The journey begins

I had no idea there was so much to learn about acting.  The craft of it.  I’m surprised at myself for this.  I am usually so obsessive about learning, reading books, doing everything I can to add to my knowledge.  I took classes long ago and now with only a small foray into the texts available I am horrified at how little those classes offered.  And a little sad that it has taken me this long to make this discovery.

I knew I had a lot to learn about the business of acting (hello Hollywood) and even the craft, and yet I was not prepared for scope of the task I find before me.  I moved to Los Angeles a little over four months ago to pursue my dream of making my living through acting.  It was a big step for me and I knew I had many more steps before me.  I moved even though I wasn’t ready.  And I’ve made the transition harder for myself thanks to some old patterns I haven’t quite released yet.  I’m even having trouble finding my voice for this post.  I guess that’s all part of the journey I’m on.

I have put myself on this path and discovered it richer and more inviting than I first thought.  I hope that I can share the things I learn in such a way that helps others on this path.
