About this listen

Forget everything you think you know about the acting industry. No matter what "they" say, a successful career in the acting profession is actually possible for anyone. Life's too short not to follow your dreams.

The most common reasons most actors don't "make it" are simply that they:

  • Were unsure where to start or what to do on a daily basis
  • Never learned to market, organize, produce, and brand themselves
  • Didn't run their careers like a business
  • Quit on their dreams assuming they weren't good enough
  • Lacked the winning mindset needed to endure the rejections that lead to success

Acting Is My Day Job: Seven Strategies to Market and Make Money as an Actor provides actionable strategies to build momentum, capitalize on early success, and build the habits required to establish a lasting acting career. Matthew Dearing delivers the truth about what it takes to be a working actor, leaving no more room for regret and excuses.
