How to relax before an audition

How to relax before an audition

audition nerves dean west acting studio acting

 

How to relax before an audition can really make or break your behavior in the audition room.  If you are like most actors you have all the weight of your success on this one audition!  That is its own problem by itself.  You have to change the way you look at auditions.  Your belief structure is probably that if you book this one audition you can change your life.  Well, that could be the reason you don’t do so well in the audition.  Prepare for a marathon and not a sprint or you will be out of energy fast in this industry!  This is supposed to be fun remember?

Make sure that you don’t load un needed stress on yourself and then find a way to relax your beating heart and energy so that you can walk into that room with full awareness and presence so that your power can shine through.

This is an older video I had shot but I wanted to share it with you guys as it is a great way to relieve tension.
