    The In-Between Times
    2025/05/08
    So, here’s the truth. Every actor, no matter how successful, goes through what I like to call the “in-between.” It’s that awkward stretch of time when you’re not on set, not auditioning, and frankly, not sure when or if the next opportunity will come. And that’s hard. Especially when you’re watching your peers book jobs, or you're scrolling through casting sites that just don’t seem to offer anything for you. And worse, maybe your bank account is saying “no” to classes, workshops, or even just a night out. So now you’re not acting, not training, and definitely not feeling creatively fulfilled. Sound familiar? If so, I want you to know—you’re not alone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
