An Idea To Move You

Rejection in any creative art, especially acting, comes in both micro and macro forms.
​
The micro is not booking a gig, not hearing back from an agent after an inquiry, sailing countless outreach emails into the ether without a gig to show for it (yet, or in a drought), the close-but-no-cigar shortlists, the $200 award submissions that go unnominated, and on and on...
​
The macro is, after experiencing the relentless macro rejections, the feeling that maybe The VO Industry is rejecting you. And that feeling only exists inside you. Nowhere else. The industry didn't get together this week and vote you off the voiceover island.
​
The micro rejections are out of your control. The macro: completely within your control.

A Thought to Touch You*
