This blog post will surprise you. IF you’ve followed me at all, you know I like to make things happen! I go after life with fervor and teach others to do the same. In fact, I’ve even been known to tell you to say ‘yes’ to opportunities, ‘yes’ to life and ‘yes’ to things that might seem a little scary for you. But today I’m going to tell you how to say NO! Yes, I said it — NO! Now, here’s the funny thing about being an actor. We actually hear  the word NO a lot and yet, we...]]></description><link>https://www.organizedactor.com/post/mastering-the-scariest-word-in-your-vocabulary</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d1ebf2f7044e6cf7aed1a3</guid><category><![CDATA[The Business of Acting]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2026 05:05:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/04ac7d_5f4807baa3af46d99c5443e5ffee4db9~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Leslie Becker</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop Struggling With Being A Multi-Creative]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hands down, the question I get asked most is “How do you do so many things?” I’ll be honest, it can sometimes get super hectic. But I find I am the most alive and fulfilled when I have multiple things happening because each creative venture feeds the other.  In the current state of the industry, I think it’s rare to find an actor who doesn’t at least dabble in another creative arena . Whether you split your time between acting and directing, acting and producing or acting and writing, (or...]]></description><link>https://www.organizedactor.com/post/stop-struggling-with-being-a-multi-creative</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d1e9b5072d140cb9587dcd</guid><category><![CDATA[Life Hacks for Actors]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2026 04:56:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/04ac7d_b590004c9891430282bbf5ad1a1b4958~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Leslie Becker</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Best 6 Pieces of Advice I've Ever Gotten]]></title><description><![CDATA[“I just love when people outside of the business give me unsolicited advice,” said no actor ever! I mean... think about it. Nobody likes to get advice from Aunt Betty on how to be an actor, especially if all she has done is sing in the church choir.

But...]]></description><link>https://www.organizedactor.com/post/the-best-6-pieces-of-advice-i-ve-ever-gotten</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cee4462a4608ae001db1ad</guid><category><![CDATA[Life Hacks for Actors]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2026 21:53:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_eff66ff830ca4453b6b942fddb4d60db~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Leslie Becker</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 5 Books That Have Nothing and Everything To Do With Your Acting Career]]></title><description><![CDATA[I love to read. I am a perpetual student, an avid reader of business and self-development books, and I’m always on the hunt for the latest and greatest about the science of the mind. Yes, I love how the brain works.  In fact, I believe that most humans do not even come close to using the full potential of their brain in a lifetime.  There are a few books that have had massive impact on my life and have remained the ones I go back to over and over and over again.

And let’s be honest, all of us want to have an impressive one. Many young actors have a fear around “not having enough credits.” Heck, sometimes veteran actors have the same fear. And in an industry where we all want to stand out, it’s easy to think you can do that with your resume. However, your resume is actually one of the most important ways you need to blend in rather than stand out. I know that sounds against everything you might think, but it is...]]></description><link>https://www.organizedactor.com/post/five-things-not-to-include-on-your-resume</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cc54fc233e0dec99360ff7</guid><category><![CDATA[Acting Tips]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 23:23:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/04ac7d_72eb3dfb34054377b364760c8ccb6574~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Leslie Becker</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 3 Things I Did RIGHT and WRONG at the Beginning of My Career]]></title><description><![CDATA[In case you were wondering... yes, I’ve made mistakes in my career!   Some really big ones actually!
