The Mojo Wave
Sometimes everything goes your way, sometimes not.
I find this to happen with acting.
Sometimes your hot. 10-10-9.
Then, you can't seem to do anything right.
I think I am in a down turn in my mojo wave.
SS, my acting teacher said something similar last night.
He commented on the fact that over the past few weeks he hasn't found my work on camera to be magical like he normally thinks of me.
That might sound harsh, but that is one of the reasons why I decided to stay in his class when I first took it. He tells you it straight. Sometimes it hurts, but he is just being honest.
Also, and he said this last night, he isn't telling you these things to hurt you, but to try and help you get back to what you had, or to get it right.
He did give me a number for a commercial agent. We'll see if that works. He seemed a little tense about it. Kept telling me to be strong, direct, confident, and funny. Think of yourself as a stand up, he said.
Don't give a shit about the rules, just be funny.
It lends itself to my fuck it theory.
Also, back to the wave topic, the wave comes and goes, just like the tide. All it will take for my mojo to be back is an uptick of some sort.
Hell, it could be this commercial guy, it could be in Friday's show, it could be awhile. Who knows.
It will come back, and I ain't no slouch in the mean time, but that is the story.
