Album Notes

What is Star Power?

Star Power is a revolutionary CD that will open one’s mind and expand the ability of the actor who listens to it. It is a recorded hypnotherapy session adapted to the needs of today’s actor, designed to increase their confidence and relaxation during the audition process. It is based on the premise that if we felt like we were filled with “Star Power”, we would be able to achieve success at all our auditions.
The challenge of having a successful career needs talent, perseverance, discipline, practice and luck. Having the appropriate attitude and confidence definitely helps. By incorporating hypnotherapy into the regular training and preparation that the actor uses, the mind will be more cooperative to support successful auditions.
Audition skills are among the greatest assets an actor could possess. Many skilled professionals miss opportunities for work simply for having been nervous or uncomfortable at an audition.
Star Power may be listened to regularly to assist in preparing for auditions. It is similar to a gym for the mind. Regularity and frequency yields results.


What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a proven technique to relax the mind and bring about a winning attitude. Based on psychological principles, it is a reprogramming of the talk that our subconscious feeds our conscious mind while in a comfortable and relaxed state. Hypnotherapy is about changing that self talk so that it becomes useful and helpful to us to achieve our goals. Hypnosis is natural and safe. It is a series of verbal suggestions that are said in a manner that anchors it to the mind.
By relaxing this area of the brain, one is able to fully understand what they are hearing. This way, one is more receptive to suggestions and having them assimilate because the conscious mind is not interfering, judging or being critical of the new information.
Hypnotherapy works best at a quite moment either early after waking or before falling asleep when the mind is most relaxed. Even if you do fall asleep while listening to hypnotherapy the subconscious mind will still take in the information. All Hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
