Happy Monday! Welcome back to Acting Class Daily and Part Five of The Elysium Aesthetic. We continue all month with classes focusing on each of our three areas of lifelong growth: artistry, instrument and craft.
Today’s member-exclusive class introduces a powerful new tool to our Artistry section. Enjoy!

This Month’s Focus
Part Five: Never Settle For The First Taste Of Success
Today’s Class
Motivation Muscle
Today’s Target
When an Olympic Spirit is supported by an Olympic coach the results are profound.
An Olympic coach knows the areas to improve and the buttons to push to bring out our best.
We unlock new access to our potential. We are pushed further.
Day by day.
Practice by practice.
Forging a set-up to succeed.
Each challenge becomes a future opportunity, a direction, for our Olympic Spirit.
When an actor’s Olympic Spirit is supported by the drive and direction of an Olympic coach … the results are game changing.
Every day, every rehearsal, every class, every everything, begins to reveal:
pockets of potential,
the deep belief that “I Can Do Anything!”
… and the internal fiery roar to get there.
This week we’re welcoming the next member of our Olympic Dream Team Training Staff - a powerful new tool for your artistry to master your Motivation Muscle … no matter what life throws your way.
