Being aware of what is primordial to be or to do in order to succeed in your field is one of the first things to realize with yourself. I cannot deny that it is not hard and tough to be connected with our mind and be always good.
Today, I want to share with you some habits that I used to learned when I start doing acting and I strongly believe that these habits are reachable for everyone.

1. Learning from other people.
We have all our knowledges and awarenesses of life and professionalism but each person has something different, it is for this reason that we have to be agreed and able to learn from each other. As far as I am concerned, we must not increase this egoism and hypocrisy that some people gets in cinema. We are all equal, some of us have more ability to help others since they are older or have been working in their field for a while, but we have to be aware that everyone must learn something new each time. Working in the cinema is tough and giving our total confidence to someone is risky, however learning or listening some new knowledges are two habits that are easy and essential.
2. Be self-confident
Don't forget to trust yourself. You are the only one we can take decision about your future. People may help you but never force you to do something. Nevertheless, I am not entirely in the film industry and I don't have all the knowledges but as I explained in the first paragraph, I learnt et listen from each other and it is way I want to share with you. Don't forget that it is " a world of sharks", no one may be perfect and nice all the time. Hence, listen yourself, if you don't feel confident with this person follow your instincts. Be mentally and physically self-confident ( learn how to not go over the basic self-confidence ... ) and trust your mind.
3. Keep working even when you don't have official wages
It is a difficult job to be in cinema because we don't have a permanent work as a business men may have. But don't give up, if we don't work on a project for few weeks or even months if it is a hard time, find other ways to improve your knowledges and skills in order to come back stronger each times. As an actress, when I have any project as I am right now, I just study a lot, make some research on Internet, try to find some workshops or training... It is important to occupy your mind with things that you like doing.
4. Open doors and don't be shy
Being in the film industry demands a lot of confidence. You are shy and turn back when you are in front of the door of the casting director's office, you must work first on this ! You know that all professionals in this field don't necessary need you but YOU need them, it is why you have to open doors and begin the conversation. Nobody will ignore you or insult you because you talk to them. However, you have to be prepared before doing the first step. You will need your resume, personal card, elevator pitch, everything that is making you important and special.
Let me know if you have other essential habits that we should learn ! I am excited to see your comments.
See you !!
