Stop letting performance anxiety hold you back from your best work. In this video, Ingrid Sorin Girion dives into the mindset and physical tools you need to reclaim your power on stage and in front of the camera. Whether you are preparing for a major audition or stepping onto a stand-up stage, these techniques will help you stay centered and confident.

We explore the vital connection between the mind and body, reminding every performer that acting is about more than just being a talking head. You will learn how to banish negative thoughts by reframing them and how to use physical movement to release tension before you perform. We also discuss the powerful concept of being the thermostat rather than the thermometer, allowing you to set the energy of the room instead of just reacting to it.

By shifting your perspective from fear to being of service, you can transform your auditions and performances. Learn why jumping up and down, changing your internal dialogue, and focusing on the people in your corner can make all the difference in your career.
