Lesson Two
Definitely the flexible working hours!!! But seriously, I really enjoy the travelling and live performances. Performing is a passion, so any booking that allows you to do a performance with your character is a real success.
Another element of the job I enjoy is creating content. Plotting and writing skits, challenges me creatively which is what I love. Even more so when you can create brand partnerships.
Firstly, you often will miss important family events because you might be booked up for the weekend. You can’t cancel your gigs as it is your livelihood and is something you need to accept. Secondly, the issue of judging your worth based on the success of other creators.
This happens to almost all entertainers, but the reality is we are all on our own trajectory and at different stages of our career. So, when you are breaking into the industry, focus on your numbers and your work solely.
Try out new things to find what works for you and what does not, but definitely don’t compare yourself to others!
As my content is family friendly, my audience tends to be around the ages of 4 – 75 years. This places extreme pressure on myself due to the perception of what is expected of me. The way I present myself online or in public becomes very difficult, as you don not want to upset parents or disappoint fans.
However, as a 25-year-old, it is a struggle as I want to be able to have fun with friends and share it online without criticism. I do see this as a task in my process and am still trying to find the right balance.
Who should you compare yourself to as an entertainer?
