There will come a time where you work hard to get as much work as you can. To keep pushing forward in a business where plenty comes in few quantities. Those little chances a performer gets when auditioning for their next gig. Life in entertainment can be short lived or harvested to extend till one so chooses to step down. It comes down to commitment or commit-quit. One must commit to taking chances, auditioning and never giving up. In this business once you are in, you have to keep working hard to stay in.
Where does commitment or Commit-quit come in? Rule of thumb in this business is “Don't over book what you can't handle.” A simplistic concept in itself. Don't give in to needing as much work as you can get. Take on work that you can handle. After any audition there usually is a schedule given out. If before, or after you audition, be honest with the company of people auditioning. Let them know your schedule beforehand to allow both parties, you and them, to see any conflicts that might occur.
Once you agree to a commitment you now enter another level of proper etiquette. Quitting after being hired for a gig can become damaging to your future career. Word spreads fast of names in this entertainment business. That is why when going out for auditions find your “needs and wants”. Do you NEED to work that you'll take anything, or do you WANT to work so you'll take anything. If you need work, remember, you might not like that particular gig. It's not about liking a gig it is about working as hard as you can to make that gig count. A want comes down to these same principles.
Stays focused and keep your commitments when you are given opportunities that others would fight hard for... don't commit-quit!
