    Is anyone feeling discouraged?

    I’ve lived in NYC for 5 years, I went to a 2 year musical theatre conservatory. I feel very well trained as an actor but lately I haven’t been booking anything. I know rejection is the name of the game in this business. But I’ve been feeling depressed for not...
