Motivation for Actors

by Alexa Ispas

Do you want to build momentum with your acting career? Discover psychology techniques to stop procrastinating and increase your productivity so you can take your acting career to the next level. Being motivated is essential to becoming a successful actor. Actors must often juggle bill-paying jobs and other commitments for years before getting their big break. If you are not highly motivated, you will get lost among the crowd of hopefuls, no matter how talented you are. Motivated actors are a joy to work with and energize everyone around them. They often start their own projects, so they don’t just rely on outside work, and they continuously develop their craft, making themselves more employable. If you are wondering how to reach this high level of motivation consistently, psychology can help. Psychologists have uncovered the principles behind human motivation and developed simple yet powerful techniques to increase your productivity. Motivation for Actors distills these psychological insights specifically for actors using clear and jargon-free language.

Alexa Ispas holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Edinburgh. The books in her Psychology for Actors Series provide actors with proven psychology techniques to thrive and build a successful career.

More generalized on motivation in any career with references to theatre here and there. Last 15 pages were really good and focused on acting however. I will use some of these techniques but as a whole I wish it were more detailed on an actors career
