10 ways an actor can feel

A guide by mindset coach Shannon Bills

Being an actor is not a glamorous life. But you know what feels glamorous? Seeing the opportunity in your desires. Not playing it “safe” by going after jobs you think you should have to make your family happy… because you’re going after something that lights you up. You are following your dreams. Not many people can do that. But here you are, doing it!
I know this industry can feel draining. I was an actor for over 10 years of my life and worked as a casting associate the last seven years.
