Do you struggle making bold choices for an audition or self-tape and end up feeling like you’ve wasted an opportunity?

N

Does setting up for filming consume a lot of your time and energy, not leaving much left for your actual performance?

N

Do you spend too much time trying to cram the lines in your head and not enough time on the character work?

N

Do you feel in your head when self-taping or auditioning, and not fully embodying the character you are playing?

As an actor, I’m sure you want to feel connected and liberated when playing a character no matter what, right?

As an international acting coach, I’ve been working with many actors all over the world from household names to students and I’ve noticed how the big change in the world has left many actors feeling a little lost and insecure.

I’ve helped them find a process that works for them in the new digital world. The results in the form of job bookings and countless call backs speak for themselves.

How’s your process for getting into character?

Your instincts are a brilliant asset, but they’ll only get you so far, so when time is tight or a character is a tough one to get beneath the skin of, you’re going to need some help.

A reliable process you can call upon anytime to get feeling confident, prepared and connected to the character you’re playing!

This course will give you an incredibly detailed, specific and thorough process for you to get into character.

If you want to impress any audition panel, casting director or audience with a believable performance, this course will get you there.

Ever watch a performance from an actor and you just don’t know how they did it?

Actors that are working consistently or that give powerful performances in the TV and Films you love, they don’t have a magical power. They just have a process they can call upon to get the connection they need to really embody the character!

To book the jobs and play the roles you really want to play, this course gives you the tools you need to see a transformation in your confidence and career.

I’ve been directing and coaching actors for 10 years in London’s West End, New York and all over Europe. Using the techniques I teach in this course, I’ve seen actors perform to the next level and move an audience with their honesty and believability.

Actors who’ve taken this course have seen instant job bookings. This could be you!

This course will give you:

N

A toolkit to help you get out of your head and into your body, so you're always performing a character from inside out and connecting truthfully.

N

Instant access to recorded coaching, from Tom O'Brien, coach and director with 10 years of experience.

This course is incredible. I used The Embodied Process to prepare for my first in-person audition in over 2 years.

I was able to walk into that room feeling so confident I actually had fun in an audition room. I had fun because I was able to really play! Oh, and I booked the job!

This course is an invaluable tool for all actors. It’s so easy to forget to take time with scenes, especially when audition deadlines are tight. Tom’s whole process reminds us to take this time and invest in the process of building a character. We live in a society where everything needs to happen immediately, and it’s easy to bring this into our work. I feel so confident that applying these techniques will lead to more work and I wish I found this course sooner!

Often I find myself having to get into character really quickly, and it’s something that I’ve always struggled with. Tom’s Embodied Process Digital course enabled me to really slow down and channel my thought process.

The course is worth the investment and I would highly recommend. I will definitely be using the videos and digital course for casting and character preparation going forward.

Course Overview

Course contains 7 lessons

Lesson 1: Introduction

An introduction to my journey as a director and practitioner, and how I came to create my embodied process.

Lesson 2: Thinking In Pictures and Impressions.

Through the exercise ‘Thinking in Pictures and Impressions’ I’ll show you how just by focusing slowly on words and the images they create you can start to expand your imagination and find a deeper connection to text.

Lesson 3: The Generalised Core Beliefs.
In this video we will look at ‘beliefs’. The beliefs about people and the world that exist within you as a person.
Lesson 4: Physicalising Beliefs.
We’ll do a grounding exercise and I’ll take you through how we physicalise these beliefs and physically find, what we call ‘The Germ’.
Lesson 5: Identifying the Character’s Beliefs.
In this video we’ll take the beliefs exercise learnt in the previous video, apply it to character and delve into some text to discover key information about the character.
Lesson 6: Physicalising Character Beliefs.

Next we’ll revisit the physicalising of beliefs and finding ‘The Germ’, this time for your chosen character and text.

Lesson 7: Consolidation.

In our final video we’ll consolidate everything we’ve learnt throughout the embodied process digital course.

8 reviews for Embodied Process Digital Acting Course

  1. Tim Larkfield (verified owner)

    Tom’s style is friendly and engaging, and I have found the Embodied Process to be a really simple and effective technique to get into character quickly. Soon after completing the course, I used the process for a self-tape audition, got the role, and then used it on set to maintain my character’s core beliefs between takes. I’m looking forward to continuing to develop these skills and applying them to my career moving forwards.

  2. Conor Mainwaring (verified owner)

    Tom’s course is really great and has given me a fresh perspective on how to prepare characters for any situation. I find it’s easy to get a bit stuck in the practicalities or anxieties around auditions, and this process has given me not only a way to make sure I prep really well, but also an opportunity to remember what I love about exploring and developing characters. Strongly recommend!

  3. Craig Nash (verified owner)

    This course is an invaluable tool for all actors. It’s so easy to forget to take time with scenes, especially when audition deadlines are tight. Tom’s whole process reminds us to take this time and invest in the process of building a character. We live in a society where everything needs to happen immediately, and it’s easy to bring this into our work. I feel so confident that applying these techniques will lead to more work and I wish I found this course sooner!

    I will revisit this course an a regular basis and would encourage all actors to give this a go. It’s an investment in your work and yourself. Tom is simply brilliant.

  4. Stephen Stallone Thomas (verified owner)

    I could not recommend Tom O’Brien’s Embodied Process Digital online course more highly, like many actors I’m often self taping, auditioning and enduring the casting process on a daily basis.

    Often I find myself having to get into character really quickly, and it’s something that I’ve always struggled with. Tom’s Embodied Process Digital course enabled me to really slow down and channel my thought process.

    He encouraged me to put pen to paper and think about the character and the world of the character in terms of the beliefs ‘What does the character say about themselves’ and ‘What do others say about the character’. Not giving too much away.. the course encourages you to get up onto to your feet and physicalise the character through sets of recorded exercises. This was a longer process than I’m used to but equally so much more rewarding. You have to put in the work and with a casting for a new HBO show approaching this was so worth it and allowed me to be better prepared and authentic to the character. The course is worth the investment and I would highly recommend. I will definitely be using the videos and digital course for casting and character preparation going forward.

  5. Jasmine Kerr (verified owner)

    What a brilliant course! Tom’s warm and engaging tone provides a safe space to develop practical and applicable techniques, to build an authentic character. I loved the ‘dip in and out’ accessibility of it all and the bonus checklist really helps recapitulate the core lesson (and return to for a reminder). As someone coming from a physical background, I found the linking of body and mind, to anchor the truth of a character really beneficial. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to boost confidence in their craft and up their game in a nourishing and motivating process!

  6. James Park (verified owner)

    Tom’s course provides very practical, easy-to-apply tools for your role study, character analysis and it helps to bring your interpretation to another level. As he says: “Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.”, if you follow the steps with dedication, you will be able to find a deeper connection to your character and create your own personal link to it. He helped me also being more confident about my skills and abilities, as well as with consultation as director and experienced former actor/musical theater performer, providing valuable insights and his honest personal opinions. I’m so glad I had the chance to work with him and would warm-heartedly recommend this course to anyone in the show business, who wants to bring the game to the next level!

  7. Tori Scott (verified owner)

    This course is incredible. I now have easily accessible videos to guide me or to simply remind me of the tools necessary to build the foundation of a character whenever I need them. I used The Embodied Process to prepare for my first in-person audition in over 2 years. I was able to walk into that room feeling so confident I actually had fun in an audition room. I had fun because I was able to really play! And that was because I did the work at home. I had the videos and the worksheets and took what I needed to be 100% ready for this audition. To know that I have access to this course forever is truly invaluable. I am so happy I made this investment in myself and my career. Oh, and I booked the job!

    I just watched the first lesson and I’m already feeling more confident! Tom’s style is friendly and he inspires creativity!
