Fischer is familiar with how frustrating the process can be, especially when one hasn’t landed a job in some time. She has encouraging words for those who find themselves in that common position:

Don’t start to believe that you don’t have what it takes just because you’re facing road blocks and frustration. Part of the test of becoming a working actor is being able to be resilient and work through those road blocks in whatever way you can. As long as you are getting messages and small successes along the way, you need to have a good judgment of your progress. If you are in the same place you were four years ago, then maybe this isn’t the thing for you or maybe you are simply not doing the right thing to get ahead. If you are getting callbacks, have a talent agent and each year is better than the last, then you are probably on the right track. The number one lesson is that you must create your own work with other artists and create your own momentum. You can’t wait for other people to jump and give you jobs.
