Entering the Room
• Give yourself time – don’t be in a frantic rush• Get into the zone (what is the zone for you?) Be calm!• How do I convince myself that I am enough? Self-talk:
“I am worthy of this role. I am castable.” • Give good energy! (Know what you give off!)• You have to embrace what you are!• They want to know that YOU ARE the part. They want
to see you being – not working!
- Acting is the art of self realization!-

Bust open your heart and give it to the character!
• Don’t let people psych you out!• The way you’re in your skin matters! Tension?
Make sure your choices are grounded and strong (not just showing – but being!)
• What risks am I supposed to take to have feeling? What am I resistant to? What am I embarrassed of?

How do I ground myself? Prepare?
• Get in the zone – the moment before the monologue!
• Know your relationship, what the character wants.
• Imagine the offer and give back.• Make your choices.• Note: Chairs take energy away!

Notes…
• Don’t play to the panel• Some people play a “Double Tactic” – (ie. Funeral hostess “plays happy on top of complete grief and sorrow)
• Nephew comes out with markers on body (funny but angry with him.)
