Coaching Advice 101 (for non-actors) | DRESS UP & OWN IT!
[Applicable for the upcoming job interviews, clinical exams, vivas]
It should come as no surprise that your external appearance matters to interviewers and examiners. And I know it sounds simple, obvious and superficial but dressing up for the part is expected in the acting world! So beyond the standard corporate outfit (dark colours), also consider additional stuff like: basic props (glasses or contacts?), neat hair (product or no?) and simple makeup (cover up any dark shadows!). One young-looking BPT told me he gelled his hair back to look like an older consultant for his clinical exams! If possible, I like to run my final tutoring session as a full dress rehearsal. That way you’re comfortable with your chosen outfit (not fidgeting with your collar or scratchy hem). Obviously, the rest is up to your performance. To some degree, you can use the outfit to own the role. Don’t hold back. Go ahead and project the better (more confident) version of yourself! Good luck everyone!
