I'm actually getting a little money back from the government in 8-15 days, which most importantly puts a little cushion between me and the street, but also provides me with a chance to invest a little money in myself.
I'm on the fence here.
I could stand to get new headshots. I don't desperately need them, but the time is soon approaching. I think it would probably be ridiculous to use the current shot, say, next year. Of course, new headshots don't necessarily open any doors, but I'd love to have a shot with a more neutral expression and more of my torso, so you can see my body type in my headshot.
I could also use the money to take classes with agents/casting directors. Which is essentially paying money to make sure these people know who you are. I would love it if there was an easy way to see industry folk without paying any money, but I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure one out.
I could also use it to take another improv class, or a stand-up bootcamp.
All of this has made me realize how actors always seem to be chasing that one thing they think is keeping them from getting auditions/callbacks/bookings/agents. "If I had a new headshot..." "If I had a better resume..." "If I wore glasses..." You can drive yourself crazy trying to figure this out, and completely empty your checkbook. Checkbook? Who the hell uses a checkbook any more?
You get the point. Acting's hard.
