TRAVELING AS AN ACTOR
Having the opportunity to travel is always an amazing thing, but what if you could make your travels benefit your career too?
Here are some tips for actors who want to get the most out of their international travels!
Don’t assume travel will cost a fortune. With websites like Airbnb, Couchsurfing, and easyJet, travel can be extremely affordable if you just know where to look. You’ll be surprised by the amazing people you’ll meet and the lifelong friendships you’ll make when you’re crashing on their couch.
Use this as an opportunity to learn a new language…
…or perfect an accent! Being completely surrounded by an accent or language means it’ll be that much easier for you to imitate. Your foreign languages and accents will definitely improve the longer you’re there. Plus that opens up a whole new set of roles you can audition for in the future!
And traveling by trains, planes, or automobiles gives you a great chance to unplug from your electronics and get back to the basics. Take some time to read, write and let your creativity flow in a way you might not have time for back home.
