We’re now over halfway through 2021, so it’s time to re-evaluate some of goals for the year. At the beginning of January I had eleven things I wanted to accomplish over the year, now I can look at how many of those goals I’ve accomplished so far, what’s left on my to-do list, and whether I really want to finish them.

In my 2021 Goalsetting for Actors post, I mentioned my “20 Minute Rule”. This is one weapon I use in the war against procrastination. Today, I bequeath that weapon to you, that you might use it to vanquish your procrastination foe.

The reason why I love spreadsheets is simple: I can keep track of data and use it to make informed choices about my career. Every single time I needed to make a big acting career choice, a spreadsheet had my back. So what are some of these different ways an actor can use spreadsheets? I’ll tell you seven!

As I’ve developed as an actor and spent countless hours auditioning and taking scene study classes, I’ve stopped worrying about memorizing my lines. I now have a technique that gets me reliable, consistent results.

It can be easy to think that needing someone’s help means that you’re weak or insufficient in some way, but having someone support you and keep you accountable to your goals is nothing to be ashamed of! Humans are social creatures; we’re wired to seek the support and encouragement of others, whether they’re a cheerleader or a mentor.

How do you know if a coach is any good, or if they’re not the right fit for you? Or even worse, if they’re scamming you. This post will walk you through how to figure out what to look for in a coach.

It’s difficult to set up a savings plan when you don’t have a reliable income stream, but the tips and strategies in this article will help you squeeze as many dollars as you can out of each paycheck to help you pay yourself first and meet your savings goals.

Producing an audiobook is a lot of work, and for those who are still learning their workflow, it can become overwhelming quickly. With this post, I’ll explain how I set my audiobook production goals and limits.

You’ve decided it’s time to set some acting goals. Excellent! But how do you set goals you’re excited to accomplish? Ones that you know you can finish once your burst of motivation is over?

A common saying in the acting business is “your job isn’t booking the role, your job is auditioning”, and it’s true. You’ll spend more time auditioning for projects than you will working on projects. Working as an actor is a numbers game and the more you audition, the higher your chances of getting into the booth, on set, or on the stage.

It’s often said that in order to make it in show business, you’ve gotta know someone. An agent can be that someone, but how do you know which agent to sign with?

Tax season is fast approaching, and while many actors feel overwhelmed and intimidated by it, it doesn’t have to be as scary as you may think it is. Filing your self-employment income can be painless! No more digging for receipts! No more tearing your hair out, hoping you won’t get audited!

Voice acting is more than just speaking into a microphone or making funny voices. It’s about maintaining your body as an instrument and building your business. In order to make sure you can spend long hours in the booth (and get enough jobs to actually get into it), you need to have healthy behaviours that give you the strength, endurance, and flexibility you need.

I believe the first step in goal setting is knowing what fulfills and drives you.

Knowing the reason why you are driven helps you set goals that actually fulfill you.
