Hypnosis Training Blog

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for change and it can be used to help with a wide array of situations and problems. Hypnosis can help with altering habits, improving motivation, memory, sleep improvement and a lot of other things as well. Still, even though hypnosis is a powerful tool many people and many professions still don’t take full advantage of its potential.

Is Hypnosis for more than Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss?

Most people tend to think Hypnosis is just for people who want to quit smoking, lose some weight or stress management and while hypnosis is great for all the items mentioned above. It can also be used in a greater content. Different professions and groups can also benefit from Hypnosis. As the title of this article suggest Hypnosis can be a very powerful tool for Actors.

It really amazes me that as long as Hypnosis has been around that more Actors haven’t taken advantage of Hypnosis. Athletes have actually been using hypnosis for a while now. Coaches have used hypnosis to help their athletes increase performance, motivation, focus and other factors as well.

Can you hypnotize an Actor?

Technically speaking, Actors are some of the best candidates for Hypnosis due to what their profession entails. Actors are usually very, very creative people. Actors must be able to read a script for a role and using nothing but the words on the page and their own imagination transform themselves into someone else. They must become the role or at least do there best to become the role.

In essence, an actor is role playing a specific situation. A good example of this would be Actors such as Dustin Hoffman, Denzel Washington, Sean Penn & Russell Crowe who tend to focus so much on their role or the character they are playing and literally become that character. They tend to take on their accents, inflections and other traits in the hopes of becoming that character for the audience.

Most of the actors named above would be considered Method Actors because they actually do everything in their power to become their role so they can deliver an amazing performance. Now here is something you may not know, but when an actor gets into this “zone” and becomes the character that is actually a form of Hypnosis. Technically any actor who plays a role is in a sense going into Hypnosis. Most actors or people don’t know this because they don’t know what Hypnosis is or how it’s brought on.

How Hypnosis can Benefit Actors

• Hypnosis can help an Actor with confidence, stage presence, memorize a dialogue or script, integrate a characters accent or inflections so it sounds and feels natural. Imagine never having any fear of going in for an audition, walk and talk with confidence and command the stage or room. Learn to remember your lines to the point where they don’t sound like lines you remembered, but they sound like natural dialogue and part of your speech. Since Hypnosis is a natural medium for enhanced learning and focus imagine being able to integrate a characters accent in less time. All of these can be done while in hypnosis.

• You can learn self hypnosis techniques to anchor or trigger these “zone” moments so you can always be in that moment. Maybe your day isn’t going as well, but you need to get into that zone the moment the cameras start rolling. Well, you can fire off a pre-set trigger and instantly get into the zone. This is very easy to do and can be taught to anyone. You can anchor any emotion, feeling or skill you want.

• Since your imagination becomes supercharged while in hypnosis you can get into the mindset of a character, allow your role to seem natural. In a way hypnosis gives you an advantage, allowing you to become comfortable, relaxed and at ease as if you are the character.

• Hypnosis allows you to break limited beliefs, creativity blocks, writer blocks or other things which may be limiting the creativity process which is so important to Actors, Writers & Directors. Imagine being able to think up a new idea or a new way to come up with a character.

• You can use hypnosis to help you lose or gain weight for a role, get rid of being nervous or literally train your mind and body to become the role when needed.

• One of the most important Hypnosis Tips for Actors is overcoming the fear and negativity of rejection. The problem is many actors quit or get out of the business right before they get their big break. Rejection can leave many scars on the mind of an actor and can leave many actors doubting themselves. Through Hypnosis you can train yourself to view rejection as success. Eliminate these negative beliefs and continue to push forward even harder.

Think of a Hypnotist as a Mental Coach

Hypnosis allows you as an actor to train inside of your own mind. Conditionally your conscious, subconscious and body to all work together for your desired outcome. While Hypnosis is still widely unknown to many there are a ton of actors who use it to give themselves the advantage. While Hypnosis can benefit an experienced actor imagine what it can do for an actor just getting into the business or just getting started. Imagine the HUGE advantage this could give you.

You know as I do that actors want hire agents to get them roles, hire professional photographers to take head shots, acting coaches to help your performances so why not hire a Hypnotist to help you with your mental game. Why not hire a hypnotist to give you that mental advantage. As a Hypnotist we know that what the mind does the body follows. I consider a Hypnotist a type of mental coach. Remember thought that Hypnotists don’t actually do hypnosis to you. All we do is help show you and guide you how to use your own natural inner resources as Hypnosis is nothing more than a form of self hypnosis.

Conclusion

So if you’re a struggling actor or somebody looking to get into any type of performance profession than I promise you hypnosis can help you in some form or manner. The goal of this article isn’t to break down exactly how this works, but to put the knowledge out there that Hypnosis can help Actors on many levels.
