194 - Actors Get A Raw Deal

The last time I got a rejection, I thought 'at least I'm not an actor'. By that, I meant as a visual artist I probably won't have to apply and be rejected for as often as an actor. And for me the very idea of having to perform on command gives me chills! 

Actors have my full admiration for their incredible ability to adapt and be flexible.

So I was open to advice on 'how to handle rejection' in this podcast produced by Movement Coach and Director Sarah Perry. I met Sarah many years ago at one of my 'Cartoon Figure Drawing' sessions. She attended because one of her specialisms is coaching actors to move for animation and that was the theme of our meetups. She's been working in the same area for many years now and really knows her stuff.

She is a great presenter too.

Macmillan Cancer Support

This year I challenged myself to write one blog post per day, for 365 days. The project began on 3 March 2025.

I have linked this challenge to a charity fundraiser, because I want to look outside as well as inwards and contribute to society. It also holds me accountable and adds motivation to write everyday.

Macmillan is an organistation that offers powerful help to anyone (in the UK) who has been affected by cancer.
