Hello much neglected blog page, how are you?
I've spent the last couple of months having a bit of a think about what I want to do with myself. I originally set up this blogging page to document life as an Actor and I think the general gist of that has been I never have any money and actually the reality of trying to follow your dreams is actually very difficult and filled with much disappointment and hardship. That sounds incredibly cynical, but unfortunately that has been much of my experience, in the acting world. It seems to be if you want paid work, it will mainly be rubbish paid work, and if you want to be in good stuff you will have to do it for free/profit share...and unfortunately I can not afford to do that. Sooo i had to make a decision a decision based on whether I am happy with my current situation, whether I can carry on living my life like this and what I would like my future to look like. The answer to these questions has lead me to the following conclusion...I love acting, and DO NOT want to give it up however I can not afford/want to live the lifestyle of an actor...so i have decided to make a change and the change involves the following:
a) I would like to do a PGCE, and train to be a drama teacher...a bit scary but at least it will allow me to earn a decent wage, should i want to, and give me an extra string to my bow.
b) I'm going to create my own work, me and a friend have set up a youtube channel and we are going to start uploading videos very soon. They will be comedy videos, and we that people will enjoy them our name is wellybean flowerpot so watch this space.
c) I'm writing a play. And hope for it to be...good.
Yes so these are the career updates, so with a deep breath...here I go.
