Being an Actor
"Oh, it must be so glamorous to be an actor!" This is something that you hear so much, when the reality is so different. 95% of actors are out of work and known as 'resting actors'. This was me for many years—working as a paper girl, a waitress, flyering on street corners. I'm fortunate now as I have a few projects already in the pipeline and films I have worked on are starting to be released in some cinemas (hooray!). Guys, this has taken fifteen years of my life, sacrifices that I have made to keep the dream and hope alive. If you want to be an actor, your skin needs to be as thick as a crocodile's skin! I can assure you that you can do it. Take the rejections as lessons, rather than failures. Once, I was told after being down to the last two actors for a role, "Sorry, Rachel, you are so talented, but your cheekbones are wrong for the character". I mean, I couldn't exactly say I'd go to a plastic surgeon to maybe change my cheekbones...so instead of destroying my face I thought, "what good can I take away from this rejection?" 1) I got down to the last two out of thousands of women, 2) they said I was very talented.

Ex Military Vets - True Stories. Top Story - May 2019.
I have been working with ex military vets who have kindly shared their horrific war stories with me. As Soldiers... We soldier on. This was a repeated phrase used by many of our heroes. I have been connecting with soldiers and turning their stories into monologues working with a company called Iconic enterprise. With the stories, I have written them into performance pieces for our event to bring awareness to these outstanding people. I have shared three of my monologues below to help bring awareness of the pain and suffering our soldiers are put through, many suffering from PTSD.
