When actors begin working with me, they often tell me that they struggle with reaching deep emotions take after take, like sadness or rage - the types of emotions you'd expect from a dramatic work. But once we start digging deeper, we uncover something surprisingly stickier - joy. At first glance, joy seems like it would be easy to express. You've been happy plenty of times before, and you know what it looks and feels like, right? But because joy is such a lighthearted emotion, it can be difficult to achieve (especially under the pressure of an audition or on set) if you are not 100% free and instinctive.

Now back to our story…
When you watch my free training, you’ll discover...
The hard truth is that as long as your instrument is still resistant and not totally free, you will never be able to reach joy in a pure and repeated way.
The door to access such blissful, delicious joy inside of you has literally been wired shut.
Once you're able to break down and through your resistance and experience being YOU fully, freely and wholeheartedly, then you will regain access to joy.
So, even though this discussion sounds like a major downer, I don't want you to lose hope. It's not as bad as it sounds: the REAL YOU hasn’t been deleted. ;) It is just deep inside of you, waiting to be freed.
