“Artists are like explorers, constantly gathering specific information and shifting it through their value systems, in search for clarification and underlying meaning”.
Artists live in their heads. Yes and it’s a world that never gets boring, however to the outsider we may not seem to be paying attention, but artists are very aware (hyper aware in fact) of everything.
Do you have love for adventure, willingness to step into the unknown, desire for discovery, non-attachment to outcome, willingness to get lost, receptivity to get found, sense of humour, etc. Then Congratulations you have all the abilities to be a character artist.
What artists do is to explore within his/her self how good one character they can play and give their best and get lost into that character so much that the director or producer should feel like that they are the only one for this character.
There are a handful people like that and you should not wait to explore yourself from within. We are here to guide you at every step and lead you to a successful career path.
