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.

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best frien Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best friend, and ride or die—though hopefully it never comes to that 🤷🏻‍♂️.

15 years ago today, we said “I do.” Michelle’s came out more like a question, but in her defense, our priest had a speech impediment.

Life isn’t always what you expect. It can get hard. But when you’ve got someone you love and trust by your side, nothing life throws at you really matters.

Every bit of pain or pleasure is better with you next to me. I love you, Mich. And I look forward to every tomorrow with you and our little psycho ❤️❤️❤️

No. You don’t have to have acting class to succ No.  You don’t have to have acting class to succeed….. BUT…. Acting class isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s where you sharpen your craft, learn a shared vocabulary, and build skills to speak the same language as your peers. Even if you think you don’t need it, having a strong foundation ensures you’re ready to bring your best to any role. 🎭✨ Let’s keep growing together!

AI is getting scary good. But here’s the thing — we already couldn’t tell what was real. Now it’s about to get even messier.
Be cautious. Don’t send money just because a voice or face looks familiar. Don’t trust every headline. Don’t click every link.
The world’s about to get wacky — keep your eyes open and your instincts sharper. 🧠⚡️
