As actors, you may feel a big passion about your career and a great desire to serve stories and characters. You may be even working a lot and yet when you hear “action” or when you’re on stage, you may not feel free, fulfilled and able to be in the moment and follow your impulses. You may not even be booking enough jobs because of your lack of freedom.
And you may have tried many acting schools, methods and techniques and still feel that when you’re acting, you’re not fully present, you’re not being yourself. Instead, you may catch yourself trying to please others, control the outcome of the scene and do it “right” for others.
As a result of this, you may think that no matter how much you try, your career will never happen or, at least, not the way you want it to happen.
When you watch my training below you'll discover that the real issue is to think that your level of freedom may change with the next booking or the next agent. It has nothing to do with external success. The freedom you’re looking for is never outside of you. It’s never in a teacher, method or technique. There is nothing you need to learn about being fully you as a human being. On the contrary, the more you follow new methods, gurus and acting teachers who tell you how to do it “right”, the more you walk away from yourself, from your impulses, feelings and instinct; and the more painful the experience will be.
Your freedom and uniqueness are always and already inside of you. You were born with them. And when you’re able to access them, then it feels captivating in a performance and fulfilling for you because you’re truly there. This is what casting directors are looking for.
However, as a child you were conditioned and told what to think, what to feel and not feel, what to eat, how to behave, etc so you could get external validation and fit. You became a pro at not being yourself. This definitely removed your inner connection with yourself. And as artists, what you’re looking for is to feel yourself and bring yourself to your discipline.
So the work to do is to undo that conditioning which is preventing you from being fully free, so your gold can shine and your uniqueness as a human being can serve your art and the audience.
