⚡️ INTRO: Shatter the Illusion
If you think the goal is to “get rid of nerves,” you’re already playing the wrong game.
Nerves are not a problem.
They’re not weakness. They’re not proof you’re unprepared.
They are energy. They are focus. They are your body screaming,
“THIS MATTERS.”
But most actors?
They fight that feeling. Try to suppress it. Breathe it away. Numb it out.
And in doing so, they lose the very power that was meant to drive them.
🎭 MY STORY: The Audition That Broke Me (And Made Me)
There was one audition early in my career I’ll never forget.
I was shaking. Palms sweaty. Tunnel vision. I kept thinking, “Just stay calm… just act natural…”
And then I walked into the room — and I froze.
Not because I didn’t know the lines. But because I was so busy trying to stop feeling, I couldn’t connect.
That moment taught me something I’ve carried ever since:
When you fight nerves, you disconnect.
When you embrace them, you come alive.
💥 THE MYTH: “If I’m Nervous, I’m Not Ready”
This is the lie that’s been drilled into so many actors.
That nerves mean you’re not good enough. Not prepared enough. Not professional.
So we waste energy trying to fake calm — instead of learning to channel truth.
But here’s what casting directors have told me directly (and I’ve now seen in hundreds of my own students):
They don’t want perfect. They want present.
And presence only happens when you stop resisting the truth of the moment — including your nerves.
🧠 THE SHIFT: Don’t Calm Down. Tune In.
What if nerves weren’t something to get rid of… but something to ride?
What if every beat of your racing heart was fuel for connection?
Actors in my Master Your Audition Nerves masterclass learn this fast:
You don’t need to calm down. You need to focus.
You need to breathe with the energy, not against it.
You need to lean in to what your body is telling you, not shut it off.
Because that fear you’re feeling?
That’s not a problem.
That’s power.
That’s proof you care. That’s presence trying to happen.
🎯 PRACTICAL VALUE: 3 Nerve-Taming Shifts You Can Use Right Now
1. Stop Saying “Calm Down” — Say “Get Clear”
The brain listens to language. Stop telling it to suppress. Start telling it to focus.
“I’m excited. I’m focused. I’m ready to connect.”
That’s your new inner monologue.
2. Channel the Energy into the Character
You feel jittery? Beautiful — so does your character. Let the nerves become theirs. Let them inform the moment. Don’t hide them — use them.
3. Create a Pre-Audition Ritual
Top athletes don’t wing it. Neither should you.
Design a 3–5 minute ritual you can repeat every time: grounding breathwork, visualisation, movement. That repetition builds trust in yourself — and dissolves fear over time.
🔥 FINAL CHALLENGE: Flip the Script
So here’s the new standard:
Stop trying to kill your nerves. Learn to lead with them.
Use them as a compass. Let them remind you why you started this journey in the first place.
Fear isn’t your enemy. It’s your electricity.
Use it right — and you won’t just survive your next audition.
You’ll own it.
