Acknowledging The Elephant In The Audition Room

Hello and welcome back to The Aligned Actor Substack.I’m Amy Schloerb your friendly neighborhood actor and mindfulness and mindset coach for actors and creatives, offering practical ideas and inspirations to help you thrive in your full #ActorLife.Last week we talked about letting yourself want to book the part and how acknowledging YOUR want can actually help you stay focused on what your character wants in the scene.Both wants — the actor’s and the character’s — exist in our present moment. Mindfulness helps us acknowledge our want without resisting or attaching to it. From that acknowledging, non-attachment space, we are free to focus more easily on our character’s want.This week we’re gonna put that idea into practice! I have a guided audio that’s going to help you get out of your head and rock your audition.To make the most of this audio you will need…* a scene (audition, classwork, job, etc)* to know what your character wants in that sceneIf you want to be able to download a copy of the meditation to keep forever and always, you can get it here free.
