🎭 Ready to stop defaulting to “you” and start becoming the character? The Step Into Character Challenge helps you do exactly that... 4 weekly challenges, done in your own time, with my feedback throughout. ACCESS THEM HERE

One of the biggest reasons actors don’t book isn’t lack of talent, it’s that they’re unknowingly playing themselves. The voice stays the same. The energy stays the same. The choices feel familiar… and casting directors feel it immediately.
In this episode, we dive into the invisible habits that keep actors stuck on the surface of a role - overthinking, self-monitoring, and playing what feels “safe.” I’ll show you how to unlock the character’s choices instead, so your performances feel specific, alive, and rooted in something deeper than your own instincts.
If you’ve ever walked out of an audition thinking “I didn’t quite disappear into that”, this episode will hit home. This is about moving out of your head, into your body, and into the character; without forcing it or performing at the idea of acting.
This episode is a must-listen for actors who want to stop blending in and start becoming unrecognisable on screen and stage.
