For actors

Drama without the drama.

Two hypnosis audio programs for the moments that make actors nervous. Answer a few quick questions and we'll point you to the right one.

Which one is you?

Where do your nerves hit hardest?

Does the thought of your first audition make your stomach drop?

How many classes, open calls or student films have you passed on because of that feeling?

Every working actor walked into a first audition once.

What if you rehearsed the nerves before you ever walked in, the same way you rehearse the lines?

Good. Then what has held you back so far?

Do you nail your sides at home, then walk into the room and feel it all slip away?

How many drives home have you spent replaying every line you rushed?

That isn't a talent problem. It isn't a prep problem either.

Did you know some actors prepare their nerves the way they prepare their lines, with headphones on and eyes closed, before they ever leave the house?

Have you ever recorded the same self tape twenty times because every take felt stiff?

How many submissions went out late, or never went out at all, because you couldn't stand to watch one more take?

The camera isn't the problem. Neither is your talent.

What if your next take started with half an hour of quiet, eyes closed, before you ever hit record?

Does your heart start pounding the second you hear "places"?

Has fear ever made you play it safe in a scene you knew cold, and left you wondering what it could have been?

You warm up your voice. You warm up your body.

What if you warmed up your nerves the same way?

Does your chest tighten the second you hear "action"?

How many takes have you watched later and seen the nerves instead of the character?

You learn your lines before call time.

What if you settled your nerves before call time too?

Have you ever watched a strong actor fall apart the second the camera rolled?

How many takes, and how much of your day, has that cost the production?

You can't direct nerves away on the day.

What if your cast showed up with their nerves already handled?

Good to hear.

Then these programs may not be what you need right now. Thanks for telling us. It helps us decide what to make next.

Thanks. That helps.

Acting Tricks is building more tools for actors. Your answer helps us decide what comes next.

You know the room.

The sign in sheet. The folding chairs. A row of actors who look a little like you, running the same sides under their breath. Then they call your name, and you have a few minutes to show them what you can do.

Acting Tricks collects tools for that moment. It starts with these two audio programs.
