Welcome to The Aligned Actor Podcast! I’m Amy Schloerb, your friendly fellow actor and mindset coach. This is the podcast were I offer practical mindfulness tools and mindset shifts to help us all thrive in our full actor lives.
Actor Life is a roller coaster full of ups, downs, twist, turns, and sometimes full on loop-de-loops and the only way we will survive in this profession long-term is if we take care of ourselves and find effective ways to handle all the stress that the entertainment industry throws our way.
It’s time for your weekly roundup of 100 Days of Yapping aka “Amy Yaps About Actor Mindset!”
Today I have Day 22 through Day 28 for you.
In the videos I talk about…
* My free guided meditation that can help you get out of your head and rock your next audition.
* How rejection is just proof that you are an actor and go on to list some big, huge actors that have been rejected from roles.
* One of my favorite calming breath techniques, the double inhale with a long slow exhale and how it can help you calm your nerves before a big scene.
* The fact that rejection, uncertainty, and unpredictable urgency are present throughout our careers, and there’s no way to “make it” to a point that those side effects are eliminated.
* How we need to stop explaining ourselves to people who are outside the entertainment industry because they are never going to understand us as actors and we are just wasting our precious energy.
* The time that Sandra Bullock was declared “worst actress” and then “best actress” the very next night, thus proving that we will never get to a level in our careers where we don’t have to deal with rejection.
* The little mind trick I use to fill the “silence” that exists after I submit a self tape.
So without further ado, please enjoy!
