🧠 The Performer Psychology Workshop: A Practical Toolkit for Auditions & High-Pressure Roles with Neil Sunley of My Soul Coach

Auditions and high-pressure roles demand more than talent — they demand a mind that can perform on cue. In this fast-paced, interactive workshop, performance psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and working actor Neil Sunley takes actors inside the mental side of performance.

Through live demonstrations, group experiments, and real-time mindset shifts, you’ll explore how subtle changes in focus, belief, and internal “direction” can transform how you enter the room, connect to the material, and leave feeling in control of your narrative. This is not a lecture — it’s an invitation to test ideas, feel the difference, and build a practical toolkit you can use immediately.

Participation is always optional, and the session is tailored for both working and aspiring actors. If you’ve ever walked out of an audition thinking “I know I’m better than that,” this workshop is designed to help change that story.

Your mindset ❤️🧠

Auditions, self-tapes and high-pressure roles ask for more than talent;they ask for a mind that can perform on cue.

We were joined by @activelyneil of My Soul Coach for this BRILLIANT live discussing the importance of actor's mindsets.

Neil Sunley is a therapist, founder of My Soul Coach®, creator of the MSC Method® (Mental State Conditioning), and a working actor.
He blends evidence-based psychology, hypnotherapy and performance coaching to help people who need to deliver under pressure.

Neil has been coaching since 1996, beginning as a head instructor operating a full-time martial arts academy, before becoming increasingly drawn to the question of mental toughness and making the journey from fighter to therapist.

Chat to Neil at his booth at this year's expo, and check his workshop out at 11:45am in Commercial Room 💫

A recent meeting of two minds, good experience again, thanks to @prosportmedia2025 @barrysmithactor @mix_boom_edit_repeat @mancop1 💙 #acting #onset #actorslife #behindthescenes

From the outside, it can look like confidence.
From the inside, it’s usually control.

The ability to stay present, recover quickly, and keep working when things shift
shows up in every performance environment. It’s a quiet skill, but it makes a visible difference.

It’s something cover in my new performance workshops for actors and performers #mscmethod

✨ EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHT: My Soul Coach ✨

My Soul Coach, founded by @activelyneil, supports performers who need to deliver under pressure. Neil is a UK-based performance psychology consultant, clinical hypnotherapist, and working actor, specialising in anxiety control, confidence, and performance in high-stakes environments.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience in hypnotherapy — and a background in elite martial arts coaching — Neil developed the MSC Method, a practical system combining performance psychology, CBT, and targeted hypnosis. The focus isn’t “think positive,” but building controlled mental states, presence on demand, and fast recovery between takes.

Neil works 1-to-1 with actors and other high-performance professionals, offering direct, evidence-based tools designed for auditions, self-tapes, recalls, and life on set.

Meet My Soul Coach at WeAudition: Actors Pro Expo 2026 and learn how to strengthen your mental game.

Excited to announce I’ll be speaking at Actors Pro Expo 2026 in London.

I’ll be running a performance psychology workshop for actors who want to steady their nerves, sharpen their focus, and walk into auditions with more control and confidence.

As a therapist, performance coach, and working actor myself, I’ve seen first-hand how much pressure this industry puts on the mind.
This session will give you practical tools you can use immediately — whether it’s for a self-tape, a casting room, or a high-stakes performance.

If you’re attending in February, come and say hello.

Great shoot today in Cumbria for The Game, huge thanks to @barrysmithactor @mix_boom_edit_repeat @mancop1 @prosportmedia2025 #actorslife #onset #filmproduction

A musician came to me looking to sharpen her focus and feel in control before stepping into high-pressure performances. After just one session, she noticed improvements not only in her music but across other areas of her life.

Performance isn’t just technique. It’s the mind–body connection working in sync, and when that balance clicks, everything elevates.

Always grateful to see mindset work translate into real-world performance gains.
