Stay True to Your Passion and Creativity

Firstly, my advice is to never lose sight of your passion and creativity. Skit making is a form of art, and it’s essential to stay true to your unique voice and vision, and focus on developing your own style and tone.”
Be Open to Learning and Growth
“Always be open to learning and growth. The moment you think you know it all is the moment you start to stagnate. Keep experimenting with new ideas, formats, and genres. Collaborate with other creators, writers, and actors to bring fresh perspectives to your work.”
