Performance Enhancement Workshop - Learn "Mental Toughness" Secrets for Actors
Like elite athletes, actors have to perform in high visibility, high pressure situations.  Performance research has demonstrated that 50-95% of success in high level sports can be attributed to mental factors known collectively as "Mental Toughness".  The same can be said for acting.  This workshop will allow you to learn techniques employed by top athletes to help them stay at the top of their game.
