How do you handle the constant rejection that comes with this field? Between auditions, pitches, staffing interviews, and job applications, the “no” rate is staggering. I try to remind myself that it’s part of the game, but it still stings, even years in. Some people say you build a thick skin, but I wonder if it ever truly stops hurting.

each “no” isn’t personal, it’s a step toward the right “yes.”

It hurts a lot but you always got to think about what could be on the horizon and also, all experience is good experience regardless of the outcome

It really sucks but you can try using it as a learning opportunity. It never really gets easier but if you try to get something out of it, it at least feels a little productive.
