You may be doing all the things in an actor's life such as going from acting class to acting class, redoing your reel or headshots; you may have an agent or may be looking for another one, you may be doing casting director workshops, reaching out to directors and sending them your materials, etc. In short, you may have invested a lot of your time and money in everything an actor should do. And yet, you may feel you’re not getting the results that you want. Therefore, you may feel frustrated, overwhelmed and burned out.
You may also feel that you’re working non-stop, but the type of work and roles you do doesn’t fulfill you. Instead, you may feel horrible and painful sensations when you act. So in order to fix this, you may work harder, get a bigger coach, go to a bigger acting school, invest more time and money.
However, When you watch my training below you will discover that the reason why you’re not getting the results that you want is not because you need to work harder or try another method or technique. It’s actually the opposite. The real issue is that you’re running from one place to the other while you’re in a cage. So inevitably you show up for everything from a caged place.
You’re locked up in a cage and that cage is your conditioning. Since you were little, you were conditioned to think, behave and feel a certain way so you could fit in. You have hardly ever been allowed and encouraged to actually feel your own feelings. At home, you were asked to repress your sadness, tears, anger, etc. Then, at school you were asked to sit down and be quiet. If you did something that was considered “wrong”, you were punished and ashamed.
Then, as an actor, when you show up in your auditions, self tapes, reel, meetings with agents, etc; inevitably you do it from that place where you’re caged. This can definitely impact your booking ratio and fulfillment. When you’re caged, acting becomes painful and a lot of hard work.
The work to do for you to be able to show up completely free, open, present and alive is to walk out of that cage and undo that conditioning so you can be the free and full version of yourself.
