Confidence on Camera: Tips to boost your confidence

10/23/2020

When training actors who are starting their career, the team at IPM often hear the first thing that people want or need to work on is their confidence. Building your confidence is not an overnight process. Many great names like Chris Evans, Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Lawrence all have bouts of nervousness and anxieties before performing. We are human, it is normal to feel nervous. But how you choose to overcome those anxieties will help boost your self esteem, open new opportunities and help you grow as a performer. Our team has put together some tips on building confidence for your performance.

Positivity

Avoid the negative thoughts about yourself and your skills. When you put yourself down, you manifest those thoughts, your personal growth falters. and it shows in your performance. When you don't take a moment and see the positive experiences, progress or performances that you have produced, your confidence will not grow as a performer. The first step to personal growth as an actor is your own thoughts and comments. Keep them positive and you will feel your mindset change for the better. Anything you say to yourself should be about constructive criticism and not self doubt.

Repetition

When you are learning anything new, repetition allows your confidence to grow. As we mentioned, growing your confidence isn't an overnight process. The more you practice anything about confidence building, a technique or even an accent, your confidence will grow over time and you will feel the progression you've made. 

Meditation

Breathing connects us to everything. When we learn to control our breathing, we can allow ourselves to overcome anxieties that keep our confidence down. Breathing is a very important part of performance and to control that breathing will not only grow your confidence it will enhance your performance skills to a new level.  Meditation is a large influence in finding your confidence and easing your anxieties to start your career as an actor.
