PERSON_PROFILE

WARNING: Do not continue pursuing acting success before reading this shocking truth: What you don't know about being a working actor that could cost you all your bookings, your sanity and your financial livelihood.

Why are we publishing this free info:
Because there is nothing more fascinating than an actor who is fully unleashed, free and truthful.
And therefore, if you are an actor and you are able to show up, and I mean REALLY show up… You actually have the power to awaken your audience.
In other words, you can make a significant impact on a person, a group, a community, or even an entire culture with your truth.
That is why it saddens me to witness empty content portrayed by uninspired actors in front of audiences that are asleep, unaware of the time they are wasting.

In other words, I am sick and tired of seeing actors -of all levels- suffer.

Having worked with more than 4000 actors worldwide, I've seen a transformation.

Everyday, I see actors go from pain and doubt to being able to secure the roles they really want, to convey stories that truly matter to them and that impact their audience..
However, despite this progress, I still see the majority of actors stuck in painful patterns.
So, it's time to give back and make the truth accessible to everyone.
Here we go.

Let's uncover all the harmful beliefs and rules learned in acting school that are preventing you from BOOKING THE NEXT LEVEL ROLES YOU ACTUALLY WANT!!!

1/There is a right way to do a scene.
That is a lie.
There is no right way to do a scene.
There is therefore no wrong way to do a scene.

Why? Because acting is not math, it’s an art form.

And in any artistic discipline, there is no right way ( or wrong way) to paint, to sculpt, to sing, to draw, to write, to dance.
There is just YOUR way, YOUR artistic take on it. That is the whole point ;-)

2/In order to book, I have to be better than others.
Another lie.
Again acting is an art form, not a sport where you compete to win by scoring the most points!
Art is about fully expressing what others dare not. It’s about revealing what others would rather hide. It’s about experiencing the circumstances of your character in the moment and in front of everyone, and -yes- risking to expose things you didn't even know were gonna come up.
Bookings and success are just the consequence of your ability to stand exposed in your truth. Because when you can do that, you provide medicine and healing to your audience who is reminded that they too, are having their human experience.

3/In order to be great in an audition or scene I have to relax before I start.
Really?!
If that were true - and since acting is the art of being fully alive - would that mean we are all relaxed when we live our lives?
Are you relaxed when you go to the dentist?
Are you relaxed when you fight with your partner?
Are you relaxed when you have a family gathering?
Are you relaxed when you are doing your taxes at midnight and your kids are sick calling you in the other room and you are sleep deprived?

NO YOU ARE NOT!!

Truthful acting does not start by feeling something you would NEVER feel if it happened to you in real life.

Do NOT relax.
FEEL whatever it is you feel.
Let that energy live in your body.
BE FULLY AND TRUTHFULLY ALIVE.

4/I need to be confident as an actor.
NO YOU DO NOT.
Confidence is shallow. You need to be present, not confident.

The casting director and audience want authenticity, not a facade of how put together you are in public!

Actually trying to appear confident is the worst, most fabricated and therefore fake thing you can do.
SO I REPEAT: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE CONFIDENT, YOU NEED TO BE PRESENT.

Same here as in the above paragraph about relaxation.
Why?
Because it’s never about looking good, it’s about really being here, present, no matter how you feel. The casting director and the audience are interested in what is really happening to you, not in how well you can pretend!!

5/I need to prepare as hard and as much as possible before doing a scene.
This is absolutely false.
Actually you should not want to know how the scene is going to go, because the second you know how the scene goes, you are dead ( that is: not alive in the moment).

Meryll says the difference between the good and the great actor is: The great actor is ready to walk out on a limb.
EXACTLY, thanks Meryll, you say it best. If you know everything about how the scene will go, it will be meh… Good… Ok… Correct… You won’t make a mistake. Just like at school. Good girl, good boy kind of work.

Except again, art is not about being a good student, it's about being 100% alive, ready to be fully in the moment, raw, vulnerable, not knowing what will happen and ready to fall flat on your face in order to bring real life to your character in front of everyone.

6/I am not as good as others, and I need to improve in order to become better.
ARGH!!! This belief is infuriating to me!!!
You were born perfect and equal to everybody else.
You cannot possibly improve or get better. You are a finished product and all the traditional acting teachers out there are capitalising on your desperation… building their business on making you believe that you are not good enough and that you should therefore improve.

And they, of course, have the solution.
Or worse they ARE the solution.
Yukki, yukki.

I could write 3 books about just this alone.
You are a perfect human.
You are a beautifully fucked up human being.
Nothing to fix.
You have it all in.
All there is to do, is to unlearn what made you believe you are not perfect.

There are about another 100 myths you have been taught at school that I want to bust because they are so counter nature and they keep you so far from what you deserve as an artist and human but I might start to get bitter and you might start to get impatient about what to do about all this ;-)

So here is what we can do … I am going to be hosting a FREE training during which we will:
- uncover what is in the way of you REALLY showing up truthfully,
- share what you can do to reset in order to show up fully freed up,
- reveal the only one thing that can guarantee you will book your next level job.

I promise this will not be a waste of your time.

Your perspective about acting, your career, your fulfilment and your impact will dramatically transform.

See you there. Jo
