Acting Intensive - Day 2
I am an actor.
It feels good to say that.
It was weird. After improvising a scene with my partner that takes place prior to our assigned scene (you still following?), I was informed of a few things:
1. I am a much better actor than I give myself credit for.
2. I really am not as afraid as I think I am. In fact, I seem to be transforming someone else's fear into my own and that has to stop.
3. I am a strong and ballsy person and it's about time I started acting like it.
4. I have a 50+ year career ahead of me and I should not be afraid to start working on it now.
5. It is ok to follow your dreams; to give yourslef that permission. Do not worry about what other people will think. If they truly love you, they will always stand by you.
I think I love my life.
No. Wait.
I know I love my life.

There's a book I have called Effortless Mastery by Kenny Werner. It's definitely musician-oriented, but I think there's stuff in there that you would find useful. There's a lot on mental state/performing. I'll see if I can dig it up for you. You know, now that you have time for reading.
