Painting A Brighter Image of Life

I almost gave up on trying to be an actor not to long ago. A couple of months ago, I met a lot of people in the business and went on quite a few auditions and I just kept hearing nothing. At one point I put so much money into it I was almost driven to filing Daytona Chapter 13. The headshots and resumes and traveling everywhere were beginning to take a toll on me physically and my wallet. I took a step back for about a month and just focused on work and getting some money together. I finally bought a decent printer that could print headshots and resumes with out needing new ink every third picture or tenth page. Then I took the time to send out as many as I could. I must have mailed out…I do not know how many but I did not get an answer from anyone. I was almost at the point of saying is this for me, am I good enough. I got a call from a pretty big, well known theatre last week though. I guess everything finally paid off because they asked me in for an audition. Unfortunately I am more nervous about wanting to get the part than actually auditioning. I have to try to not have that mess me up because I do not know when I will get another chance at this.
