Alysa Liu, an Olympic figure skater, returned after four years away with a new performance mindset focused on presence and confidence instead of perfection. Actors can use the same approach in auditions: stop chasing the perfect take and commit to executing what you prepared.
Last week I watched the Olympic gold medalist skater Alysa Liu, who walked away from ice skating at age 16. 4 years later, she comes back, still has flawless techniques, but her mindset— performance mindset— completely changed. And it's the same kind of mindset that actors should be using going into auditions. So if you use the link in the description, I'm going to tell you what made her stand out and how you can use this performance mindset for every future audition.
