Monday Myth Debunkers: If Your Role Has Been Cut…

And rememberโ€ฆ this is a Monday MYTH Debunker ๐Ÿ˜‰ So weโ€™re calling bluff on not putting earned roles on your resume!โ 
โ 
There are (2) different situations at hand here. โ 
โ 
1. You auditioned for the role, booked the role, shot the role and the role was left on the cutting room floor. โ 
โ 
In this situation, you earned that credit on your resume. You may not get on-screen credit, but that doesnโ€™t mean you shouldnโ€™t get credit for your experience. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐—ป-๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.โ 
โ 
2. You auditioned for the role, booked the role but then the role got cut before you even walked on set. โ 
โ 
This one is a real bummer. Technically, you probably wouldnโ€™t list this one on your resume because it didnโ€™t equate to on-set experience. Do you deserve to #treatyoself for booking the role AND the room? ๐˜ผ๐™—๐™จ๐™ค-๐™›๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ-๐™ก๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ก๐™ฎ. Bravo!โ 
โ 
Unfortunately, roles get cut in the editing room all the time. Itโ€™s a completely normal part of the TV/filmmaking process and roles get cut for numerous reasons that have nothing to do with you (the most common reason being time). โ 
โ 
Whichever your scenario is, take the time to recognize your achievement and congratulate yourself. Youโ€™ve done something right and it was noticed. โ
