Perhaps you feel pressured to follow an academic route in school instead of a vocational one? Or perhaps you\u2019re holding back from taking your first steps into the acting industry for fear of being told \u2018no\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that if you\u2019re reading this, then the hard part is over! At the very least, you\u2019ve made the decision to become an actor. The next big hurdle you\u2019ll face is entering the industry.<\/p>\n<p>As a fellow teen actor, I can confirm that the default solution you\u2019re pushed towards is drama school, and that\u2019s no surprise. At the age of 16-18, most of our friends are preparing to go to university, and it\u2019s easy to feel like you\u2019re getting left behind.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s imagine that you\u2019ve done your research, and you\u2019ve got your heart set on drama school. You\u2019re adamant that you want to go, and you\u2019ve been preparing for so long that you could probably perform your monologues whilst doing a headstand if directed to. You try your best to turn all your nervous energy into confidence, and you make your way into the audition. In no time at all, it\u2019s over, and you walk out with a huge smile on your face &#8211; you completely smashed it! All your hard work and sleepless nights have paid off, and you couldn\u2019t be more relieved.<\/p>\n<p>For me, the not-knowing was by far the most draining part of the process. You do an endless amount of waiting for that email to come through, and you begin to overthink every last part of the audition. Did I choose the right pieces? Was I loud enough? Did I say the right things? Truthfully, the best thing you can do is forget about it. Of course, that\u2019s much easier said than done when it seems as if everything depends on your acceptance. But that couldn\u2019t be more wrong! You need to remember that it\u2019s not a career-ending tragedy if you don\u2019t get in. Your aspirations to be an actor are worth a whole lot more than an acceptance letter from drama school.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s say the long-awaited email finally arrives. You look down at your phone and see the daunting words &#8216;Audition Outcome\u2019 printed as the subject. You freeze. You panic. You take a deep breath. You click \u2018open\u2019, and your heart sinks. You\u2019ve been rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking from experience, I can safely say that there is no worse feeling. You did everything right, and you were convinced that it was meant to be. So what happened?<\/p>\n<p>The truth is you\u2019re still young. A drama school rejection does not determine your future, and it certainly doesn\u2019t mean that you won\u2019t make it as an actor. Maisie Williams, Matt Smith, and Emma Watson have all proved that you don\u2019t need a drama school qualification to be successful in the industry. Even Hugh Jackman was rejected at first, so keep going! Remember to give yourself some credit &#8211; this is a tough industry, and you should be proud of yourself for having the courage to pursue it. Admittedly it won\u2019t feel like it, but rejections are usually blessings in disguise.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the perfect time to really ask yourself: do I actually want to go to drama school? Or do I feel like I have to go? If the second part to that question rings true to you, then there are other options. There is a large selection of affordable acting classes out there that can come with their own opportunities. By taking some time out of formal education, you can make new friends, save up some money, discover some new hobbies to complement your acting, and start to audition for (and hopefully book) some acting jobs.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re still holding out your hopes for drama school, don\u2019t ever give up. \u2018I wasn\u2019t good enough\u2019 is inevitably the first thought to enter your mind, but there are so many more reasons as to why you weren\u2019t successful. Much like auditioning for a job, most drama schools already have a clear idea of who they want. Perhaps they wanted someone taller? Maybe they\u2019re looking for someone who looks just like you, but 5 years older. What if they wanted someone with a baby face who could graduate, and still get away with playing a 13 year old? Or maybe destiny simply had other plans? After all, everything happens for a reason!<\/p>\n<p>Being rejected from drama school can undoubtedly take its toll on you. It may hit you harder than you thought and completely knock your confidence. To make a bad situation worse, you\u2019re the one who has to break the disheartening news to your friends and family. You don\u2019t want them thinking you\u2019ve failed, or that you\u2019re not good enough &#8211; but believe it or not, they won\u2019t think that at all. They\u2019ll just want to support you and help you get to where you want to be. So, don\u2019t be so hard on yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You are your own worst critic, so try your best to rebuild your confidence so you can keep on thriving. Remember why you started acting in the first place, and make sure you\u2019re still enjoying it. Take a trip to the theatre with your friends, rewatch your favourite movie, or have a go at writing your own script. Remind yourself why you love acting so much, and have fun!<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line? Don\u2019t give up. This is a tough business, but also an incredible one. You\u2019re going to love it, but you\u2019ve also got to be in it to win it.<\/p>\n<p><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\/2799\/commerical-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/2799\/commerical-headshot.jpg\" \/><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/izzybellemartin\/?hl=en\">Isabelle Martin<\/a>\u00a0is a young actress and writer based in Manchester.
