Tonight, I got asked if I was a professional actor. Many many times.
You know what, after doing this for six years, I still can’t say it plainly that I am. Cuz I’ve always defined a profession as something that one makes a living off. I’m a professional in my own right, but truth be told, I’m not making a living off acting.
Last time I checked, my acting income hardly comes close to 10% of the other stuff that I do. And even though I do the other stuff to provide a way for me to act, it still sounds weird (to me at least) to call myself one, as I know fully this is hardly a viable profession for me at this time.
I guess I would call myself a non-working actor. But the last time I did that, I had my peers telling me that I’m too humble. -_-”
The way I see it, the only solution would be for my acting to become financially viable. Then I can proudly and safely say I’m a professional actor.
And that would be birthday wish.
That I have a financially viable acting career.
i feel the same way about being called a writer, or even as a blogger. so weird. but then again, as long as u love what u do, u become it. doesnt matter if u;re earning money from it. as long as it feed ur soul?
wont that be a better way to see it?
HAPPY BELATED BURPDAY TOO!!! : D
thanks babe!
