Overcomming Self consciousness
Wed, 9 July 2003, 11:47 amI'm a pretty shy person and i have diffuculty with overwhelming self consciusness in life but when i'm acting it's gone whether it be as a character or myself.
Anyway I'm after any advice for tackling this problem, its not a good way to go through life , I feel as if i'm watching my self all the time without being in tune to whats around me. The more I act with my immagination the more it goes but it keeps comming back when i stop using it.
Thanks

Re: Overcoming Self consciousness
Wed, 9 July 2003, 04:03 pmSounds like you've already got an idea of a solution...
What is it about acting that let's you let go of self-consciousness? Maybe it's the rehearsal process?
Overcoming shyness in social situations might then just be a matter of practise.
Maybe it's expressing yourself through another character?
Perhaps you should think about entering your social situation in terms of how you would if you were the character you want to appear to be.
Also, self-consciousness isn't a completely bad thing...so you don't necessarily have to remove it all together.
Maybe that'll help make the problem smaller and easier to 'overcome'.
