Last time, we started to understand that little thing called nerves from the perspective of our physical bodies.
According to one expert, "A big part of our emotions is influenced by the nerves in our gut". Our gut contains 100 million neurons--more than the spinal cord, even.
So, a word to nervous tummies full of butterflies everywhere: Stop it already!
No actor walking into an audition needs that second brain (which, incidentally, can make us nervous but cannot produce conscious thought or make any decisions) to drive the train.
Your main brain must take the lead and demand PEACE and CALM in potentially stressful situations like auditions and shoots.
BUT HOW?!?!?!
Prepare. Prepare. Prepare.
When you have finished that, prepare some more. There is no such thing as being over-prepared for an audition or knowing your lines too well.
Your gut will thank you when you walk through the door of your next audition.
