A lesson well learned…

I decided to get back into auditioning as a voiceover actor by getting into the audiobook market. I hadn’t auditioned for anything since like 2006… I auditioned for 2 books to start and got rejected from both…I hate to say the word rejected…more like “I didn’t get the audition” yeah….that sounds better lol, anyway… I decided to do one more, and so I did and then never checked back to see if I got the audition…Well…I got the audition! I got an offer to record an audiobook and make a 50% royalty and it was the best thing in the world to get such an opportunity to get my acting career back rolling again. The only thing is… that offer came April 13th and today is May, 6th… my lack of belief from the first two rejections made me not even believe in the last one, which would have been the one, that….sigh. Never mind. I say all that to say, believe in yourself at all times and don’t let nobody, not even yourself, talk you out of what you really want to do.

Now, on the flip side of that coin, I’m not really tripping because, now I see that I am getting a response from God…a sign from God that there is some water coming out of that faucet. And now I’m gonna go HAM with submitting more auditions and completely turn that faucet on full blast. He’s gonna open those flood gates if you just believe. That’s the lesson for today. Not that I got an offer and then lost it, but that I get another chance, by his grace, to continue to use the gift that he gave me with more confidence because of his goodness and his mercy when I make mistakes and don’t always trust, he’s always there to pull me through and continue to make ways for me on my behalf.

Much Love ❤️

P.S.

If you would like to do the same thing too, just log on to ACX.com, make a profile, find the “search for auditions” tab, look through all the books, they have every genre up there with, as of today, 2,301 books accepting submissions. Find a book that you like, click on the copy of the script that they provide for you, go in your voice memos app on your phone. Record yourself reading the script and then upload it onto your page and submit it to the author. Most people consider this a side hustle but for me, it is a great platform to express my acting in audio form for the time being. And I know this is a very long P.S. but I just wanted to give you the information. Peace and thanks for listening to my problems lol 💜
