Feeling nervous before an audition? Don't let it hold you back! Channel that nervous energy into your character.

Auditions are the perfect opportunity to show off your emotional range!

Here's a fun trick: Consider letting out a powerful scream before your audition (not during!). This can help release tension, vent frustration, and lighten the mood for everyone in the room, including you!

(Seriously, where else can you legally scream your heart out?)

Fear can be your friend! Use it to connect with your character and bring intensity to your performance.

A negative mind might tell you that rejection is a dead end, that every "no" is a closed door. But we all know that's not the story!

Here's the truth: A positive mindset is your most powerful scene partner. It fuels your resilience, helps you learn from setbacks, and keeps that fire burning for your next big break.

So believe in yourself, even when the script gets tough.

Remember, every rejection is a redirection towards your dream role. Keep that positive light shining, and the stage will eventually be yours.

Happy new week😊

Tremendous night at the theatre! Great actor. Great production. Great direction. Great design. Set AND costumes. Even the tape recorder was great! Sublime!

Happy birthday Landmark Productions!

The actor had the forethought to record Krapp’s early tapes 12 years ago. What a pleasure to see, and hear, the result in the intimacy of Project Arts Centre

As an actor, it almost impossible to not get a "NO".

Don't personalize the "no." It's not about you, it's about the role, the project.........

Every "no" is a redirect to your "yes."

Maybe that audition was a stepping stone to a different, even better path.

Now go out there and make 'em cry, laugh, and everything in between. And hey, if you need an acting coach, my DMs are always open!

Happy new week✌

I used to get bummed after bad auditions too.

That self-doubt would creep in and mess with my next performance. But I found a way to banish those feelings and open up a "natural success channel" in my mind.
Here's how:

1. Relive the bad feelings (briefly!). Get in touch with them, see and hear what happened. Then...

2. Step outside the picture. ️ Imagine the audition as a scene in front of you. You're watching it, not in it.

3. Move the picture away. ‍♀️ Imagine it getting smaller and further, and feel your emotions shifting.

4. Drain the color and shrink it. Make it black and white, then tiny like a postage stamp.

5. Toss it away! Fling that bad audition into the past and watch it transform into positive light. ✨

6. Visualize your next triumph! Picture yourself shining at the next audition, feeling confident and nailing it.

Bonus tip: Before sleep, imagine your success and immerse yourself in those positive vibes.

Remember, every audition is a learning experience.

Use this technique to shake off the negativity and step into your next one feeling unstoppable!
