Shannon The Slayer - ACTORS, MINDSET, MOTIVATION FEAR FILM Studios Podcast Network

In this unique episode, we are switching things up and Asking The Mermaids for guidance.
Join in as we pull a card with a special message we all needed to hear today. "ASK FOR HELP". This seems simple enough, yet it can be one of the hardest things to ask for - especially as an actor.
Here are some possible reasons you might avoid reaching out to others for help.
As an actor, you are constantly feeling rejected in your craft, so why would you reach out for help to possibly be rejected again? People have probably let you down in the past and you're scared to seek help because of it. You don't want to impose and bring others down with your problems and concerns. You don't want to be a burden to others....
There are many reasons you might be scared to help, but there are people who love you and want to help in any way they can. You are strong, but there are times where you can't do everything alone. Surround yourself with people who support you, lift you up and will always listen with an open mind and heart.
Be well my creative friend. You are not alone and there is always help. You just have to ask!

WARNING: This is a "sh!tty" episode that will hopefully leave you ready to embrace the SH!T that comes your way no matter what the circumstance! Tune in, have fun and let's embrace this SH!T together!
Speaking of SH!T... What do you do when you feel like you end up in a storm that feels like it keeps getting worse? You know that things will pass and you will get through it, but how do you deal with it as an actor when you have so many different storms to deal with? You have a lot on your plate and it can be exhausting dodging all of the lightening bolts trying to strike you down.
It can be hard to deal with all the crap tossed you way, but one thing that has helped me over the years, is to let go and EMBRACE THAT SH!T! For when you finally just accept that this is a crappy moment in time that you need to experience in order to grow, that's when magic will happen my friend!
Don't let any crappy situation get you down. It will pass. But in the meantime, why not embrace what is happening in the moment to see what happens?

Are you tired of waiting around for the next filming project? Do you feel down in the dumps when you aren't getting any callbacks? Or maybe you feel frustrated because you are taking acting classes and doing all of this work, yet still aren't getting that "Booked It" call...
You have to submit a lot of auditions in order to book one gig, that's true in the entertainment industry. You win some and lose many. There's nothing wrong with that, but it can be a huge bummer that could deplete you of your energy and motivation to keep going as an actor.
So what do you do in the downtime? How about you use the time given to create something that inspires you as a performer? When you create your own content, you are not only letting the world see who you are and what you can do as a performer. You are putting on different hats and learning new skills that can be extremely beneficial to you in your career ahead.
Go forth and wait no more my friend. Have fun and start creating when you have some extra time on your hands.

Have you ever stopped what you were doing because you weren't seeing the results right away? Maybe you are trying to self market and no one is writing you back, so you start telling yourself "this is pointless, nobody responds anyways"... Or maybe you feel like your agent isn't getting you enough auditions, so you automatically put the blame on the fact that you're not getting enough opportunities - which means you can't go any further at the moment... Or maybe it is something else you are thinking that is holding you back from doing what you need to do for your career to move forward.
Self Sabotage is a gremlin that comes from fear. It's common and so many actors struggle with it in one form or another. Not everyone's version is the same, but it has the same effect - IT HOLDS YOU BACK FROM ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS.
Tune into today's episode as we snap out of the self sabotage monster once and for all!

You booked the gig? Congrats my friend! You should be super proud of yourself. You did the work and they chose YOU to play the role. That's HUGE!!! But What happens next?
If you are feeling some pre-acting jitters and your mind is going bonkers thinking about memorizing your lines and if you will be able to live up to everyone's expectations who booked you for this production, you're not alone.
9 times out of 10, us actors will start to second guess our skills and talents and it can cause a lot of stress before the production even begins. This is where you have to reassure yourself that you got this and they chose YOU and BELIEVE IN YOU to bring the character to life!
Let's dive into this episode of Shannon The Slayer, where we talk about what's next when you find out you're booked and confirmed to be on set to film.

Trophies are nice and all, but are they really worth it? As a former body builder, I would work hard to sculpt my body year round and chase a trophy because I thought it would make me feel more accomplished. When in all honesty, this chase did more harm than good for my mentality because my heart wasn't in it..
Trying to chase something that you think will make you feel better will never give you satisfaction. Sure it might give you a temporary high of achieving one of your goals, but if it isn't something you truly love to do, then chances are that it will hurt you more than anything.
No matter where you are on your journey, I encourage you to ask yourself if it's truly what you love to do. If you would be happy just showing up and giving it your all even if you get nothing in return, then you know you're heading in the right direction. But if you don't, then maybe it's time to stop the chase and switch your gears to find your true happy!
