POST AUDITION MINDSET EXERCISES

In collaboration with Amy Jessop (amyjessop.com) we bring you 'Master Your Audition Mindset - Post Audition Exercises'.

This 6 minute podcast is designed for you to listen to after you have left the audition room. We all know it is difficult to let the audition experience go and we often spend hours or days thinking it through, wondering what we could have done differently or why we haven't heard yet...

Amy talks you through exercises to help you acknowledge the audition and what happened and how to move on with you day knowing you did the job you needed to do.

This podcast will always be available for you to listen to whenever you leave an audition room.

Thanks again to Amy for this fantastic mini-series.
