Acting is doing ......... get out of your head!




Anyone watching The Voice?   Yes, you follower of the masses.  No, not your thing?  Either way I must mention some feedback will.i.am gave an unsuccessful contestant on Sunday night.

He said something like this "so you made a mistake.  Then you went into your head and stayed there for the rest of the song. You needed to let it go....."

If we have ever worked together you would have heard me say time and time again 'you are in your head'. And. GET. OUT. OF. YOUR. HEAD.

What am I saying?  Stop thinking!!!!

When you think or get stuck in your head you are no longer available to the moment. You cannot do what you need to do 100 percent.

Acting is doing. Not thinking.

So you don't know how to get out of your head? Start listening.  Really listening.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things - Ray Bradbury
