Find yourself sabotaging auditions with nervousness or wishing you had a better way to prepare yourself to be more consistent? Are you frustrated because you can totally kill it in rehearsal, but for some reason inexplicably choke onstage now and then? There's nothing wrong with you. It's not a sign "from the universe" that you shouldn't be an actor. It's actually the opposite.
Join Holly Shaw, creativity coach, hypnotherapist and SAG-AFTRA actor, learn tools to help you master your “Audition Mindset” and how to use your audition nerves to create magnetic and powerful energy in auditions, onstage, and on film. In this two hour free workshop, Holly Shaw shares her secrets from over twenty years of studying performance anxiety and from performing in T.V., film, and on stages all over the world.
You'll learn:
- The Must-Have Mindset for auditions and how you can use it to be more consistent
- The three areas that affect your auditions the most and how you can begin to master them
- A proven-effective method for managing stage fright that you can begin using right away
- A simple and quick warm up to feel "on" in your auditions
- Exactly why you sabotage yourself in auditions even when you know you're good at what you do
- How you can recover from traumatic experiences inside the industry or out so that you can show up to auditions "baggage free"
The film industry is in a big upheaval right now - things that were hidden are finally coming to the surface, and change is good. It is an opening for something different, a shift in power and a new way of working creatively together. But this also can trigger a lot of emotions from actors in the industry and make it harder than ever to show up as vibrantly as you know is possible.
You have a choice: you can either shrink away or let the old paradigms return or empower yourself to feel safe. Safe to be seen and ready to become a leader in reshaping this creative industry the way we would like it to be. In this workshop you’ll have the opportunity to get real practical tools that not only make you better at auditions, but help you address what’s under the surface as well so true consistent change can happen. Learn to master your audition mindset and learn to master yourself so you can get the roles you know you know you’re meant for!
