How to Build Performance Confidence (When you’re always trying to improve)

As a performer (singer, actors, musicians) there is always something to improve. Always a note to clean up, a choice to commit to more fully, a skill to develop. But if the goalpost is always moving, how are you ever supposed to feel genuinely confident in your abilities?

In this episode of Performance Pep Talk, Sophie tackles one of the most common struggles performers face: building real, sustainable self-belief in the middle of a career that is constantly asking you to be better.

Drawing on research in self-efficacy and strength-based psychology, we explore how to start leveraging your strengths to your advantage and refocus your attention away from your weaknesses during performance.

We close with a grounding breathwork exercise to help you identify and anchor to your strengths before you walk into the room.
