Every actor faces rejection at least a few times (usually way more) throughout their career. So my question is, what are some ways of dealing with rejection? Whether it’s listening to a favorite song or punching a pillow, everyone has some way of dealing, so what are a few that have worked repeatedly for some of you?
Learn from the rejection! Do things differently. Try alternate monologues, wear different outfits, get coaching. Don’t keep doing the same thing over and over again. If it isn’t working than mix it up and try something new.
Also find your “brand” if you keep getting cast as the dumb blonde, than know that is a role you can get work from. The difficult part comes when you want to expand yourself. You may have to learn to act all over again, and will have to make some drastic changes in order to diversify your parts.
