In today's episode of The Actor's Career Compass, host Martin Bentsen discusses the practical aspects of deciding if an acting project is worth your time. This decision can be tricky, especially given the lack of comprehensive reviews and histories for directors on platforms like Actors Access and Casting Networks. Martin emphasizes the importance of researching the production team, including checking their history on IMDb to ensure they have a track record of completed projects. He suggests actors consider whether the role will challenge them or add value to their portfolio, even if the project doesn't reach completion, as any role can bolster a resume.Martin also advises actors to weigh the logistical aspects of the project, such as location and time commitments, against their existing schedules and goals. Financial compensation and personal interest in the script are also critical factors. He offers a strategic tip for dealing with lengthy scripts: actors need not memorize and record the entire script but can choose to perform a portion, explaining their choice in the submission. This approach can convey professionalism and respect for their own time, potentially making a positive impression on directors. Ultimately, Martin underscores the necessity of self-advocacy in the acting industry, encouraging actors to take proactive steps and make strategic decisions that align with their career goals.For more tips and discussions, reach out to Martin at martin@cityheadshots.com or visit his website at https://www.martinbentsen.com.
