Booking Film & TV - Manifestation Goals - Production News - Emmy Awards Analysis
By Abigail Hardin, September 18, 2024
Happy Back to School, UTD! ?
I don't know about you, but every year I get butterflies of excitement for Fall and the "back to school" energy. As a baby and toddler mom, I can't wait to buy their first composition notebook and I've preemptively purchased a new one for myself this September. In many ways, this Fall feels like a new season for me personally and for the Up-To-Date Actor. I plan on filling the pages of my new notebook with tasks, inspirations, ideas, and goals. New ideas, and expanding current ideas, keeps me energized and mentally strong with purpose. To quote Lousie Hay,
"I am never too old for anything I want to do. I am always the perfect age for where I am in life. I am forever supported by the Universe and am unlimited in my potential!"
So let's get back to school! As an actor, our education and training are never finished. We are constantly evolving as human beings and within our craft. The Fall is a great reminder to help foster your continued growth. To help you get ready for a busy Fall Season below, check out Annie's exercise on creating Manifestation Goals. This exercise will help you get specific and focus your goals for the last remaining months of the year.
In addition, Annie and I will be at Actors Connection tomorrow hosting our popular workshop Booking Fall Film & TV Work. We hope you can join us! The event is free but registration is required.

Lastly, our Summer hiatus from the industry insight email has come to a close. As we move into the Fall, look for our industry email in your inbox bi-weekly.
Here's to a happy and bountiful Fall season!
