Actress Post #7 - The Point of Acting Part 2

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm having doubts. How can I continue to afford these acting coach lessons? How can I possibly have enough time to work on my craft, my music, my dance when I'm constantly chasing a four year old around, working a full time job, barely getting enough sleep, let alone getting all the laundry done, and so on and son on and so on, ad nauseam. I'm feeling 'overwhelmed' is an understatement! Maybe I'm crazy and I'm still trying to pursue a path that's closed its door to me many, many years ago. If I'm not performing now, and I didn't move to NYC at 26 when I had the chance, and I'm still dreaming about performing more than doing it then maybe I'm just a dreamer, not a doer, and I need to stop pretending that things are ever going to be any better, and just accept that this is as good as it gets!

I knew I wasn't ready for Los Angeles although I did consider it. I just knew I needed to get out of this small town and try, really try to make something more of myself. To follow the dreams that had been nagging and tugging at me my entire life. The Artist's life. I thought, "this is my big chance"...and I couldn't have been more wrong...more on that later. So I am back at the beginning. That 2 year old son is now 15 and so much has changed, especially me. Among the turmoil,

  "This time displacement, this movement of time, and situation, and surrounding, creates the 'what if' and it's the 'what if' is the key to the hearing aspects of storytelling. You know when Einstein asked how to create clever children he told them "They must listen to stories." And then they said yeah but how do you make them really clever like you? And he said "tell them to listen to more stories." Because its the 'what if'. You've got to have the eureka. The 'what if' moment comes from the unknown and the new possibility. So you only get that through being told things that you haven't perceived before, that you've got no awareness of."
