Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian actress Ama K. Abebrese has expressed her opinions on the difficulties that actors encounter both within and outside the entertainment sector.
During an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s show ‘Changes’, she highlighted the importance of resilience in acting, citing the challenges faced when trying to land movie roles.
“I hear ‘I want to act’ all the time. Being an actor is one of the most disappointing things you can be. It doesn’t matter what part of the world you’re in.
Let’s say that you’ve auditioned for something you think you’ve done so great, and sometimes you can go to your first, second, or third; they can call you back like four times, and by the fourth time you think you’ve started cashing the cheque, knowing you’ve got the role, and then you don’t get it. So, it builds you up and pushes you down.
So, you need to have a level of tough skin because it gets to a point where you start taking it personally,” she said.
“If I didn’t get it, it just meant sometimes it’s not for me, and there are times when you find out who got the role, and then you understand why you were not given the role,” she further noted.
