The only other productive thing I did today was seek out some local casting directors over the net; I sent my online photo & resume out to 5 of them, but 3 came back with "delivery failure". Sigh! Sometimes my confidence isn't strong enough to stand the many hurdles that I crash into whenever I try to jump them. The difference between a failure and a success is successful people go beyond their failures. It's easy to think that the ones on top made it easy, that they had no trouble getting there. What's even worse is we assume they used immoral means to get there, while the real weasels die out into oblivion. Hope is the last thing to die is what I read on the imdb boards under "Shop Talk Actors". Quite inspirational. Then, I go to Casting Workbook.com to check for any auditions and find stuff that's out of town: nothing in Winnipeg. Even worse is when it's in Vancouver, stuff my agent would've sent me out for, but I'm out here. It gets distressing when I see a commercial, and I can tell it's from Vancouver when I see someone I know in it. I could easily say that that could've been me, but even if I was out there still, it wouldn't have been. I may not get every opportunity, but I've gotten some.
