharm, even wen good.
how to wait. that the plays the thing, not ur ego. that actors are sensitive beings &wonderful weirdos. that ppl behave verrry wild wen they're scared. that percy pigs are essential4the crew during a tech. that having a life separate from wrk is vital. how to go get a life.
how to wait. that casting directors or assistant directors *hate* reading in auditions, especially Shakespeare, so they'll probs jump lines¬ look at u&be a bit weird&stuff. how to handle massive financial insecurity stress. how to meditate. how 2set intentions 4each project.
how to protect urslef wen ur feeling wonky. how to wait. that actors are *not* the most important ppl in the room. in any room. ever. that directors feel like frauds sometimes too. that all ur weird ugly vulnerble squidgy sweaty bits r actly the bits we connect to. how to let
urself be seen. how to wrap urself back up afterwards. how to handle adrenaline spikes sober. how to avoid social media shit. how to avoid dating ova actors. how to smile wen ur fam say stupid stuff like "omg i dunno how u learnt all those lines?!" how to love ur fam. how2b nice2
ur mate who was shit in a great play, or great in a shit play, or shit in a shit play. how to not feel like a dick at press night partys. how to kiss someone u do not like on stage every night.
how to wait. how to not miss it all so fucking terribly wen its not happening. waiting skills. trusting skills. patience skills. how to wait.
