Make No Excuses

Make no excuses. Acting professional involves sometimes swallowing bad working conditions. Nobody cares whether you just couldn’t get the five mins score done in one day or whether your cat has been sick or if your computer crashed every three clicks or your stupid director is the reason why your music is not great.

What you present or publish needs to stand for itself. There’s nothing wrong in commenting on things that are still obviously work in progress though (like sketches that you present to directors), however it is not professional to whine on any issues that probably everybody working in the same field has to deal with. Don’t just go for “If x were (not) happening, my music would be way better.” Just make it better or don’t mention it. Anything else feels unprofessional in a professional working environment.
