I don’t know about you, but there were many times I left an audition (It didn’t seem to matter whether it was a commercial, voice-over or film) and realized that I could have been better. Sometimes it was specific (louder, faster, funnier) or sometimes it was just a general feeling of, “not good”. Usually I would beat myself up with the “inner voice” saying things that made made me feel even worse. I did this for many years and did nothing to prevent the self-destructive nature of my work. After all, the audition is really just part of the job description and should not be separated from the job itself. Anyway, I eventually decided to stop this. Here’s how; I performed the audition full out before entering the room. Sounds simple. It didn’t matter that I was embarrassing myself in front of other actors. What mattered was that I felt fully rehearsed and the audition was the final performance. It was only then that I could completely let go of my self-defeatest attitude and walk away feeling that I did my best. Even this new process needed to be practiced (classes and workshops helped). Letting go helped me move on. Give it a try and tell me how it went! 
Cheers…Jeffrey Dreisbach

Early on in my acting days, I had the good fortune of studying in London. I was completely amazed at the sheer amount of good theater and opportunities for actors. One day, during one of my scene classes, I found myself completely overwhelmed. No matter how much theater I “took in” as an audience member, actually acting in front of a class was terrifying. My legs shook, my palms sweat, my stomach felt like it would do a back flip.
Even though I had quite a bit of experience performing, somehow this was different. My teacher, James Roose-Evans, taking my gyrations into account, actually made me stand in front of the class until I was able to calm down and breath normally. You can imagine how much time this took. After several moments, he finally said, “Being nervous is a good thing. It means that the work you are about to do is important to you. It means that there is a visceral flight or fight response to what you are about to do. It means that you are a teachable actor. This is good. It means that with time, you will be able to embrace your nerves as a real manifestation of performance joy!” I never felt the same after that.
Each and every moment becomes an opportunity to remain teachable.
