In this episode of 'Your Message Received,' host John Duffin welcomes Albert Bramante, a talent agent, published author, and NLP practitioner with two decades of experience in the entertainment industry. Bramante is a no-nonsense coach inspiring actors to cultivate a growth mindset, conscientiousness, and rise above self-sabotaging habits. Albert is also the Author of "Rise Above the Script".
They dive into the importance of real-life experience in improving audition and public speaking skills, and how Albert helps actors unlock their true potential by overcoming self-sabotage. Albert shares his journey from being a psychology student to becoming a talent agent, offering invaluable insights into how addressing underlying psychological barriers can lead to greater success. Whether you're looking to improve your acting skills, public speaking abilities, or overall mindset, this episode is packed with practical advice and inspiring stories.
I am especially drawn to this topic, as this can help anyone who suffers from self-sabotaging habits. Sure, there are acting techniques we cover, but deep down, at least to me, taking any and every step to prevent anyone from self-sabotage is noble. It takes so little to stop someone from pursuing their dreams. The practices discussed, along with the practical examples, will help you take the steps to navigate the fully authentic life you deserve.
