Being A Vessel

How do we take the reality of who we are and showcase it in the material we deliver. May I suggest that it comes in the delivery of doing less. It often comes as a mistake when nervous or showcasing our material that a hand gesture, closing of eyes or raising of the arms or body will help in the delivery of that one major note or moment in our piece. However that thought or motion is completely wrong for it takes you away from the reality of the piece and becomes the center point of your mini-production.

I would like to suggest that you rehearse your piece once the way you have been rehearsing it. The second time around might I suggest that you place your arms by your side or just simply sit in place holding the side of the chair and then deliver your piece without movement from your arms or legs. Ask some friends of yours to observe this action and see what it does for you and your performance of the piece as a whole.

When we think less about ourselves and simply just deliver our piece we become stronger performers in our delivery. This is because rather than putting on our "Performance" we are delivering what is from the heart. LESS IS MORE.

Less is more in so many places in the audition process. It is not about us when we are performing, how we sound, or how we are motioning or how we are acting. It is about connecting to something or someone and simply just being a vessel for the material to be delivered. Get out of the music and monologues way....let it deliver itself.
