In this week's episode of The Actor's Instrument, host, Hassiem Muhammad, goes solo to share his thoughts about the damaging trope that actors are told they must accept: that you must be poor to be an artist. There is no doubt that making it in the acting industry is a tall order, but that pathway to success must include confidence, the fortitude to reject negative self talk, and the ability to adopt a positive mindset. This episode is rich with tips for actors, and motivation for those who may be struggling to stay positive during this time.
