    We are going to be talking about the importance of fun.

    So I'm going to be really honest with you, this is a topic that I have had so much trouble with.

    Yeah, I have had trouble having fun.

    I thought that, I don't know, life was to be endured. And even though I had a positive, natural positive attitude, I didn't know how to have fun. I had no idea how to have fun.

    And you know what that hurt? That hurt my acting career and that hurt my ability to act because I wasn't experiencing all emotions, especially the really good ones.

    But the thing is that when we as casting directors, agents, managers are meeting with you, we want to be with people who are Professional, but also are fun to be around people that we want to work with, that we want to be on a set with day in and day out now.

    Okay, that might not apply for the casting director or the agent or the manager, but I am going to be working with you a decent amount.

    So yes, it does apply to that, but it really applies in your auditions.

    Are you having fun? Do you know how to have fun?

    And if you don't, that's okay.

    You can have fun learning, and you may make mistakes while having fun.

    I've certainly done that.

    I thought something was going to be fun, and then it really wasn't.

    In fact, I hated it.

    Anyway, so I'm going to read a little thing out of Melody Beattie's Language of Letting Go.

    “Have some fun with life, with the day. Find the good things in the day. Find the fun things in the day. Life is not a drudgery. That is an old belief.”

    And as I said, truly an old belief of mine.

    “We can let go of it. We are on an adventure. And this adventure is life. It is a journey. Events will come to pass that we cannot even fathom.”

    I think that's one of the gifts of being deaf. Age is that with age, you begin to appreciate life more. You begin to appreciate the day more.

    And lately I've had podcasts and podcasts that will come up about being decisive, making mistakes.

    You can have fun with all of this.

    The big thing is we want to create the best life and career and experience with this one amazing shot we have on this planet.

    “We want to try and replace our heaviness and weariness of spirit with joy. Surround yourself with people and things that bring lightness of spirit as opposed to that heaviness.

    Become sensitive to happiness, to lightness, to the incredible wonder of life.

    The journey, it really can be an exciting adventure. Let yourself be. Enjoy it.”

    One of the mantras that I gave myself recently, creating amazing experiences in my life is fun for me.

    Creating amazing experiences in my life. is fun for me.

    Again, fun. It's so important. You want to be around people who are fun.

    Why would that stop in a casting office? Why would that stop in an agent's office? Why would that stop at a manager's office? Why would that stop in auditioning?

    Have fun. This business can be fun.

    It can be exciting.

    Yes, it can also be trying. But let's have fun on the adventure.

    Episode 298: The Importance of Being Decisive as an Actor
    Aug 21 2024
    Book a free consultation! Today I'm going to talk about something that I have found to be extremely helpful. And that word is being decisive. Now, sometimes when I'm decisive, I make mistakes. But this is the thing. Everything is fixable. And mistakes are how we grow. But in my being decisive, what happens is that things get put in order, into motion. And the thing is that if I keep doing what I've always done, which can be being wishy-washy about something or procrastinating with something because I just don't know what to do. By the way, this is why I'm recommending these free consultations with me so we can get you out of that kind of mess. What happens is that when I set myself a clear path and I get decisive about things start to happen, big things start to happen. And I find that making a decision, and then following through with that decision is sometimes the most valuable thing I do in a day. So today I'm going to talk, I have five points about decisiveness. They are efficiency and time management, confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, opportunity seizing, and clear direction and focus. So I'm going to talk about each of those subjects and how being decisive has helped me and how I feel it can help you. So efficiency and time management, decisiveness helps in making quick decisions. Quick and effective decisions and saving time and increasing productivity. So this is the thing. Not making a decision is making a decision and it keeps you stuck as an actor. And this is the thing. I don't want to waste any more time in my life. I've got a finite amount of time on this planet and I want to make sure that I am enjoying it. Every single moment of it, and the things that I'm doing for my life and my career are moving me forward, not backward, and certainly not keeping me stagnant. So what happens when I'm more decisive? I take less time, humming and hawing. And that is, that's why I'm offering the free consultation, because I want you to stop humming and hawing. Either decide you're going to work with someone to get your shit in gear, or don't. But, for goodness sake, let's make a decision. So what happens is that when you make a decision, chances are, when you leap, the net will appear and the universe will support you. And that's why that decision will be effective. Also when I make a decision, I decide what I'm going to do instead of hemming and hawing about what I should do. What happens is that I save time and that is time that could be spent effectively working on the acting career. Also because I'm saving that time, I have increased productivity. I get more done creating more Opportunities. So I'm going to actually jump to opportunities here. Because what happens is that when you do more things, you put yourself more out there, more people know about you, more opportunities can exist. And decisiveness allows individuals to capitalize on opportunities quickly before they are lost to hesitation. See, I want as many agents, casting directors, managers, producers, directors, writers to know about you, but how do you get in touch with them? I want to show you how to do that. I want to also encourage you to be decisive in your career, whether you're working with me or not, but even by listening to this, you are working with me a little bit so that you can have opportunity. Bill Timoney, who is going to be on Broadway with Our Town, he always says, and he's such a friend of Acting Business Boot Camp, he says, “you want to have as much access to opportunity as you can.” And that's what I like to help actors to access. access to opportunity. The other thing about being decisive is it makes you more confident. Decisive individuals often exude confidence, which is crucial for effective leadership and inspiring trust. So this is the thing. I am a casting director. I hire actors, I audition actors that exude confidence, who are good at their job, and almost more importantly, know they are good at their job. And that inspires trust in me, the casting director, to either directly hire them for a job or to continue auditioning them so that they have access to opportunity. Now I'm going to talk about how being decisive reduces stress and anxiety. Because making prompt decisions reduces stress and anxiety associated with prolonged uncertainty and indecision. That's the thing. The more you procrastinate, the more anxiety and stress you build up. It's time to eradicate that from your life. The stress and anxiety that is caused by indecision, it doesn't have to be there. How do I know that? Because I used to be a hand wringer, a pearl clencher, a hyperventilator about making a decision. But once I started to get decisive, things started to happen. And finally, let's talk about how being decisive in your acting career gives you clear direction and focus. It helps you to align your efforts and your resources toward achieving specific goals, which is, ...

    Episode 297: Making Mistakes
    Aug 14 2024
    Get the Free Class! Today, I'm going to talk about mistakes. Something that I'm going to be honest, I am not very excited about. Meaning that like I don't even want to admit to you, let alone myself, I'm not perfect. Because my name is Peter Pamela Perfection Rose. And just like things to be all neat and buttoned up and look good. And here's the thing, when I started this podcast, I remember the first few actually the first episode I did, it took me two hours to do it. And then I finally said to myself, there is no way I will ever do this, or keep this up if this is how long it's going to take me. Because I was trying to get it perfect and I was trying to say, oh, I'm going to do one thing and it's going to be like this, to only find out that maybe that wasn't the best way. And so what I decided was, is that in this weekly podcast, come what may, no matter what, I was going to do one every week. And sometimes I batch them. I do a few in advance. But I never really do more than four in advance. So always, what you're hearing, I've recorded very recently. And the other thing that I decided was that I was just going to be who I was. I wasn't going to edit unless it was absolutely necessary. Absolutely necessary, including the interviews, because what I wanted you to see was that you could accomplish something, and not be perfect. And come on. If you've been listening to my podcast, you've heard me stumble. You've heard me say things wrong. You've heard me go off, get lost on a tangent and come back. You have heard me make so many mistakes. And I've just recorded a podcast, because I am batching this one but like I said, you will be hearing it very soon. Where I really felt like at the end I went off and then a phone call came in and I just felt off and I was like, Ugh, should I re record? And I said, No. No, I shouldn't. Because again, what I want to show you is, what I want to emulate in my work is that you don't have to be perfect, that this is a podcast that if you're expecting perfection, you're not going to get it, okay? Go listen to somebody else. I'm not perfect. I'm not going to do this podcast perfectly, but what I always will be is honest, and I will always be talking from the heart. A lot of my older clients call me mama bear and they are my baby bears. And I feel what a good mama bear does is she teaches her baby bear how to fish. And she teaches through example. And that's always how I wanna teach. And when I talk about the core work, I'm always talking about the work that I've Guinea pigged on myself, on my own, anxiety, on my own imperfection, on my own character defects, and then coach you to do it. Because I figure if I have done it with myself, coaching you is a piece of cake because I have to go up against all of my own messiness and I do it with lots of mistakes. So I have a couple of books I'm going to be reading from today and talking about this mistakedom. The first one is actually a Hazelden meditation book called In God's Care. It starts with a quote from Ethel Barrymore. How appropriate. “You grow up the day you have your first real laugh at yourself.” “Do we sometimes think the whole house of cards will come tumbling down if we make one false move? There's nothing wrong. with making mistakes. That's the way we've learned in the past and that's how we're learning now. We laugh affectionately at the foibles of others. Sometimes it's irresistible. But we can laugh at our own with the same good humor.” And, one of the things I find about life is not taking myself so seriously and not beating up on myself when I have made a mistake. There are times when I've made some really big mistakes, and I need to go back and take responsibility for that. But most of the mistakes. are just little mistakes where I'm tumbling over my words or I'm in a recording session and I misread something. I just say, okay, pick up and I go on. The fact of the matter is that in life, everything is fixable. And when we do something wrong, we make a mistake. I just saw something on social media and it was Simone Biles as a small girl doing the vault. And it was in a meet and she didn't do that well. And then they showed her ten years later, doing a far more complicated vault. And it was perfect. It's through making our mistakes that we grow. And it's okay not to be perfect. But this is the thing, it doesn't really matter that I tell you it's okay that you're not perfect. You need to go through the same process that I go through. Which is, I need to know it's okay with Peter Pamela Rose, that Peter Pamela Rose isn't perfect. The reading goes on to say “living a spiritual life doesn't mean we have to be grim. In fact, increasing joy and merriment is an unavoidable result of turning our will over to that of the universe's. Now we can relax and enjoy life, and that includes enjoying our less than perfect selves.” And that's the other thing, I think, that in ...

An amazing and inspirational podcast

Peter always has just the right words and motivation for the moment. She knows exactly what life as a professional performer entails, and is a great help in getting you through the roller coaster of triumphs and disappointments that come with it. I highly recommend this podcast.
