You may be really passionate about your acting career and want to put yourself out there, embody some characters and defend some stories.However, you might not be booking lately, working full stop or getting the kind of work that you want. Since you're not seeing any results after working hard and investing a lot of money and time in your career, you might feel sad, frustrated, angry and hopeless.
However, when you watch my training below you'll discover that the real problem is not that you’re not having any results. The real issue is that you’re not taking care of that hopelessness and all those emotions first. So what often happens is that you repress them and carry them around in everything you do: in your headshots, reel, meetings, self tapes and auditions.There’s nothing wrong about feeling all those emotions, but if you don’t process them and let them flow with you, they stack up and you’re no longer in touch with your truth and talent.
And you may still try to get out of that hopelessness by booking some jobs, running from one opportunity to the next and trying to make things happen out there. But then, you get rejected again. So you accumulate more sadness, resentment and hopelessness and bring them with you in a very unconscious way. Therefore, you’re unable to create the results that you’re looking for.
The reason why you repress emotion is because we’ve been conditioned to be good, look strong and confident and behave in a way that pleases others. We’ve never been encouraged to be our true and authentic selves and feel what we feel, which is so essential as an actor, because your responsibility is about making sure that you can be comfortable with all the uncomfortable emotions so that you can portray your characters, having access to all of your instrument.
The invitation is for you to actually be with those sticky emotions that have stacked up with the years, no matter if you're really hopeless or if you think it's never gonna happen. It's time to feel those emotions before you take action so they can move through you, you can integrate them into your system and show up in your career from a place of presence, authenticity and freedom.
