I have an audition for Domino's Pizza tomorrow. Looks like I'll be auditioning for the role of, "Delivery Boy". It's auditioning in Santa Monica, CA. Love Santa Monica! The beach is so pretty.
I had a meeting with my agent today. During the meeting she was explaining how often times we as actors focus too much on thinking things such as, "oh I've gotta book this gig to get rent paid" or "I really want to book this, the role is perfect for me". And when we do this we are putting the focus on us; rather then giving out positive energy to the production itself. This is very powerful. Here's why...
Think about it like this, do unto others, as you would like done to you. When you give positive energy to the production itself, you are directly positively effecting the production as a whole (including yourself). That in returns comes back you you in ways you wouldn't have ever expected.
"...Every action has a greater reaction... what we need to understand is that, the reaction is already here waiting on us" - Oprah Winfrey
This is easy to accomplish. As my agent said, think about how you can positively help the production. When going out for the role, think about the things that you have to offer the production as a whole; that would benefit it, not you. Maybe you are auditioning for the role of "Delivery Boy", well, why would you be perfect for that role? Is your answer to the question, an answer benefiting you or the production first?
