Daily affirmation: “I embrace each audition as a new opportunity to shine.”

Today, let’s ponder a bit on this intriguing quote by the legendary playwright, Samuel Beckett: “We are all born mad. Some remain so.”

At first glance, it might seem a bit quirky or even puzzling. But isn’t that the beauty of theater and acting? It allows us to explore the myriad facets of human nature, including those that are often labeled as ‘madness.’

In the realm of acting, this ‘madness’ can be seen as our unbridled creativity, our willingness to explore the depths of characters that are far removed from our own reality. Beckett’s words invite us to embrace the parts of ourselves that are unapologetically unique, those aspects that make us stand out in a casting room or breathe life into a character in a way that no one else can.

As actors, we have the extraordinary ability to delve into various psyches and portray a spectrum of emotions. This journey often requires us to tap into the parts of ourselves that society might deem eccentric or unconventional. But it is in these depths that true artistry lies.

So, the next time you step onto the stage or in front of a camera, remember Beckett’s words. Embrace your inner ‘madness,’ your unique creative spark. It’s what makes you an irreplaceable artist in this beautiful, ever-evolving world of acting.

Stay inspired and keep shining
