Embrace The Path of Most Acceptance

This guided meditation is designed to get you in a flow state so that you can memorize with ease.

Complete with visualizations and affirmations, this will get you ready to learn your lines.

You must change your attitude toward line memorization. 

The goal with this meditation?

Actually make memorizing lines something you look forward to.

Think about it like this...

...you’ve been giving the opportunity to perform, and these words are a big part of what you need to express. I'd argue (and do argue) that they are THE biggest aspect of the actor's performance.

When comes to learning lines, don't be agitated ... meditate.

Description:

In this episode, I delve into the provocative question: 

Why are good monologues so hard to find?

Believe it or not it has more to do with using those dusty skills you learned in 10th grade English than your ability to act reel gud.

Find out why exposition, context, and self-indulgence are the biggest enemies to a great audition monologue.

The theatre life has constantly been synonymous with poverty. The struggling, starving artist is romanticized and held up as someone who is not motivated by money and therefore doesn't need any ... but this mindset has a cost.

I argue that the stories we tell ourselves in the theatre will continue to keep us suffering. We are storytellers for goodness sake ...
