Hi all,

So I just wanted to share this little story about an audition I got on explore the other day.

I always have a problem with nerves, I've been acting for at least five years and it doesn't matter how confident I am, the moment I get in the door my knees start shaking and my heart starts pounding and, well, worst of all, I start to perspire....

Then I read this awesome thing in a book about getting over your nerves, which says you should picture the people you're auditioning for 'naked or in their underwear' and it makes it a lot easier.

You know what? The moment I walked in there the nerves started, and the casting director was really busy and brusk with me, but I just practiced my little trick, and pictured him in his undies (no fun, I must admit, he wasn't the most attractive) and my nerves totally went away!!!

By the end of the audition I'd forgotten I was nervous, and I nailed it- so much so that I just found out I got a callback!!!!

Only problem now is, I wish I could get the image of the overweight casting director in his underwear out of my head......ugggh.
