Double-tap if youโ€™ve ever heard the amount of submissions a CD gets only for it to cause your stomach to churn. โ

And understandably, numbers can sound overwhelming and even make you feel small. โ 
โ 
So letโ€™s talk about different numbers today.โ 
โ 
Letโ€™s talk about the numbers that actually ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ.โ 
โ 
How many of those submissions (especially for smaller roles) are filled with trained actors who have materials that showcase their strongest abilities?โ 
โ 
How many of those actors who do get auditions are highly direct-able, pleasurable to work with and whose training has become so second nature, that their ability to break down and dissect a script in order to make smart, appropriate choices come naturally to them?โ 
โ 
Letโ€™s just say the numbers go down plenty from there. โ

You are here. Reading this. Which means you already have a drive to learn that is higher than most. โ

Numbers themselves donโ€™t mean anything. โ 
โ 
Itโ€™s the numbers that count. And those aren’t as high as you may think.โ 
โ 
Work toward being a number that counts and favorable things will begin to happen.โ
