I’m on a mission to raise awareness of the mental and emotional difficulties that come with being an actor, and to provide practical solutions to both actors and those concerned with their well-being.
That’s what I’m here for!
Psychology skills are life skills
Unlock your full potential
Here is what I’d like you to know
- Being an actor is hard, but you are not alone. Help is available.
- Psychology skills are life skills.
- Your mind can become your biggest ally, or your biggest enemy. You decide.
- The tools you are learning by developing a healthy mindset as an actor will stay with you for the rest of your life.
It is my hope that one day…
- Every drama course will devote a substantial amount of teaching time to ways of coping with the mental health struggles that actors face on a day-to-day basis.
- Every agent and manager will have the skills to support the actors they represent with sound advice on how to work on their mindset.
- Every director will be equipped to help actors relinquish imposter syndrome and tone down their inner critic.
But this can’t happen until more actors become aware of their mental health needs and start bringing this to the attention of decision-makers across the industry.
Would you like to be part of the change?
