The first is: \u201cAre you in anything at the moment?\u201d The second is: \u201cHow do you deal with all that rejection?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether you work in the industry or not, it&#8217;s no secret that rejection and acting are pretty much synonymous. You can&#8217;t have a life as a performer and think you&#8217;ll not become oddly familiar with being rejected. Despite the obvious hardships that rejection deals out to us \u2013 all the lamenting, self-deprecation, confusion, upset and fury \u2013 there&#8217;s something to be said about viewing it as a positive experience. Yes, this may seem like a contradiction but although not getting a job appears entirely like a failure, there are actually some benefits to it.<\/p>\n<p>This article will reel off all the positives that can be taken from being rejected in the hope of picking you up, dusting you off and putting you back en route. Don\u2019t let it dismantle your confidence in your ability but use it as a point of learning and motivation to continue trying.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rejection is Part of the Auditioning Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you must accept is that not only is rejection a by-product (or conjoined twin) to acting, everyone experiences it. It&#8217;s part of the job and we accept that going into the profession \u2013 so don\u2019t feel completely surprised after getting your first, second, tenth or 500th \u2018no\u2019. The highs are worth the lows; we know that the successes are worth the troubles they may inflict on us.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of performers can relate to feeling down after falling short of securing a role, so although it may feel like it, you are not alone in being declined for a part. Of course, you might be upset, but this is only because it means something to you. Chances are if acting is something you value, your passion for it is stronger than your sadness from a rejection, and you\u2019ll persevere and ride through this setback. Sometimes it works in your favour and sometimes against, but we accept this job for what it is \u2013 warts and all.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Understand Why You Were Rejected<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps you weren\u2019t right for the role but try to unpick why. Ask your agent if they can get notes from the casting director. An actor friend of mine says a casting director once told her to stop moving about so much during her audition as it was distracting. After adjusting her performances in following auditions, she began securing more roles.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn from the mistakes you are routinely making. You can view the experience, not as a failure but as an opportunity to learn and get better \u2013 an opportunity to refine your craft.<\/p>\n<p>These days so much is expected of actors and there are many hoops we jump through to simply secure a meeting. Try not to feel too disheartened if you don\u2019t hear anything back afterwards. With more people wanting to enter the industry and the influence of social media, the profession is more ruthlessly competitive than ever. Embrace the experience of an audition and, when possible, ask for feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Accept and dissect the rejection, listen, learn and improve from it because as the author Elizabeth Day repeats: \u201cLearning how to fail, is learning how to succeed better.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Use the Motivation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Another productive way of using rejection is to convert it into motivation. Use it as a catalyst for your work and to focus on your goal. After being rejected it&#8217;s perfectly normal to feel upset or hard done by \u2013<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>but don\u2019t let this sadness spread further than it needs to. Don\u2019t let it leak into other areas of your life and create a snowball effect. Adjust yourself and your mood after hearing negative news and throw yourself into something different to keep anxious and dismantling thoughts at bay.<\/p>\n<p>Equally, don\u2019t get bitter and bad mouth the casting director or the actor who landed the part. The most impressive thing to do after not winning a part is to bounce back from it. Appreciate the chance to meet with new creatives, remain professional and curious and attend to the next job. Use it to spur you on.<\/p>\n<h3>Remember: It\u2019s not Personal<\/h3>\n<p>Even though the business is such a visual, intimate process, it&#8217;s not personal, so don\u2019t let decisions knock you completely. Remember: absolutely everybody has been rejected at some point in their life. Although it can often feel like a solely individual catastrophe, everyone can relate to the feeling and the process.<\/p>\n<p>Try to remind yourself that we only witness the successes; we only see the films which have been picked up and made, watch the actors who have been cast, read the writers who have been commissioned. There were hundreds of rejections we didn\u2019t see. Every actor encounters it \u2013 daily. Even the 21-time Academy Award-nominated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/worldnews\/northamerica\/usa\/11988870\/Meryl-Streep-told-she-was-too-ugly-to-act-in-King-Kong.html\">Meryl\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/worldnews\/northamerica\/usa\/11988870\/Meryl-Streep-told-she-was-too-ugly-to-act-in-King-Kong.html\">Streep<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Accept that rejection is very much a part of the journey, welcome the fact that it gives you a chance to improve and use it as motivation. Learn that everything happens for a reason and trust the rejection \u2013 you may not have got that part, but that allows you to have space for a different one.<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"imgLeftSmall\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_400,c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/2159\/laurenmccrostie4460web.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/2159\/laurenmccrostie4460web.jpeg\" \/><\/span>Lauren McCrostie is an actress and writer based in London.
