5 Ways to Destroy Your Dream of Being a Star in 2011!

By Andree Bridges


There are many different paths to stardom. Whether your dream is to be a star singer, dancer, actor, writer, director, composer, wardrobe specialist, makeup artist, or other craft… A number of factors affect your ability to achieve your dream of stardom, but the big three are: good talent, good timing, and good luck. There are also many different ways to destroy your dream of being a start. Here are the top five things to avoid in 2011 auditions:

Do lousy work

Lots of people who're stars don't have any unique expertise other than for creating information: obtaining their image taken at events, obtaining their image taken because they drunkenly flash their genitalia, producing publicity by performing any variety of issues that any self-respecting individual could be ashamed of. However the only method to accomplish accurate, long lasting stardom and make your mark as an artist of integrity and material would be to do regularly great function. Conversely, 1 certain method to reduce your odds of turning out to be or remaining a star would be to do function that your friends and audience regard as reduced high quality. Everybody will forgive 1 or two flops; everyone tends to make errors. But flop following flop following flop tells the viewers the flopper most likely just is not “cut out” for stardom. Because they say: “Some people have it; some people do not.” Poor function prospects individuals to think which you just do not have it.

Get arrested

We have seen many stars come back after being arrested. But it’s usually a struggle. And your arrest becomes a permanent part of your resume: “He (or she) may be a good actor, but he’s also a convicted drunk driver.” Plus, these days, new of your arrest (and usually your mugshot too) immediately appear on the internet, on television, and in print. And from that day forward, you forever have a “but” attached to your reputation. “She’s talented, but…”

Show a sexist, racist, or anti-Semitic mindset

Wish to ruin your desires of stardom inside a make a difference of seconds. Create a sexist, racist, or anti-Semitic remark. Instantly, the general public, your friends, and also the enjoyment business will shun you. Have you ever adopted Michael Richards’ profession because his post-Seinfeld racist rant? Many people inquire: “What profession?” His profession is, for all intents and functions, lifeless. What about a good larger star-Mel Gibson? Here’s a man with the incredible history of effective function in movie (as each an actor and director), but whose legacy will permanently be tarnished by his racist, sexist, anti-Semitic feedback and alleged functions of domestic violence. Unhappy.

Have a very compound abuse difficulty

As with the arrestees, many stars have come back from alcoholism or drug addiction to lead productive careers. But most don’t. Most face into obscurity, poor health, and eventually (sometimes sooner than later) death. Even if you go through rehabilitation and come out clean and sober, you have a black mark-the industry may consider you unreliable, difficult to insure (because the insurance company is concerned that your addiction may prevent you from fulfilling your contractual obligations and, in the process, jeopardize an entire project. Imagine, for example, shooting two-thirds of a film before having to depart the production due to your alcohol- or drug-related problems. What happens to the film? How does it get finished? What becomes of the millions of dollars already invested? An addict is a bad risk.

Be a diva

One more way to destroy your dream of stardom: Treat others poorly. Behave like you consider yourself “special” or entitled, and, eventually, your fans, your peers, and your potential employers will abandon you. Remember the saying: Be careful how you treat people on your way up, because you’re going to see them again on your way down. That kid in the studio mailroom that you yell at? Tomorrow he could be a director casting a part that you would be perfect for…if you hadn’t been such a jerk. Like addicts and felons, there are a few divas whose stardom endures…but very few.

By all means, pursue your dream of being a star. Go to auditions in 2011. Study your craft. Do as much work, and as much good work, as you can. Just avoid the five actions that can quickly and permanently destroy your dream.
