Hey there, hero!

It seems like almost everyone, at some point, gets the urge to become a performer.

They look at the fame, the money, the autograph seekers and just how easy it is and those are just their first four incorrect assumptions.

Maybe you made some of those. Some rules you thought were true. Some shortcuts you thought might work.

And then, they, and you, were likely introduced to actual harsh reality. Ugh.

Building a performer's practice is filled with mirrors and smoke and distortion fields, and once your assumptions are challenged, and you realize that there's a lot of hard work and some amount of luck involved in changing things up, you might need some serenity to accept that.

And maybe, that you simply can't change what can't be changed, even though you thought it could.

Have you experienced this? Anything you thought was true but wasn't? How did you handle that? With serenity? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Creative types have no guarantees.

Actors, voice talent, writers...have no tried and true template to follow for success.

Almost everything about our journey is unknown. We have no idea what's coming.

And that can be scary. It can be frustrating. It can be daunting.

But...it is heroic. Not everyone can do it.

But you can.

And I want to thank you for being heroic.

Give me your thoughts on being a hero (which you are!) in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

That moment before you launch into a pickup sets the scene for how that pickup goes.

And it needs to match the original voice work in terms of tone, energy, emotion and volume.

And if your feelings, your mouth, your face or anything else is affected by that frustration or anger, or somehow isn't keyed to the lovely and unique moment that the content occurs, that will change, sometimes drastically, how that pickup comes out.

And that can lead to even more frustration, and less accuracy on your pickups.

Just take a moment. Don't jump right in to your pickup. You've got all the time in the world, and that extra moment will save you many moments when doing your pickup work.

Do you find this happening to you? How do you deal with pickup frustration? Let me know in the comments below.
