Hi Subscriber - A quick email with a press release from our friends at the Nashville Film Festival and a short piece of acting career advice from yours truly. Hope you enjoy both. =============================================== TOP TEN REASONS NASHVILLE IS MORE AWESOME THAN HOLLYWOOD! NASHVILLE, Tenn. - April 1, 2008 - For the sixth year during the month of April, Music City rolls out the red carpet and celebrates Spring's arrival like no other city. With scores of festivals, concerts, award shows and exhibitions--each unique to Nashville --the city has officially designated April as "Awesome April in Music City ." But this tradition of support for arts and culture extends far beyond our musical heritage. Nashville has always had a long love affair with the movies. The city officially kicked off the Nashville Film Festival April 1st with the first of many parties planned for this year's star-studded schedule of screenings and celebrations. For those with lingering doubt as to Nashville's cinematic credibility and legendary hospitality - we've have compiled the TOP 10 reasons Nashville is more awesome than Hollywood this April...

(An excerpt from You Must Act! The Acting Career Course by Bob Fraser) STATE YOUR GOALS - Write down exactly what you want to happen. Remember not to get caught up in any limiting beliefs. You will not get a positive outcome from your negative statements - so don't focus on what you DON'T want - focus on and write down what you DO want. CAUTION: One more time ... please be careful about that 'working actor' trap. One definition of working actor is having a role to act - and 'working' on it. You can do that right away. I guarantee it. Pick up the latest Backstage - or other casting listings - and if you audition for 10 of the shows in there ... you will most likely get cast in at least one of them. They're probably mostly unpaid - but you will be 'working' as an actor. Of course, you may also have to work as a waiter as well - so you can pay rent and buy groceries. But, subconsciously, you will relax - because you have fulfilled one definition of that phrase you used in thinking about your future ... that phrase, 'working actor' just isn't specific enough to work. I repeat my concerns about 'working actor,' yet again, because this phrase is in current use by a lot of actors - and it's a form of 'shorthand' that can cost you what you really desire. There are a lot of other bad habits of thinking - phrases we all say, that trap us into NON-ACTION: "My life is crazy." "It all comes down to luck." "It's such a competitive business." "I'm an artist, not a business person." Listen to good advice: Stop using this sort of 'catch phrase' as a way of thinking - your brain is receiving this information and operating as if these generally false, clich?, catch-phrases are reality. If you persist with these 'inner-dialogues' - using conversational shorthand - your brain will eventually lead you to one of those not-so-hot solutions I've outlined earlier ... or worse. Then your brain will relax; as it has done the job it was requested to do. Don't use this sort of conversational gambit (habit) to convince yourself - or anyone else - that you want anything less than your ACTUAL DEFINITION of success. If you keep repeating these phrases (and hundreds of others like them) - it will work against you. DON'T B.S. YOUR BRAIN TELL IT THE TRUTH TELL IT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT YOUR BRAIN WILL FIND SOLUTIONS IT WORKS Remember THE JIM CARREY PRINCIPLE - There is no room in a successful person's mind for false or modest goals. (This relates to the time Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for a million dollars for "acting services" when he could barely pay his rent. That check made it real for Jim Carrey - and eventually it became real.) STATE YOUR REAL GOALS - If you don't know what your real definition of success is, then your first step is to figure that out. Your brain is the one tool that is infallible when it comes to finding the pathway to your dream. But your brain will only recognize the next step on the ladder - if you tell it where the ladder is leading. "Many people have climbed the ladder only to discover, once at the top, that the ladder was leaning against the wrong wall." ~ Lao-Tsu Another word of warning: Don't start climbing, if you don't intend to go up. Okay, back to making your plan ... It's really up to you to decide WHEN you want to start taking the steps to get your acting career off the ground - and onto the red carpet. I hope it's soon. =============================================== You can read a full description of You Must Act! - and what you'll get out of it - at the site.
