We know that failure is the engine of learning, but how do you actually practice it in a safe and productive way?

In this episode, I provide a full workout plan with SIX specific exercises designed to put you in challenging situations.

Learn practical drills for your practice groups or classes that train you to handle wild scenes, distracting environments, and even challenging scene partners. This is your guide to getting your reps in, building a tolerance for chaos, and developing the confidence that you can handle anything on stage.

And you can get these exercises as a handy written PDF. Link for that right below this sentence. Hi!
