How to use Your Colors to Work for You!

10/5/2018

2 Comments

 
You may have heard that if you want a next-level job, you've got to dress for it.  Something to keep in mind as you walk into those audition rooms and networking events.

​Along those lines, this week in part two of my chat with
Jeannie Stith-Mawhinney of Color Guru (see part one here), we get into how feeling good on the outside can help us feel good on the inside...  helping us feel authentically confident in every room we walk into! As actors, we SO need this, right?

Jeannie wants us to "feel giddy" when we're getting dressed!  I love that!  Her energy is so contagious! 

Let's get into it--- click on video below! 


And If you missed last week's video, be sure to check out here.

How Can Color Boost Your Confidence?

Guest Expert, Jeannie Stith-Mawhinney of Color Guru

How often do you think about the colors you wear?  When heading to an audition, networking event, getting your headshots done, or anywhere else in daily life do you struggle with "what to wear"?  

I’d always heard that “blue makes you pop onscreen”.  Also that “black is slimming and looks good on anyone”. While these colors may work well for many people, according to my recent color consultation, there is really only like one specific shade of blue that looks good on me, and my best colors are actually greens, browns, plums, etc. Most blues & black wash me out :)

For my birthday this year I gifted myself a color consultation with the Color Guru herself, Jeannie Stith-Mawhinney, and am so glad that I made the investment!

Jeannie helped me get clear on what co
lors don’t work for me, highlighted those that make me glow (including gold vs silver jewelry) and shared fabulous resources (including makeup & color card) which have made shopping, and getting ready every day SO much easier!


As an actor, it is VITAL that we feel confident in every room we walk into, which is why I’ve invited Jeannie to share her mission with The Global Actor Community via a conversation on “How Color Can Boost Your Confidence (& Acting Career!).

Listen in on our chat here--- Jeannie shares her #1 Key to Looking Better, Feeling more Beautiful AND also simplifying your wardrobe!

Check it out!



If this video has you curious about YOUR colors, you’ll definitely want to check out Jeannie’s upcoming Capsule Wardrobe Course which INCLUDES the same kind of personal consultation I had!  Find that here, and don’t forget to use Promo Code: ELISE for 10% Off!

Be sure to check back in next week for Part 2 of our color chat :)

How To Manage Acting Success | #Success Ep. 2

11/15/2017

So what happens when you land a big job,

...need to back out of an entire season of regional work,​ 

... 
and suddenly have to live up to the success?
​

Well, this fabulous problem is exactly what happened to actress/singer/musician Erica Spyres when she landed the national tour of ONCE.  When describing this big win to me, she said:


"We prepare ourselves as actors so much for failure... we prepare ourselves for "no" that when we hear a yes..  we're like.. 'wait-what?! I was all ready to hear a "no" I don't know what to do with that!'" 


Picture

​Many of us focus on being in a mindset of letting go after a big audition and haven't given too much thought into how to best be prepared for the feeling of major success.

Check out this week's video for Erica's solutions and how YOU can best be ready for that next big job! 


So what do you think?  Have you been in a similar situation?  

What healthy habit will you begin today to best be ready to manage big success?  Leave your thoughts in the comments, please share with any actors you think might be into this, and...

Stay tuned for more from Erica next week! In the meantime, you can learn more about her out at 
ericaspyres.com


This is Episode of 2 in the #Success series with Erica Spyres.  If you've missed Episode 1, go back and watch it here!

Are you a musician as well as an actor and singer?  

If so, I'm sure you've been noticing the call for more and more actor/singer/musicians in the theater today- from John Doyle's Sondheim productions to shows like ONCE and NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812.  And what a great way to set yourself apart from the herd in this competitive business!  If you're ready to market yourself as an actor/singer/musician, you have a special opportunity to stand out and book work that few others can.

So, how can you make the best first impression auditioning with your instrument?  

Check out this week's video below for what is being asked of you in these kinds of auditions!

I'm interviewing Erica Spyres who takes us through the step-by-step process of what it was like to audition and be cast in the National Tour of ONCE!  (Be sure to follow her, as she makes her upcoming Broadway debut in CAROUSEL!)

​Watch it now!

​So what do you think?

Now that you've got some tried & true tips, select a song or two that would seriously show off your musicianship and personality on your favorite instrument, and let me know how it goes, in the comments below.

Stay tuned for more from Erica next week and in the meantime check her out at ericaspyres.com
