Self Referral Heaven, versus Object Referral Hell, Actors!

2012-04-19T03:10:00.000-07:00

Dear Fellow Actors hi!

I’ve been thinking about my early days as an Actor and how much I have changed over the years. I remember going through hell in my twenties, when I would be in a constant state of second guessing what others thought of me, how I was being received as an Actor, driving myself crazy wondering if I did well or not, what I could have done better, did they like my hair, makeup, costume, performance etc.

I would walk into an audition and check for the type of reception I would get from casting directors, monitor their facial expressions and if I didn’t read it as a positive one, I would be devastated. Then I would obsess about getting the job and stop breathing until that phone rang. Crazy right?

And that’s just in Acting. Today I was thinking how grateful I am now that I practice Self Referral, so I want to share this with you because it will literally save you not only as an Actor but in your entire Life!

What is Object Referral?

Object Referral is reacting to externals, whether they are people, circumstances, places or things. When we are in object referral we feel the need to control things, or situations and are easily influenced by what’s happening. The chaos of life affects us directly making us emotionally volatile and creating a roller coaster experience.

Can you relate to this? Not a great place to be, especially for an Actor, or creative soul, or any soul.

So what is Self Referral?

Self Referral means we are not influenced by people, places or things, which we can’t control anyway! We know ourselves and our innermost nature and are in tune with our spirit, which knows all and has no need for drama. Even more than that, its pure joy!

What would happen if, as an Actor you got out of your own way? Its Amazing! Even in life, being still in the chaos and detached from it, makes every day worth living.

So my dear fellow Actors, that is what I had to share today. Have your read The Secret of Your Success as an Actor ebook yet? Download it now!

I have been approached about writing another ebook by a huge publishing company! Yey for me!

Always here to help,

Tula

THE Most VITAL AUDITION Tip You will EVER Need to Know!

2012-03-20T21:49:00.000-07:00

My dearest fellow Thespians and Entertainers in General hello!
Its been a while since I wrote because I have been having some techy issues, so I thought I would gift you with The Number 1 VITAL Audition Tip, the most important of all Audition Tips you will ever need to know.
Why?
Because it will alter your perception of the entire experience!
By the Way, if you haven’t read The Secret of Your Success as an Actor ebook yet, Just Do It! its only $9.95 and will introduce you to your very Own Secret Weapon!
Ok, so you’ve got an Audition, the Stakes are High, you really want it, the Competition is fierce, blah blah blah

The one thing I keep hearing from Actors and Professionals alike is that they “Dread” Auditions. The word out there is that Auditions are something to be feared and lets face it, when you really want something, when it means everything to you, of course it will make you a little anxious to say the least!

So how can we go from Dreading Audtions to Loving Them?
As Actors, Entertainers we LOVE our Work, otherwise why would we do it right?
So here it is are you READY?

What if you had an audition for something you would die and go to heaven for and instead of going into panic and dread you changed your mindset?
To What you may ask?
The trick to LOVING Auditions is simple: Try going to your Audition with the Perception that You are actually doing the Job! So if its Theatre, picture yourself in front of the Audience, if its Stage, likewise, if its TV or Film, in front of the Camera knowing there are millions of viewers watching you.
You LOVE Performing! Can you imagine a better experience?

So that’s it, simple isn’t it? Imagine your Audition to be Your Awarding Winning Performance in the actual Role.
Guess what? That also sends a message to the Universe to make it happen for you, so its a double whammy!
I’ll let you chew over that one,
wishing you amazing success!

News for Actors

2012-03-07T00:17:00.000-08:00

My dearest fellow Thespians,
You have my sincerest apologies for neglecting you. I have had some technical difficulties, not to mention been crazy busy.
By now I hope you have read my e-book and are well on your way creating your career and life as an Actor according to your desires! You can download it instantly The Secret of Your Success as an Actor, just $9.95 for over 100 pages! www.actorssecretweapon.com

Now, on other news I here is some info on Rowena Balos from LA. I mention her in my ebook, she is truly amazing!

Hope you all had a fantastic holiday season with sun, fun and lots of partying and are now back into working on your personal and artistic growth!!

I'm well into the pilot season with lots of teaching here in LA.

I've also made great headway on my book--my philosophy and technique in great detail--a mammoth feat!

I'm also in the middle of doing a giant revision and update of my Human Instrument Workbook, which will be ready for purchase as a pdf file ($25) in the next month, or so, or as a hard copy ($35) when I'm in Australia--July through October.

Next, I will revise and update my Workbook on The Standard American Accent for Australian Actors--ready in July, if not before.

I will be in and out of Brisbane, Melbourne, Byron Bay and Sydney during my midyear stay, teaching at various theatre schools and companies.
In between those engagements, I'll be conducting workshops open to the acting community:
Voice/Acting Connection
Shakespeare Connection
Standard American Accent Connection
On-Camera Voice/Acting Connection

I will give you an update when we're closer to the time.
However, if you have a particular interest in a workshop or private instruction, it will be VERY helpful in my planning.

Look forward to connecting, some time during my visit, for a workshop, a private session, a cup of tea or maybe a glass of wine!!??

Would love to hear from you with any questions, revelations, confusions or successes with the work.

All the very best, Rowena

Your Brand as an Actor

2012-01-15T21:27:00.000-08:00

Dearest Actors,
Happy 2012 and its looking like a Big one! If you haven't booked into the Must Attend Actor's Workshop with myself and Kari Harris, make sure you do pronto, places are filling up and you don't want to miss this, its unlike any workshop you have done before! Here's the link to the Facebook event:
http://www.facebook.com/events/292901454080402/

Meanwhile, of course we are a brand and with that we need to be in top form in all areas. I hope you are looking after your instrument, ie your body, your voice, your diet, your emotional and spiritual lives as well as looking after business, promoting your brand with photos, videos, online etc. If you are not working, you can attend classes to keep your craft honed and if you can't afford that, team up with friends and work on scenes together or audition for some co op theatre! That's a great way to be seen by your peers and the industry.

I have been finding going to the beach, walking, swimming, getting close to nature highly creative. The best thing about being an Actor is stimulating and using our imagination, so let yourselves go, focus within and you will be amazed the ideas you come up with.
That happens to me daily!

I have been listening to Dr Deepak Chopra's lectures daily, a practice that ultimately infiltrates your cellular body and I thoroughly recommend it. I can vouch the changes occur automatically, without any effort on our part. Listen to the 7 Spiritual Laws of Success, put them into practice and watch as every day becomes a miracle for you!

That's all I have for today,
Always here to help,
Tula Tzoras,

Live to Air and Improvised!

2012-01-09T19:10:00.001-08:00

Happy 2012 dearest Thespians!

This year is just beginning and like sleepy children we slowly warm up to it. Well time to get serious! Sounds boring doesn’t it? Not when you love what you do. I don’t know about you, but I have never been able to betray my soul’s purpose and for that I am grateful.

I was doing a one hour Live to Air Show on TVSN a few days ago on the Aire Bra and it occurred to me that everything happens for a reason, concepts I introduce you to in my e-book, The Secret of Your Success as an Actor (must read).

Let me explain. I spent the last 3 years in Melbourne spruiking different products between acting jobs. It was really hard work. When I look back in retrospect however, I realise that my Acting training and spruiking experience gave me the perfect skills to perform in my currenct TV Presenting role with Danoz Direct!

Moral of the story? Trust!

Powerful! Kari Harris and Tula Tzoras join together for YOU!

2012-01-08T18:18:00.000-08:00
