If you have seen the movie Don’t Look Up, read the novel The Help, or listened to the song This is America by Childish Gambino, you have experienced a form of entertainment. Whether they are subtle or direct, these forms of entertainment use the platform they are given to present narratives that can spark change within societies and cultures.
When trying to make it in the entertainment industry, it’s important for potential performers to understand that it’s not just about their performance abilities and how they can connect with audiences. It’s also about how they can effectively run their business as an enterprise that makes a profit. To do this, potential entertainers should keep an eye out for what other successful performers are doing (both in terms of performance style and how their businesses are run) and learn from them. By doing this, they can develop their skills and build a unique style that sets them apart from the competition.
