Many singers, actors, and musicians believe their inner critic is what keeps them sharp. But fighting that voice, or trying to silence it, often makes it louder.
In this episode of Performance Pep Talk, we discuss what the research says about self-criticism vs. self-compassion, the three components of self-compassion (self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness), and why being kind to yourself doesn't mean lowering your standards. You'll also get four practical ways to respond to your inner critic after an audition, rehearsal, or performance, plus a guided exercise to try the next time that voice gets loud.
Great episode for performers who are tired of being their own worst critic.
