Description

Your energy walks in before you do — and it’s often the quiet reason you get noticed, rehired, and remembered.

In this episode of The Artist Behind the Art, Jennifer dives into one of the most overlooked skills in a performer’s toolkit: the ability to generate and direct your energy with intention.

Drawing on Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s wisdom — “Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into the room” — this episode explores how your physical, mental, and alignment energy shape every interaction you have, from auditions to rehearsals to daily life.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize and shift the energy you bring into high-stress spaces like auditions
• Why emotional contagion is real — and how your energy literally shapes the atmosphere around you
• The difference between reacting and responding with purpose
• Three key types of energy that help you show up calm, grounded, and magnetic
• And how to become the person people love working with again and again

Because your talent gets you in the room — but your energy is what makes people want you back.
