00:00:08.777 --> 00:00:13.097
I'm a professional dancer and performer who started out this career crippled
00:00:13.097 --> 00:00:18.957
in self-doubt and overwhelm and wondering how I would ever quote-unquote make it in this industry,
00:00:19.217 --> 00:00:23.697
to having now lived out my dream career as a professional dancer and performer
00:00:23.697 --> 00:00:26.137

00:01:11.117 --> 00:01:14.417
Let's begin. But first, alignment.
00:01:18.385 --> 00:01:23.465
Hello, hello, and welcome to this Magnetic Performer Audition Masterclass.
00:01:23.865 --> 00:01:27.105
My name is Grace, and I'm a mindset mentor for performers.
00:01:27.525 --> 00:01:31.305
I've been a professional dancer and performer for over 11 years,
00:01:31.645 --> 00:01:35.745
including for companies like Princess Cruises, The Crazy Paris Show in Macau,
00:01:35.965 --> 00:01:40.185
as well as Club Cubic in Macau, Crystal Cruises, Tokyo Disney, and more.
00:01:40.765 --> 00:01:46.945
It was my dream to have longevity in my career and to be a performer on stage,
00:01:46.945 --> 00:01:51.185
and it was something that really intimidated me when I was training in full-time,
00:01:51.385 --> 00:01:54.485
when I was auditioning, when I was trying to navigate the industry.
00:01:54.985 --> 00:02:00.445
I felt like I had this really strong desire to be this performer and be this
00:02:00.445 --> 00:02:03.485
professional dancer, but I don't know how it's going to happen.
00:02:03.565 --> 00:02:08.605
And I feel daunted by auditioning and by all of the incredible performers who
00:02:08.605 --> 00:02:10.965
are out there in the industry who I'm going to be, you know,
00:02:11.065 --> 00:02:12.165
quote unquote, up against.
00:02:12.905 --> 00:02:17.685
And it was through doing the manifestation, the mindset and the energetic healing
00:02:17.685 --> 00:02:21.505
work that I was able to manifest the career of my dreams.
00:02:21.925 --> 00:02:26.925
So I am so, so excited that you are here today because it means that you are
00:02:26.925 --> 00:02:31.105
ready to start really powerfully utilizing the energetic,
00:02:31.365 --> 00:02:35.885
the mindset and the manifestation work to combine with all of the practical
00:02:35.885 --> 00:02:39.285
training that you have done for yourself and for your career.
00:02:40.378 --> 00:02:46.298
Okay, so our first pillar for being in our magnetic and most confident energy
00:02:46.298 --> 00:02:49.278
when we perform and when we audition is mindset.
00:02:49.978 --> 00:02:54.058
And the biggest thing that I want to share with you guys today about mindset,
00:02:54.258 --> 00:02:59.058
the biggest shift that I could possibly give you in this masterclass is that
00:02:59.058 --> 00:03:03.558
we want to shift our mindset from self-focused to service-focused.
00:03:04.098 --> 00:03:08.798
And what I mean by that is when we're leading up to an audition or a performance,
00:03:09.138 --> 00:03:14.338
whatever it may be, our ego, our inner child, right?
00:03:14.558 --> 00:03:17.978
Those parts of us that need that bit of extra love and support,
00:03:18.178 --> 00:03:23.638
those parts of us where our insecurities are harbored, where past wounds might be harbored, etc.
00:03:24.318 --> 00:03:29.318
They start to come up, right? I know we've all had that kind of experience and
00:03:29.318 --> 00:03:33.658
they come up in the form of, again, like feeling our insecurities or feeling
00:03:33.658 --> 00:03:38.278
self-doubt or feeling worried about the worst case scenario happening in the audition.
00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:42.158
We can get really worried about what the casting panel is going to think of
00:03:42.158 --> 00:03:46.418
us, what our agent's going to think of us, depending on how this audition goes
00:03:46.418 --> 00:03:50.998
and how well we perform or whether we get chosen for the job and booked on it, right?
00:03:51.558 --> 00:03:55.718
There are many, many things that can come up for us. And that's all totally
00:03:55.718 --> 00:03:59.498
normal, right? That's all totally part of the path of being a performer.
00:03:59.718 --> 00:04:04.278
And it's part of that maturing process for us as individuals and that opportunity
00:04:04.278 --> 00:04:08.878
to really develop mastery in our relationship with ourselves and in mastering
00:04:08.878 --> 00:04:14.618
our mindset so that we can shine in our career and be in our most magnetic energy,
00:04:14.618 --> 00:04:19.898
but also so that we can enjoy it and not spend so much time in our insecurities
00:04:19.898 --> 00:04:23.198
and in our self-doubt and ruminating in our own minds, right?
00:04:23.578 --> 00:04:27.498
So when we're self-focused, we're allowing that sort of younger,
00:04:27.738 --> 00:04:34.298
less mature part of our brain to really put our focus and zoom it in,
00:04:34.358 --> 00:04:37.958
in, in, in on us and what everybody thinks of us.
00:04:38.118 --> 00:04:40.278
All those things are just listed, et cetera, right?
00:04:41.846 --> 00:04:45.526
The biggest thing we can do for ourselves and the best mindset shift we can
00:04:45.526 --> 00:04:50.906
make before performing and auditioning is shifting from, I'm not focusing on
00:04:50.906 --> 00:04:55.306
me right now, I'm focusing on the service that I'm here to give as a performer.
00:04:55.646 --> 00:05:00.666
Because whether you're a dancer, a model, a singer, like whatever you are,
00:05:00.986 --> 00:05:06.686
if you're a vessel who's in front of people to deliver like choreography or
00:05:06.686 --> 00:05:09.586
to bring a shoot to life or to bring a story to life, right?
00:05:09.586 --> 00:05:14.246
Ultimately, no matter what you are as a performer, you are a storyteller.
00:05:14.506 --> 00:05:19.286
You are being watched by an audience of some kind to bring a story to life and
00:05:19.286 --> 00:05:21.106
to make them feel something. Yeah.
00:05:21.546 --> 00:05:26.426
And this is the thing that we can just forget so easily when we're coming up
00:05:26.426 --> 00:05:27.686
to performing and auditioning.
00:05:27.906 --> 00:05:32.446
Because again, that part of our brain and that part of ourselves starts to put
00:05:32.446 --> 00:05:36.946
all of that focus onto ourselves and starts to zoom in, in, in, in, in on us.
00:05:38.026 --> 00:05:43.386
When we shift that focus from being self-focused to being service-focused,
00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:46.966
there's no more room to think about ourselves.
00:05:47.326 --> 00:05:51.366
There's no more room to think about our insecurities because we're focusing
00:05:51.366 --> 00:05:54.826
on how can I best bring this like choreography to life?
00:05:54.986 --> 00:05:59.866
How can I execute this choreography in the best way possible for how the choreographer
00:05:59.866 --> 00:06:03.586
has created it and for what this show is about and for what this show needs, right?
00:06:04.675 --> 00:06:09.275
When we put our focus onto, how's the audience going to feel when I step on
00:06:09.275 --> 00:06:12.175
stage and do this? What experience are they going to have?
00:06:12.675 --> 00:06:18.335
When we've put that focus onto service, we don't have room anymore to be all
00:06:18.335 --> 00:06:19.855
caught up in our heads about ourselves.
00:06:20.335 --> 00:06:27.295
I hope that's making sense because this shift is so, so, so powerful and changes
00:06:27.295 --> 00:06:29.735
everything. Changed everything for me when it came to mindset.
00:06:30.975 --> 00:06:34.035
So in terms of like our auditioning and our performing, like,
00:06:34.195 --> 00:06:38.215
yes, it's about us to the extent that we are, you know, hopefully doing work
00:06:38.215 --> 00:06:41.295
that we absolutely love and doing work that lights us up.
00:06:41.355 --> 00:06:44.755
And if you want help with being able to manifest that, you're also in the right place.
00:06:45.135 --> 00:06:49.735
That's work that I love, love, love supporting performers with as well and teaching on as well.
00:06:49.855 --> 00:06:53.155
And we're going to touch on a little bit of that towards the end of this masterclass today.
00:06:54.075 --> 00:06:57.755
But it's about us in the sense that we're here
00:06:57.755 --> 00:07:00.555
to do our work and do our service and
00:07:00.555 --> 00:07:03.675
live out our dreams right but beyond that it's not
00:07:03.675 --> 00:07:06.495
about us it's not about what this
00:07:06.495 --> 00:07:09.815
person thinks of what we're wearing today or what this person thinks
00:07:09.815 --> 00:07:13.795
about performing and whether it's good enough etc right and
00:07:13.795 --> 00:07:16.675
not that there isn't a time and place to have kind of
00:07:16.675 --> 00:07:20.195
some inquiry about around different things and around more
00:07:20.195 --> 00:07:23.075
of the semantics and the smaller things yes there can be time
00:07:23.075 --> 00:07:26.495
for that depending on the situation but in
00:07:26.495 --> 00:07:30.835
general what really trips us up when we're going to perform and when we're going
00:07:30.835 --> 00:07:35.355
to audition is we get so zoomed in on ourselves and so what the casting panel
00:07:35.355 --> 00:07:41.015
in an audition situation then sees is someone who's feeling wobbly in themselves
00:07:41.015 --> 00:07:44.955
and feeling worried about what everyone thinks of them and what is the casting
00:07:44.955 --> 00:07:46.275
panel actually waiting for.
00:07:47.013 --> 00:07:51.453
They're waiting to see someone who has the skills that is required for the role
00:07:51.453 --> 00:07:55.473
that they're auditioning for, and they're waiting to be moved.
00:07:55.753 --> 00:08:00.893
They're waiting to feel something. They're waiting to connect with you on the emotional level.
00:08:01.053 --> 00:08:04.733
And they can't do that if you've totally forgotten about the story that you're
00:08:04.733 --> 00:08:07.873
telling and you're totally thinking about yourself and the things that you're
00:08:07.873 --> 00:08:09.813
worried about. Is that making sense?
00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:15.933
So in terms of our mindset, we want to make that shift before we go to the audition,
00:08:16.053 --> 00:08:19.553
whether it's the day before, the night before, as we're walking into the room,
00:08:19.733 --> 00:08:23.853
I remind myself of this like as many times as I need to in the lead up to an
00:08:23.853 --> 00:08:24.833
audition and a performance.
00:08:26.053 --> 00:08:31.413
And I'll just remind myself, it's not about me. Nobody has me under a microscope.
00:08:32.073 --> 00:08:35.973
Yes, attention will be on me because I'm one of the storytellers,
00:08:36.113 --> 00:08:41.473
I'm one of the performers up there, but they're looking at me to have an experience.
00:08:41.533 --> 00:08:44.693
They're looking at me to have a story told to them.
00:08:44.953 --> 00:08:49.653
They're not looking at me to put me under some kind of microscope or scrutinize
00:08:49.653 --> 00:08:52.993
all of my insecurities or things like that. That's not the case, right?
00:08:53.913 --> 00:09:01.133
So first thing about our mindset is shifting from self-focus to being service-focused.
00:09:02.119 --> 00:09:05.339
I so invite you to try this out the next time you're auditioning and performing
00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:11.159
and feel the amount of space it gives you in your brain and feel the difference
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.659
in your performing when you do this, when you are focusing on serving the show that you're in,
00:09:15.939 --> 00:09:18.019
serving the choreography that you've been given,
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.579
serving the material you've been given and what the audience experience of it
00:09:22.579 --> 00:09:27.619
is or what the casting panel's experience of it is, like that emotional experience,
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.319
that emotional connection to it.
00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:34.659
It's like night and day, the difference in the experiences. So first thing around
00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:38.099
our mindset is shifting from self-focused to service-focused.
00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:42.479
The second piece of our mindset that I really want to get into with you guys
00:09:42.479 --> 00:09:47.019
today is shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.
00:09:47.499 --> 00:09:52.239
When we go to auditions, and this is for like probably more specifically auditions
00:09:52.239 --> 00:09:56.759
than if you're already cast in a show and you're already performing and things
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.919
like that, you're already on a job.
00:09:58.819 --> 00:10:04.279
But in terms of like auditions or say you are on a job and the casting team
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.079
has come in to watch and they're looking at who they're going to offer their
00:10:07.079 --> 00:10:08.439
next contracts to, et cetera.
00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:17.019
When we're in a scarcity mindset, it really like shrinks our energy field down
00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:22.159
because we start to feel like that survival mode turning on, right?
00:10:22.339 --> 00:10:26.059
Because it's this paradigm that there's not enough for everyone.
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.119
And I don't know about you guys, but when I went to my full-time course, there was this.
00:10:32.133 --> 00:10:37.373
Narrative and kind of feeling that there wasn't going to be enough work for everyone.
00:10:38.793 --> 00:10:45.773
And that really puts us into a state of feeling that fight or flight energy, right?
00:10:46.053 --> 00:10:52.033
And how can people be like, feel that magnetic energy, that completely like
00:10:52.033 --> 00:10:55.773
self-loving, self-assured magnetic energy.
00:10:55.893 --> 00:10:59.413
Like when you are watching somebody on stage, like think of a performer you
00:10:59.413 --> 00:11:02.293
love watching or think of the last time you went to a show and you were like,
00:11:02.433 --> 00:11:05.493
wow, I was so like freaking captivated by that performer.
00:11:06.233 --> 00:11:11.893
Did they look worried about themselves or did they look in fight or flight mode or stressed, right?
00:11:12.013 --> 00:11:15.333
No, they probably looked so at home in themselves.
00:11:15.593 --> 00:11:20.773
They were probably having such a good time or they were just so like in the
00:11:20.773 --> 00:11:25.273
flow of the story that they were telling and the emotions that were coming through
00:11:25.273 --> 00:11:27.653
them to tell that story that you were just like,
00:11:27.733 --> 00:11:30.913
it just like, it made you lean in, right?
00:11:31.793 --> 00:11:36.513
When we get into scarcity, and this is actually the same for that first point
00:11:36.513 --> 00:11:41.633
that I was talking about when we're self-focused, it makes our energy feel shrink
00:11:41.633 --> 00:11:44.453
and people tend to sort of lean away, right?
00:11:44.633 --> 00:11:50.693
But when we feel like so abundant about everything that's available to us and
00:11:50.693 --> 00:11:52.453
when we feel so good with ourselves,
00:11:52.453 --> 00:11:55.333
it's like we naturally lean into
00:11:55.333 --> 00:11:59.173
that it's so magnetic it's so beautiful and
00:11:59.173 --> 00:12:02.913
it's because we're seeing like the truth of
00:12:02.913 --> 00:12:08.393
life reflected back to us right in like in the truth of the universe there isn't
00:12:08.393 --> 00:12:12.913
scarcity anything that you desire the universe can deliver to you and deliver
00:12:12.913 --> 00:12:21.033
in abundance right so this second piece around scarcity is just so so so important
00:12:21.033 --> 00:12:22.213
for us to address as well.
00:12:23.464 --> 00:12:29.644

00:13:28.132 --> 00:13:33.352
feel so satisfying to you and that you feel so proud of.
00:13:33.592 --> 00:13:39.312
So much of my work is not only about manifesting your desires and the career
00:13:39.312 --> 00:13:44.132
that you desire, but it's also about being able to like lay your head down on
00:13:44.132 --> 00:13:47.432
the pillow at night as a performer, feeling satisfied,
00:13:47.792 --> 00:13:52.232
satisfied about your day, satisfied about your work like like you are living
00:13:52.232 --> 00:13:55.132
your authentic life and you feel so.
00:13:55.652 --> 00:13:58.532
Satisfied in it like that deep level of soul
00:13:58.532 --> 00:14:01.472
satisfaction because otherwise what's the point what are
00:14:01.472 --> 00:14:04.152

I'm a professional dancer and performer who started out this career crippled

in self-doubt and overwhelm and wondering how I would ever quote-unquote make it in this industry,
00:00:19.217 --> 00:00:23.697
to having now lived out my dream career as a professional dancer and performer
00:00:23.697 --> 00:00:26.137

Let's begin. But first, alignment.
00:01:18.385 --> 00:01:23.465
Hello, hello, and welcome to this Magnetic Performer Audition Masterclass.
00:01:23.865 --> 00:01:27.105
My name is Grace, and I'm a mindset mentor for performers.
00:01:27.525 --> 00:01:31.305
I've been a professional dancer and performer for over 11 years,
00:01:31.645 --> 00:01:35.745
including for companies like Princess Cruises, The Crazy Paris Show in Macau,
00:01:35.965 --> 00:01:40.185
as well as Club Cubic in Macau, Crystal Cruises, Tokyo Disney, and more.
00:01:40.765 --> 00:01:46.945
It was my dream to have longevity in my career and to be a performer on stage,
00:01:46.945 --> 00:01:51.185
and it was something that really intimidated me when I was training in full-time,
00:01:51.385 --> 00:01:54.485
when I was auditioning, when I was trying to navigate the industry.
00:01:54.985 --> 00:02:00.445
I felt like I had this really strong desire to be this performer and be this
00:02:00.445 --> 00:02:03.485
professional dancer, but I don't know how it's going to happen.
00:02:03.565 --> 00:02:08.605
And I feel daunted by auditioning and by all of the incredible performers who
00:02:08.605 --> 00:02:10.965
are out there in the industry who I'm going to be, you know,
00:02:11.065 --> 00:02:12.165
quote unquote, up against.
00:02:12.905 --> 00:02:17.685
And it was through doing the manifestation, the mindset and the energetic healing
00:02:17.685 --> 00:02:21.505
work that I was able to manifest the career of my dreams.
00:02:21.925 --> 00:02:26.925
So I am so, so excited that you are here today because it means that you are
00:02:26.925 --> 00:02:31.105
ready to start really powerfully utilizing the energetic,
00:02:31.365 --> 00:02:35.885
the mindset and the manifestation work to combine with all of the practical
00:02:35.885 --> 00:02:39.285
training that you have done for yourself and for your career.
00:02:40.378 --> 00:02:46.298
Okay, so our first pillar for being in our magnetic and most confident energy
00:02:46.298 --> 00:02:49.278
when we perform and when we audition is mindset.
00:02:49.978 --> 00:02:54.058
And the biggest thing that I want to share with you guys today about mindset,
00:02:54.258 --> 00:02:59.058
the biggest shift that I could possibly give you in this masterclass is that
00:02:59.058 --> 00:03:03.558
we want to shift our mindset from self-focused to service-focused.
00:03:04.098 --> 00:03:08.798
And what I mean by that is when we're leading up to an audition or a performance,
00:03:09.138 --> 00:03:14.338
whatever it may be, our ego, our inner child, right?
00:03:14.558 --> 00:03:17.978
Those parts of us that need that bit of extra love and support,
00:03:18.178 --> 00:03:23.638
those parts of us where our insecurities are harbored, where past wounds might be harbored, etc.
00:03:24.318 --> 00:03:29.318
They start to come up, right? I know we've all had that kind of experience and
00:03:29.318 --> 00:03:33.658
they come up in the form of, again, like feeling our insecurities or feeling
00:03:33.658 --> 00:03:38.278
self-doubt or feeling worried about the worst case scenario happening in the audition.
00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:42.158
We can get really worried about what the casting panel is going to think of
00:03:42.158 --> 00:03:46.418
us, what our agent's going to think of us, depending on how this audition goes
00:03:46.418 --> 00:03:50.998
and how well we perform or whether we get chosen for the job and booked on it, right?
00:03:51.558 --> 00:03:55.718
There are many, many things that can come up for us. And that's all totally
00:03:55.718 --> 00:03:59.498
normal, right? That's all totally part of the path of being a performer.
00:03:59.718 --> 00:04:04.278
And it's part of that maturing process for us as individuals and that opportunity
00:04:04.278 --> 00:04:08.878
to really develop mastery in our relationship with ourselves and in mastering
00:04:08.878 --> 00:04:14.618
our mindset so that we can shine in our career and be in our most magnetic energy,
00:04:14.618 --> 00:04:19.898
but also so that we can enjoy it and not spend so much time in our insecurities
00:04:19.898 --> 00:04:23.198
and in our self-doubt and ruminating in our own minds, right?
00:04:23.578 --> 00:04:27.498
So when we're self-focused, we're allowing that sort of younger,
00:04:27.738 --> 00:04:34.298
less mature part of our brain to really put our focus and zoom it in,
00:04:34.358 --> 00:04:37.958
in, in, in on us and what everybody thinks of us.
00:04:38.118 --> 00:04:40.278
All those things are just listed, et cetera, right?
00:04:41.846 --> 00:04:45.526
The biggest thing we can do for ourselves and the best mindset shift we can
00:04:45.526 --> 00:04:50.906
make before performing and auditioning is shifting from, I'm not focusing on
00:04:50.906 --> 00:04:55.306
me right now, I'm focusing on the service that I'm here to give as a performer.
00:04:55.646 --> 00:05:00.666
Because whether you're a dancer, a model, a singer, like whatever you are,
00:05:00.986 --> 00:05:06.686
if you're a vessel who's in front of people to deliver like choreography or
00:05:06.686 --> 00:05:09.586
to bring a shoot to life or to bring a story to life, right?
00:05:09.586 --> 00:05:14.246
Ultimately, no matter what you are as a performer, you are a storyteller.
00:05:14.506 --> 00:05:19.286
You are being watched by an audience of some kind to bring a story to life and
00:05:19.286 --> 00:05:21.106
to make them feel something. Yeah.
00:05:21.546 --> 00:05:26.426
And this is the thing that we can just forget so easily when we're coming up
00:05:26.426 --> 00:05:27.686
to performing and auditioning.
00:05:27.906 --> 00:05:32.446
Because again, that part of our brain and that part of ourselves starts to put
00:05:32.446 --> 00:05:36.946
all of that focus onto ourselves and starts to zoom in, in, in, in, in on us.
00:05:38.026 --> 00:05:43.386
When we shift that focus from being self-focused to being service-focused,
00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:46.966
there's no more room to think about ourselves.
00:05:47.326 --> 00:05:51.366
There's no more room to think about our insecurities because we're focusing
00:05:51.366 --> 00:05:54.826
on how can I best bring this like choreography to life?
00:05:54.986 --> 00:05:59.866
How can I execute this choreography in the best way possible for how the choreographer
00:05:59.866 --> 00:06:03.586
has created it and for what this show is about and for what this show needs, right?
00:06:04.675 --> 00:06:09.275
When we put our focus onto, how's the audience going to feel when I step on
00:06:09.275 --> 00:06:12.175
stage and do this? What experience are they going to have?
00:06:12.675 --> 00:06:18.335
When we've put that focus onto service, we don't have room anymore to be all
00:06:18.335 --> 00:06:19.855
caught up in our heads about ourselves.
00:06:20.335 --> 00:06:27.295
I hope that's making sense because this shift is so, so, so powerful and changes
00:06:27.295 --> 00:06:29.735
everything. Changed everything for me when it came to mindset.
00:06:30.975 --> 00:06:34.035
So in terms of like our auditioning and our performing, like,
00:06:34.195 --> 00:06:38.215
yes, it's about us to the extent that we are, you know, hopefully doing work
00:06:38.215 --> 00:06:41.295
that we absolutely love and doing work that lights us up.
00:06:41.355 --> 00:06:44.755
And if you want help with being able to manifest that, you're also in the right place.
00:06:45.135 --> 00:06:49.735
That's work that I love, love, love supporting performers with as well and teaching on as well.
00:06:49.855 --> 00:06:53.155
And we're going to touch on a little bit of that towards the end of this masterclass today.
00:06:54.075 --> 00:06:57.755
But it's about us in the sense that we're here
00:06:57.755 --> 00:07:00.555
to do our work and do our service and
00:07:00.555 --> 00:07:03.675
live out our dreams right but beyond that it's not
00:07:03.675 --> 00:07:06.495
about us it's not about what this
00:07:06.495 --> 00:07:09.815
person thinks of what we're wearing today or what this person thinks
00:07:09.815 --> 00:07:13.795
about performing and whether it's good enough etc right and
00:07:13.795 --> 00:07:16.675
not that there isn't a time and place to have kind of
00:07:16.675 --> 00:07:20.195
some inquiry about around different things and around more
00:07:20.195 --> 00:07:23.075
of the semantics and the smaller things yes there can be time
00:07:23.075 --> 00:07:26.495
for that depending on the situation but in
00:07:26.495 --> 00:07:30.835
general what really trips us up when we're going to perform and when we're going
00:07:30.835 --> 00:07:35.355
to audition is we get so zoomed in on ourselves and so what the casting panel
00:07:35.355 --> 00:07:41.015
in an audition situation then sees is someone who's feeling wobbly in themselves
00:07:41.015 --> 00:07:44.955
and feeling worried about what everyone thinks of them and what is the casting
00:07:44.955 --> 00:07:46.275
panel actually waiting for.
00:07:47.013 --> 00:07:51.453
They're waiting to see someone who has the skills that is required for the role
00:07:51.453 --> 00:07:55.473
that they're auditioning for, and they're waiting to be moved.
00:07:55.753 --> 00:08:00.893
They're waiting to feel something. They're waiting to connect with you on the emotional level.
00:08:01.053 --> 00:08:04.733
And they can't do that if you've totally forgotten about the story that you're
00:08:04.733 --> 00:08:07.873
telling and you're totally thinking about yourself and the things that you're
00:08:07.873 --> 00:08:09.813
worried about. Is that making sense?
00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:15.933
So in terms of our mindset, we want to make that shift before we go to the audition,
00:08:16.053 --> 00:08:19.553
whether it's the day before, the night before, as we're walking into the room,
00:08:19.733 --> 00:08:23.853
I remind myself of this like as many times as I need to in the lead up to an
00:08:23.853 --> 00:08:24.833
audition and a performance.
00:08:26.053 --> 00:08:31.413
And I'll just remind myself, it's not about me. Nobody has me under a microscope.
00:08:32.073 --> 00:08:35.973
Yes, attention will be on me because I'm one of the storytellers,
00:08:36.113 --> 00:08:41.473
I'm one of the performers up there, but they're looking at me to have an experience.
00:08:41.533 --> 00:08:44.693
They're looking at me to have a story told to them.
00:08:44.953 --> 00:08:49.653
They're not looking at me to put me under some kind of microscope or scrutinize
00:08:49.653 --> 00:08:52.993
all of my insecurities or things like that. That's not the case, right?
00:08:53.913 --> 00:09:01.133
So first thing about our mindset is shifting from self-focus to being service-focused.
00:09:02.119 --> 00:09:05.339
I so invite you to try this out the next time you're auditioning and performing
00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:11.159
and feel the amount of space it gives you in your brain and feel the difference
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.659
in your performing when you do this, when you are focusing on serving the show that you're in,
00:09:15.939 --> 00:09:18.019
serving the choreography that you've been given,
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.579
serving the material you've been given and what the audience experience of it
00:09:22.579 --> 00:09:27.619
is or what the casting panel's experience of it is, like that emotional experience,
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.319
that emotional connection to it.
00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:34.659
It's like night and day, the difference in the experiences. So first thing around
00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:38.099
our mindset is shifting from self-focused to service-focused.
00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:42.479
The second piece of our mindset that I really want to get into with you guys
00:09:42.479 --> 00:09:47.019
today is shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.
00:09:47.499 --> 00:09:52.239
When we go to auditions, and this is for like probably more specifically auditions
00:09:52.239 --> 00:09:56.759
than if you're already cast in a show and you're already performing and things
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.919
like that, you're already on a job.
00:09:58.819 --> 00:10:04.279
But in terms of like auditions or say you are on a job and the casting team
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.079
has come in to watch and they're looking at who they're going to offer their
00:10:07.079 --> 00:10:08.439
next contracts to, et cetera.
00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:17.019
When we're in a scarcity mindset, it really like shrinks our energy field down
00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:22.159
because we start to feel like that survival mode turning on, right?
00:10:22.339 --> 00:10:26.059
Because it's this paradigm that there's not enough for everyone.
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.119
And I don't know about you guys, but when I went to my full-time course, there was this.
00:10:32.133 --> 00:10:37.373
Narrative and kind of feeling that there wasn't going to be enough work for everyone.
00:10:38.793 --> 00:10:45.773
And that really puts us into a state of feeling that fight or flight energy, right?
00:10:46.053 --> 00:10:52.033
And how can people be like, feel that magnetic energy, that completely like
00:10:52.033 --> 00:10:55.773
self-loving, self-assured magnetic energy.
00:10:55.893 --> 00:10:59.413
Like when you are watching somebody on stage, like think of a performer you
00:10:59.413 --> 00:11:02.293
love watching or think of the last time you went to a show and you were like,
00:11:02.433 --> 00:11:05.493
wow, I was so like freaking captivated by that performer.
00:11:06.233 --> 00:11:11.893
Did they look worried about themselves or did they look in fight or flight mode or stressed, right?
00:11:12.013 --> 00:11:15.333
No, they probably looked so at home in themselves.
00:11:15.593 --> 00:11:20.773
They were probably having such a good time or they were just so like in the
00:11:20.773 --> 00:11:25.273
flow of the story that they were telling and the emotions that were coming through
00:11:25.273 --> 00:11:27.653
them to tell that story that you were just like,
00:11:27.733 --> 00:11:30.913
it just like, it made you lean in, right?
00:11:31.793 --> 00:11:36.513
When we get into scarcity, and this is actually the same for that first point
00:11:36.513 --> 00:11:41.633
that I was talking about when we're self-focused, it makes our energy feel shrink
00:11:41.633 --> 00:11:44.453
and people tend to sort of lean away, right?
00:11:44.633 --> 00:11:50.693
But when we feel like so abundant about everything that's available to us and
00:11:50.693 --> 00:11:52.453
when we feel so good with ourselves,
00:11:52.453 --> 00:11:55.333
it's like we naturally lean into
00:11:55.333 --> 00:11:59.173
that it's so magnetic it's so beautiful and
00:11:59.173 --> 00:12:02.913
it's because we're seeing like the truth of
00:12:02.913 --> 00:12:08.393
life reflected back to us right in like in the truth of the universe there isn't
00:12:08.393 --> 00:12:12.913
scarcity anything that you desire the universe can deliver to you and deliver
00:12:12.913 --> 00:12:21.033
in abundance right so this second piece around scarcity is just so so so important
00:12:21.033 --> 00:12:22.213
for us to address as well.
