Tools for the Healthy Actor:
Create your Encouragement File
Had this experience lately? You feel great about your audition and walked out feeling powerful only to find out later that you didn't even get a callback? Whether you are new to acting or a veteran in the business, we all have days when disappointment and discouragement feel overwhelmingly heavy. In these moments, who hasn't occasionally given in to one or the other extreme reactions: You either immediately begin to tear yourself down and demean your look or abilities, or you rant about those idiot Casting Directors for not seeing you clearly in a role you were born to play!
The Encouragement File is an easy solution and a creative tool to remind you of the goodness of you! It's easy to set up and as it grows, so will it's power to encourage you when you need it most! What is it? A file to keep any especially meaningful emails, notes, letters, Facebook or Twitter posts, etc from people who matter to you. Collect these items to remind you of who you are and what you do well. Sound too simple? You might be surprised. And no, you don't have to tell anyone you are doing this.
