In my short time of acting 8 months I have landed myself in 4 short films so far. I have a role in a tales from the crypt style TV series shooting next 2 months. I have landed my very first role in a play for theater called somebody famous By: D.M. Larson. I have just auditioned for 3 roles this past weekend 6/23/2014. After my auditions this weekend some of people i met along my journey said they have roles for me in their film. One is a student film the other is a independent. All without a agent. I have also started joining groups related to film and TV on facebook. I reach out to people who were casting for past roles with my head shot and resume. Below you can see how i prepared my mind for this experience. Life is amazing just to stop for a minute to understand if none had dreams you'd be sitting on a piece of grass or a rock with no clothes. Not to mention your phone or electronic devices. This website wouldn't exist you'd be reading something in the sand maybe. By now you should be thankful the fact that all this is possible due to dreams. The clothing on your back the drink in your mouth the food in your stomach was first a dream in someones mind who took chances to have it in our world today. I think most humans have forgot what life is about. Some of you to busy living in someone else dream you forgot the most important dream of all the reason your here is to create your dream. What is it that truly moves you. Do you have something to do without getting wasted or messed up that is truly a worthy ideal of you. Let me help you, all that you seek outside is already inside of you. When I first heard this I was like BS some of you might think this way. Let me explain why this is the true meaning of your happiness. This is because guess what nobody knows what going to make you happy but you. I could have you live someone else s life but would you truly be happy? I don't think you would cause after a while you'd know you didn't earn it or it wasn't true to what you really want. I would like to assist you to take a journey into your imagination. I use this tool everyday compounding on the excitement from moment to moment fueling your vision and drive to propel you into your dream life. I want you to start off in a calm relaxing place. If your angry or upset maybe you should try to wind down first. The best time to try this exercise is when you wake up. With your eyes closed sitting or standing up. Imagine yourself accomplishing all your life goals or living your dream life where are you what are you doing where are you living. You should have no problems imagining yourself doing things you would enjoy or love to do. Sometimes people avoid living the life they want cause they don't dream big enough. When imagining your vision or dream life don't think about the negative how,who,why. This exercise is to flexing your positive imagination. Remember none accomplished their dreams thinking negatively about them. The second part to this method is to allow yourself to step inside yourself. You should get overwhelmed with the energy of your future self. Allow yourself to feel the amount of positive energy that your future self has it should overwhelm you with joy! While in this vision I use the energy to Futurecast a vision of me acting in a new movie or meeting new people who share my vision. This has been the most powerful tool I have ever used in my life. Through using this method I have changed where I live and have started on a new path of acting. It also helps if you think positively as well you might miss the next opportunity with someone cause your to busy being mad about something you'll miss the opportunity that is right next to you. Stay Positive and Keep Dreaming Cause Dreamers made this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't let a bad experience damage or compromise who you are as a person let your light shine bright. You have the power to change everything all you have to do is start believing in yourself. Remember first and foremost you are a entertainer cause your in the entertainment business. People will never believe in you until you believe in yourself.
Your first step should be to find a school that has a very active film department and audition a lot I have put in over 50 auditions for different films at Full Sail. You should audition just to get your cold read skills up to par. Finding a reputable reasonably priced acting class will help as well.
People Networking is your most valuable tool.

If you believe opportunities exist for you then they will. For a long time I had a inner dialogue with myself saying you need to be from a wealthy family to be a actor. People are enslaved in a life by their thought processes that bring them to that point. Truth be told I know a lot of woman that are chasing their dreams along side me. My friend Nicolette Noble is in LA right now hanging out with John Stamos shooting a movie.

Studies from as far back as the seventies show that our brains begin to prepare for action just over a third of a second before we consciously decide to act. In other words, even when we ‘think’ we are conscious, it is our unconscious mind which is actually making our decisions for us. And it seems the unconscious mind is running us on its automatic pilot mode, 95% of the time! Neuroscientists have shown that the conscious mind provides 5% or less of our cognitive (conscious) activity during the day – and 5% they say is for the more aware people, many people operate at just 1% consciousness. Dr Lipton also says that the unconscious mind operates at 40 million bits of data per second, whereas the conscious mind processes at only 40 bits per second. So the unconscious mind is MUCH more powerful than the conscious mind, and it is the unconscious mind which shapes how we live our life. The scientists show that most of our decisions, actions, emotions and behavior depend on the 95% of brain activity that is beyond our conscious awareness, which means that 95 – 99% of our life comes from the programming in our subconscious mind.

Chase, that was really enlightening. Im going through a dark time in my life right now and feel like my dreams are running away from me. The more I try to imagine them the blurrier they become, but I figured out now maybe this is to do with the fact I think about it at night? Anyway I just wanted to let you know that reading this has really cheered me up. Congrats on your achievements Amber!

I have a life coach named Lauri Rubenstein in Carbondale Colorado. Her program called Step Into Great teaches you techniques to you are speaking of. I thought, at first , that this kind of work was kind of airy fairy. I committed to it and did the hard work and over a period of time learned that this is the very BEST way to achieve my goals. I have never been more fulfilled, never had the successes I wanted when I went through life with hazy beliefs fir my future. Now I have VoiceOver contracts from national clients . Happy happy
