Mark from San Antonio writes: "...I had the help of my acting coach to tape this, but I’d really love to get your critique of  this.

So, You want to be an Actor? Air Date:  August 25, 2022 Occasionally, I receive an email or reply from the website form saying something like the following. “I want to be an actor because it is what I’ve always dreamed of.” Then, the writer of this letter adds, “but I do not know how to start and there are no opportunities where I’m from”.  When I get this kind of correspondence, my first reaction is sadness for the author. Somehow, they feel stuck or uninspired to find a way to act on their dreams (pun intended). This episode is for everyone who has a dream but finds it hard to embrace the reality that acting as a profession takes hard work, determination, creativity, and support from others. Having the dream is great. Turning the dream into positive motivational steps is the best way to make the dream a reality. So, you want to be an actor?

It’s an uncomfortable moment for everyone. It got me to thinking about what actors think casting is thinking!
