What Do you want to be Famous For?

By Ethan Lukeuaw


Think you're a singer? Dancer? Model? Actor? Composer? Producer? Director? Writer? Editor? Cinematographer? Wardrobe specialist? Set designer? Lighting professional? What's your passion? What do you do best? (It is good in the event the answer to those last two concerns will be the same but, however, the answers usually differ.) It is up to you to choose what you would like to become famous for.

Why narrow it down? Why can't you have all of it? The truth is: You do not really have to narrow it down. And you could have it all. We see it in the so-called "hyphenates" (the actor,writer,director or perhaps actor,singer,dancer). We likewise see it in the handful of individuals exactly who succeed in their craft to the level where they've won all 4 prestigious entertainment sector prizes: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. (To date, only ten individuals have attained this milestone.)

A danger with declaring from the outset which you do all of it and excel at each is that a lot of people, casting agents, producers, directors, and so on, may label you a "jack of all trades/master of none." You will discover so handful of fantastic models who are likewise exceptional actors, so handful of exceptional actors who are also exceptional singers, so few exceptional singers that are also exceptional dancers, most people are suspicious of individuals who claim to be great at multiple talents. Generally, the response is: Just verify you do one factor well first.

Yet another threat of doing it all and all at once vs. leading with one certain skill is the fact that you could not have the time or strength to dedicate the studying and also practicing and also practicing and also auditioning and also all of the other steps necessary to advance in each. Ask yourself: If I can only do one thing, just what would it be? Sing? Dance? Model? Act? Write? Direct? No matter what it could be, concentrate on that first. By all means, foster your other skills too, but huge importance is placed on quality and also emphasis.

Also think about the query "What do you want to be famous for?" from yet another perspective. Would you like to become famous for creating function of sensational depth as well as quality? Or would you like to be famous for developing a sensation? Developing work of sensational depth and quality requires talent and self-discipline as well as dedication. Developing a sensation may be as easy as flashing your privates as you drunkenly leave a taxi.

Both might cause you to be a celeb. Both might make you a great deal of cash. But which would you like to be thought of for? Which would you like to speak about together with your kids? This can be the era of "trash television" when noisy, narcissistic housewives and minor celebrities with drug abuse issues dominate a portion of the airwaves. But there's likewise excellent work being done, both in "the system" and independently on Television, on film on stage, and in music. The truth is, regardless of whether you do rubbish work or work of substance, whether or not you work inside or outside the system, it is all hard work. It is generally time-consuming as well as energy-draining. It may be energizing as well. And exhilarating. And immensely rewarding in both dollars and attention. But it is generally hard work. So, given that you are going to be working hard, whether as a model or actor, singer or dancer, writer or director or any other portion of the entertainment industry, choose your route cautiously. Select the path which will reward your bank account as well as your soul, if feasible.

And just before you start down that path, ask yourself: What do you really wish to become famous for?
