Boost your self-confidence using powerful psychology techniques

Self-confidence is crucial to delivering a great performance, whether in the audition room, on stage, or on a film set.

Your confidence activates so-called “mirror neurons” in your audience, allowing them to relax and enjoy themselves – a great way to leave them wanting more.

But how can you reach this optimum level of self-confidence in situations that trigger your insecurities, such as before an audition, a table read, or on opening night?

These are the kinds of situations when nerves get in the way, sabotaging all the hard work you put in.

Often, this visceral response is accompanied by negative self-talk that further undermines your self-confidence.

This results in missed opportunities, regrets, and sometimes even the onset of stage fright.

If this sounds familiar, psychology can help.

Over the past few decades, psychologists have developed a range of powerful techniques to calm down nerves and boost self-confidence in high-stakes situations.

Self-Confidence for Actors explains in clear and jargon-free language how to apply these powerful psychology techniques to connect with your boldest self and perform at your best.

Read this book to discover:

  • How to prevent nerves from sabotaging your performance
  • How to radiate confidence in high-stakes situations
  • How to disarm your inner critic and conquer impostor syndrome
  • How to overcome stage fright
  • How to connect with your boldest self when it matters most
  • Practical strategies you can apply straight away

Short enough to read in an afternoon yet jam-packed with practical advice, Self-Confidence for Actors will transform your acting career.

This is recommended reading for any actor, from acting students to experienced professionals.
