Hello,
I use to love acting in high school, and seriously considered that I would pursue it as a career when I left school. But, life story short, I sidetracked and stepped into a music degree course (since music is a hobby).
The reason for this was because I started becoming extremely self conscious when I was acting on stage in drama classes, especially in College. I began taking notice of what I was doing, second guessing myself, and running other people's opinions in my head about my performance, whilst I was performing. This would stop me from being able to slip into the role, and thus, deliver a decent performance. I'd keep thinking "Oh, I'm SUPPOSED to slip into the role now..." and it wouldn't happen, and I'd go through the motions mechanically and this would be a living hell. No matter what I did, and how hard I tried, it seemed this acute sense of self-consciousness just wouldn't go away.
I know that I am a great actor, and I can't really think of anything else to do with my life. I am 20 years old; I can still pursue a career in this, and I do want to, because I know that, when it comes down to it, I love it more than anything else and people have told me I deliver extremely good performances.
But this only happens when I manage to slip into roles, and the last few roles I played in college have been terrible, I mean literally a living nightmare for me because I couldn't stop judging myself and just slip into the role.
Does anyone have any tips on removing self consciousness?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
