\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s entertainment media climate, you need to have a range of disciplines to offer prospective projects.<\/strong> Over-specializing is actually a pitfall because it means you can only do one type of work. If nobody\u2019s hiring for the one thing that you do, you\u2019ll be sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring. Don\u2019t be that actor! Instead, load up your toolkit with a range of specialties that make you an enticing candidate for whomever might be casting at the time.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not just talking about different genres—every actor needs to be able to do comedy, drama, fantasy and horror. But a successful working actor needs to be confident working in entertainment media, commercial spots, voice-only roles, and heck, maybe you can even find a way to do some socially-distanced stage productions while you\u2019re at it. Here\u2019s why it\u2019s important to master multiple disciplines.<\/p>\n

Be a Jack of Several Trades and a Master of a Few<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Working with multiple disciplines doesn\u2019t mean being jack of all trades and a master of none. You can, in fact, master multiple disciplines, especially when they\u2019re in related fields.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not talking about being a plumber, and airline pilot, and a marble sculptor, after all. A voice actor, screen actor and model, for example, are all within a stone\u2019s throw of each other. Skills from one translate to the other.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re comfortable on stage, and you\u2019re on-point in front of the camera, and<\/em> you\u2019re competent in a soundstage or against a green screen, you\u2019ve essentially tripled the number of producers interested in hiring you. The old way of acting said to find your niche. Instead, find the niche that\u2019s needed by whomever is hiring. Fill that niche.<\/p>\n

Consider it an Artistic Flex<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Broadening your actor\u2019s toolkit is more than just a financial consideration, of course. Working in multiple disciplines gives you more room to flex your artistic chops. Acting isn’t just about stretching into a range of characters. It\u2019s about working under a range of different conditions. The flexibility is part of the creative payoff and pushes you to be more and do better.<\/p>\n

Sitting in a sound stage, imagining that a tennis ball on a broomstick is a dragon you\u2019re battling and barking your reactions into a puff-guarded microphone may not sound like the ideal workday for some actors (some of us love it, of course). For this type of video game acting, you\u2019re running almost entirely on imagination. But when you walk away from the project, you take a more powerful creative ability with you. The creative payoff is major. The camaraderie with the sound crews and animators is rewarding. Don\u2019t be surprised if you even notice a difference during your next on-location movie shoot. You\u2019ll walk away with stronger creative skills.<\/p>\n

Start Small, Be Humble, and Work Hard<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Bruce Campbell<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s classic memoir If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, <\/em>the legendary blue-collar star gives an adroit observation. \u201cOnce you look past the hype, actors are nothing more than fugitives from reality who specialize in contradiction: we are both children and hardened adults\u2014wide-eyed pupils and jaded working stiffs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor-as-a-working-stiff is essentially the theme of his memoir, and it\u2019s a good reminder that beyond the glitz, glamor, and wide-eyed dreams, acting is work. That\u2019s not a bad thing! Roll up your sleeves and start with small jobs that\u2019ll get your oil primed. Work up little by little. Don\u2019t turn up your nose at a job just because it\u2019s not a red carpet ordeal. Remember, there are creative rewards even for the most challenging and least pleasant jobs. Be humble, work hard, and keep at it. Most successful actors have a groundwork of un-glamorous credits in their earliest years.<\/p>\n

Leave Room to Surprise Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You never know what you might turn out to be good at. While some people may dream of it, I didn\u2019t set out to be a video game voice actor. That kind of work found me when I saw a casting call for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. <\/em>I almost didn\u2019t go to auditions. But in the end, I decided to give it a shot, and I\u2019m so glad I did. That audition ended up being a turning point in my career.<\/p>\n

It was my first video game job, and to my surprise, I ended up being good at it, having fun, and fitting right into the workflow at Ubisoft. I had a chance to grow with the company and have ended up with some credits I\u2019m very proud of.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fixate on the type of actor you want to be, or the type of media you want to appear in. You might have a hidden talent you haven\u2019t discovered yet, and the only way to find it is to work in a range of different disciplines.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not working, or not working much, you can get a head start now by mastering a range of different disciplines. Take some master courses. Make connections outside your typical network. Work intentionally to diversify your creative toolkit. Be a jack of several trades, and master of a few. The rewards will be creative challenges, a broadening reel and credit list, and of course, jobs.<\/p>\n
