Most people believe that “confidence” is a personality trait that can be developed. Most people believe that confidence is a skill that can be trained through tricks, processes and mindsets. Most people believe that confidence will enhance their performance and ability to create success.
The truth is that confidence becomes readily available to everyone when they develop a deeper understanding of how the mind works.
People can perform at their highest levels and create success effortlessly without needing to feel confident first.
In this workshop, we are going to take a fresh look at the source of confidence, and how to make it available to every area of your life.
You will leave this workshop knowing;
A deeper understanding of confidence; where it comes from and how to make yourself more available to it.
A deeper understanding of the mind and where your experience
is coming from.
Where in your life you are letting the idea “needing to be confident” hold you back from your success.
This, in turn, will allow you to;
Create a lasting sense of natural confidence by allowing yourself to be more available to it.
Create success in your life with less stress, a greater sense of ease, and have more fun in the process.
Improve your performance at work and at home. Be bolder in the actions you take towards your inspirations, dreams and vision.

Episode 5: Why is it important to know your worth as actor?
Working on set as actor in Thailand is a little bit like in the Wild West. There are no unions. There are no regulations. There are hardly any real agents that stand up for the talents.
Therefore, you have to determine what you are worth. You are the only one that can do that. What is the minimum budget that you want to work for? Even if you are in a tight spot, you won’t accept budgets that are lower than that.
And then you need to set the budget that you really want to work for to make it worth your while. What is the budget that you feel happy to work for. With which budget do you feel that you want to give it your best.
And then you need to set the budget that you want. The budget that will make you feel completely at ease. Where you show up happy on set and are happy to do whatever they ask you to do.
Now you have three budgets. The one that is your minimum. Your ‘comfortable rate’ and your ‘happy rate’.
Now you need to find a way to make your ‘happy rate’ your minimum rate.
The only way to do this is by investing in yourself.
You can do so to invest time and / or money.
Here are four ways in which you can invest in yourself.:
1. Work on student films
There is no better way to get experience, exposure and build connections than to work on student films. You have only played small parts before? A student film may give you the chance to play a supporting part or even a main part. You can build your reel with the materials. You get to experience what it means to be the main in a production – it is completely different from being an extra or featured extra. You build connections, because the kids at university will soon graduate and if they like you they will remember you for future projects – if you mess it up they will remember, too.
2. Make your own projects
Instead of complaining that there are no jobs, create your own job. Create your own project. Write your own script. Find people that are in a similar position as you. That want to do something. Make your own short film. There are film makers out there that want to create stuff all the time. Find a group of people that share similar ideas. Be pro-active. It is the best way to gain experience, connections and maybe a show reel for yourself.
3. Join a theatre production
The Bangkok Community Theatre is a really good place to start. It is English language, they work with people from all traits and places. They have regular productions. It is brilliant for networking, to get experience, to get training by doing…and being pro-active. The BCT was the first place I started here in Bangkok exactly 10 years ago. I am still friends with the people I met back then.
4. Take workshops and / or classes
When I started, I took a lot of workshops. A LOT. With different teachers, different techniques, different locations. Some very weird stuff, which all added up and every single one of them was an amazing experience that I don’t want to miss from my life.
In the field of acting there is so much to learn. It is a life-long journey and if you are open for it, you have no idea where it is going to take you.
It all starts from knowing your worth and then upgrading that worth. Invest in yourself. Become better at what you are doing and people will see your determination. They will appreciate it. And will appreciate you for it.
Never stop growing and know that you are worth it.

When I first started my acting career in Thailand I took on extra actor work twice. The first time on Luc Besson’s “The Lady” – You can actually see me walking behind the main male character as he steps off his plane in ‘Burma’. The second time was for a TVC.
I learned two valuable lessons from doing those two extra actor parts:
1. I saw and experienced how it felt to be on set. Who is doing what and the do’s and don’ts on set.
2. I realized that this was something that I don’t want to do again.
As extra actor you are the lowest part of the chain. You are being moved around and ‘used’ as they wish. This was a feeling that I didn’t want to experience again. The hierarchy on set is very clear. Being a ‘featured’, ‘support’ or ‘main’ character has many more benefits and comes with a much better treatment on set.
People on set are also very quick to form opinions about you. Once an extra actor, it is very hard to get rid of that. I know an actor in his 50s who used to be a professional extra actor. He gets some bigger parts now, but in the community he is still know as the ‘extra’.
A lot of them. Several castings per week. For a year. I didn’t get a single part. I still went. For the experience. I started to become more and more free. In the end I didn’t care anymore whether I would get the job or not. I started to take the castings as a chance to improvise and have fun with it. That’s when I got my first ‘featured’ part. Five days of shooting. It was an amazing experience.
I have had many many parts ever since. But I have never taken on any extra parts.
In this year I joined a theatre group. I took acting classes. I joined acting workshops. I invested in myself – and I still do. Every time I made some money, I invested it back into myself. The more you invest in yourself, the more it will pay-off in the end.
I encourage you, to do a few extra jobs. Get some experience on set. Get a hang of it. Learn the ropes, the do’s and dont’s, but don’t get stuck in the ‘extra-hole’.
If you start your journey, you may be surprised where it will take you!
Good luck and enjoy your journey!
Until next time!

First and foremost, acting classes are a way of you investing in yourself. As actor, you are the product. You are the creator. You are the business. What business can run without investment?
Can you imagine a UFC fighter going into the ring without training? How high do you figure are his chances of winning?
I have seen it many times on set. Somebody got a small part. Maybe an extra or featured extra part. On set, the person that got a bigger part cannot act. During the shooting they look around and they notice, “Hey, this guy is good” and within a few moments, you got the part! Because they like your acting, they can see what you can do, you just earned yourself a bigger part.
The same thing happens the other way around. I was on set recently, and my partner on set just couldn’t do it. From being one of the mains his scenes were cut down. While we were hired for a similar part, the focus of the camera was constantly on me. He just couldn’t pull it off. Can you imagine how frustrating that must have been for him?
On set everything is about time. Budgets are lower than before. People don’t have time to get you where they need you to be. They need you to be ready. They need you do be prepared. If you are not, you will see your part dwindling very quickly.
Taking acting classes gives you the tools to be able to handle whatever comes your way. Like a fighter, you know how to handle yourself in different situations. They want you to do it this way? No problem, you are ready. They want you to play it that way? No problem, you have done it before, you are ready. Like a fighter ducking and throwing punches. You are ready and can handle yourself.
Ok, imagine this scenario: You did a great job. It only took you one or two takes to get it right every time. You were pleasant and professional to work with. The team and crew are able to go home on time or even earlier. Everybody tells you “Good job”. They are smiling at you. Shake your hand or give you a hug.
Now imagine this scenario: Every shot you had to do 10 or more times. You couldn’t pull it off. In the end they let it pass because they could see you tried your best and they are just not getting what they need. Everybody goes home late. Everybody is tired. The results suck, but there is no way to make it any better. At the end of the day they tell you “Good job”, but you can see in their eyes that they are lying. You are going home with the money, but feel that you failed that day.
You think this is only hypothetical? I have seen it happening on set. So. Many. Times.
Taking acting classes will get you ready to handle whatever is thrown your way on set. You are ready to handle yourself and the situation. You know how to work. You know what to do. And finally, if you do a good job, you will get hired again!
Have a great day!
