Marketing Tips for the actors-the yellow brick road
I do not know anyone in recent decades, he has not heard the Wizard of Oz, what a wonderful musical journey through the yellow brick road with a teenage Judy Garland singing her heart. MGM is removed from the files occasionally and played another generation who are delighted with the story. Besides being fun it teaches us to four themes valuable about life.
First instead, that life seems better in other places – like the rainbow. But in reality, there is no place like home. What you have given and usually quite well if they can recognize and accept it. Dorothy wanted to explore the world beyond Kansas, but after experiencing realizes love the farm with Aunt Em, and the pawns are very wonderful.
Secondly, nobody is really alone. When you lose in a strange world that need friends in life will always be a Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow to his side.
Thirdly, always threats and challenges will be the ghostly jungle life the Wicked Witch of the West. But there's always good in the world. That's why Glinda the good witch comes Dorothy to help when you really need.
Wizards and fourth place are not always infallible. Sometimes it can lead astray. The trip down the yellow brick road was actually more valuable to Dorothy to find the wizard, because she learned much of life and herself. She won the confidence and learned to trust his friends finally find his way home.
How does this relate to a performance career?
1.Over see the rainbow "I never met an actor who does not bother some point that another actor was cast succeeded in a role he wanted, or has a contract on the basis of a television series or a B'way hearing or reached the rank of star. Things always look best when someone has them.
Lesson: An intelligent actor has to be careful of jealousy and resentment. Rarely or see the real downside to being a movie star or what they would like to play some other role. OK WHO and it is wonderful that your path is yours alone. Enjoy the work and path. That is real success!
2.Friends – are wonderful if they support his agenda, what we are trying to achieve-as whimsical trio did for Dorothy. He dropped everything to help your house.
Lesson: Make sure your "friends" are real friends. When your "crowd", however, consists of other working actors who are resentful and hostile, beware! Definitely can tear down. Walk with winners and you become one! Join a like-minded intellectual, success-oriented actors!
3.Threats and challenges – Fortunately, there really people in this world, whose aim is to destroy the agents, but there are some in favor of the industry, including teaching quality or divas, casting directors, film directors or other persons that may deter, degrade, or insult to the artists. They are to be avoided "like the plague" and ignored. The Wicked Witch of the West should not have any control over you. Tell them "is gone!" or you'll "drop a house on them!" (That's what The good witch Glinda advises Dorothy to do).
Lesson: Nobody can tell if you are good or bad, or even if you should consider another career. An acting teacher and casting director must not use a class or workshop in which paid damages to your spirit and mind. Fortunately, There are very few such people left in the business. They seem to have disappeared with the study of "time.
4.Wizards – Maybe you can translate that hotshot agents, managers, those who promise to get there, but can not seem to get the globe of the earth. Or when they do, you're not on board. Most agents want to see you succeed, but some do not have the connections to get you in the door, do not understand their nature and scope or simply not "get" you. Nobody's perfect.
Lesson: Do not trust any person or agency to make your career happen. Press forward. Dorothy finally did not need the wizard to get home. She had the power of red ruby slippers all time. And hoping and expressing its goal, she did pass on his own. So you can! Finding a good agent takes time and must be selective. Do not rush to find that "party" more than you would find a staff of "Match" in his life. It is a decision too important to simply "take the first offer."
So … the allegory of The Wizard of Oz is a good example to the officers or any person in a life journey. Just find your team, your Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion to help you on your way. His team is the coach of action, headshot photographer, videographer / editor, graphic artist, webmaster and Professional all of which can guide you, give advice, drop everything to help you on your way and even rescue of mean witches. Thus if you're not in Kansas-that's fine. You can safely get on that yellow brick road.
Marketing successfully!
