FREE!!! Tony's Intro Class, 1st Lesson - 10/04/06 (17,167KB)-- Why these teachings -- and the acting here -- is different than anywhere else. The principles of everything that you learn at this studio are first discussed in this beginning intro class. Energy, emotion, giving up resistance, accessing your unique self, becoming the kind of actor you have always wanted to become. A good lesson to revisit.

The Journey is The Destination – 7/01/08 - Like an iceberg 2/3's of your power, 2/3's of your size, 2/3's of your expansiveness, your creativity, your magnificence lies underneath the surface. We move through life oriented toward only the 1/3 of our lives that we see -- but what of the realm of possibility, the potential that lies within you that is waiting to be released and explored? How can we tap into this unseen potential within us? Just because it can't be seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist! You have to start learning how to move beyond form, move beyond how it looks. If you are waiting for a job, or a date, or a house, or the marriage, or the role on Grey's Anatomy to be the moment when you experience these parts of yourself then what are you doing with the other 98% of your life? Your life is happening NOW. It doesn't begin just when you book a job, or make more money, or fall in love. It's happening NOW. Wake up to the stuff that is your life now on the way to what you think is the beginning of your life.

Eckhart Tolle’s Inspiration and the Power of Presence – 3/20/08 - Who you are and the power you possess transcends the labels you identify yourself as in your life. The power of presence transcends your only being able to make a difference in your work as an actor. Your ability to become present and take that empowered sense of self that is derived from the moment out into the world is endless. It is as infinite as the world itself. With that understanding there is nothing you cannot do.

A New Earth Inspiration and the Power of Presence (Lesson 1) – 3/17/08 - The power of the present moment is the creative factor in your life. The moment is your life. Each moment of now. How can you begin to increase your awareness to shift your consciousness? How can awareness wake you up to your being? How can you transcend the ego state that keeps you focusing on the rocks in the stream as opposed to traveling with the stream? Awareness is the first step. The moment you realize you aren’t present, you become present.

A New Earth Inspiration and the Power of Presence (Lesson 2) – 3/18/08 - Continuing our talk from the day before. Includes understanding the word Inspiration. In-spirit. Inner. Not outer. All the answers are contained within you. It’s not called OUT-spiration. It’s all inner. How can we evoke that inspiration? Through the power of Presence.

A Few Thoughts on India and Self Judgment – 3/4/08 - Immersed in different worlds helps you to remember to live your life now! The power of the life or death-ness of each moment. When your reality becomes pure survival then the self-consciousness, the self-judgment, the critical ego becomes diminished because you don’t have the luxury of obsessing about what most Westerners obsess about. Your awareness is fully dropped into the moment. How can we begin to live our lives in that way without having to be subjected to poverty to realize it?

Arabesques and Private Sex Clubs – 2/6/08 - How can you really get what you want in life? How can you learn to let go of attachments to your desires which implicitly and explicitly tells the Universe that you don’t believe the thing that you are wanting can come to you. Attachment = control = doubt = resistance = keeping yourself in opposition to what you want. Let go of attachments and watch what you want start materializing in your life. What does a private sex club have to do with attachment? Take a listen and you will see.

Why Is Your Consciousness in the Pig Pen of Life – 1/30/08 - The journey is the destination. What does that mean? Your life doesn’t just begin once you realize your goal. The realization of your goals may be signposts along the way, but your real life may be passing you by in the minutae of each moment that you aren’t present to because you are so busy focusing on your goal. What happens when you arrive at your goal? You’ll find that it wasn’t what you thought it was. This is because it’s just a stop along the way. Once you achieve it you will be back on the journey to the next thing you desire. Spend more time in the moments along the journey and you will see that that is truly your life.

Choosing a New Buffet – 1/16/08 - If you don’t like what you order at a buffet, you don’t make a big dramatic deal about it. You simply reorder. Why do you get so upset about the things that you are experiencing in your life? Just re-order. Re-ordering simply means becoming aware of what you are transmitting vibrationally – emotionally. You are “ordering” from the buffet of life when you are complaining, criticizing, judging, comparing, being depressed, etc. So what you are ordering is a big plate of that stuff that doesn’t make you feel good. Realize what you are ordering and change the order so that it better fulfills what you are really wanting to experience in your life.

A New Year’s Message 2008 – A Year of Magnificence – 01/09/08 - Do you realize how magnificent you are? How major you are? The ability you have to make a difference in the world – through your art – and through simply being who you are is tremendous. Anything that doesn’t celebrate and support your magnificence needs to be removed from your life. Step into that space that is calling you to be magnificent.

Fighting For Your Happiness – 11/13/07 --Sometimes you have to really fight your egoic mind to find joy. Fight for your happiness. Sometimes it is a battle. Awareness is the key. Once you realize you are not happy about something, how can you shift your focus to something that can make you feel better about that situation. We are generally set on our default mode in which we negatively interpret events in our lives. We are on automatic without realizing it. So become aware that you are set on default and change the feeling once you realize you are acting out of habit, not out of truth.

Visualizations with Oprah and Dr. Oz – 11/7/07 --If Oprah and Dr. Oz (America’s Doctor) are talking about meditation and visualization then it must be true! How can you start creating the life you want to live? By going within. A more centered aspect of yourself will emerge. Why do we close down the creative birth of our life? Einstein said that your imagination is a preview of your life’s coming attractions. Start visualizing differently!

Your Thoughts are Not Who You Are – 10/24/07 --How can you learn to go beyond your judgments – your thoughts – about yourself. Learning how to go beyond the mental, the egoic mind. How can you engage in the moment-to-moment experience of life? Can you imagine the people, the circumstances, the events, the assistance, the gifts you would receive when you start living your life beyond the mental realm? Most of the thoughts you have don’t serve the vision you have for yourself. They are conditioned thoughts from the past that don’t make you feel good about who you are. They are lies. Dismantle them. AS you do, you will be freed from the prison of your mind.

Fear vs. Innocence? What Would Your Life be Like Without Your Story? – 9/12/07 --Your stories are created by lies other people have told you about yourself: you’re ugly, you’re untalented, you’re too old, the business is too hard, if you aren’t SAG then we can’t hire you, etc, etc. You have taken these untruths to be your own truth and you begin to pitch them out into your life experience living them out as your reality. Stop letting the conditioned lies that we take on determine how you want to live your life. No one can write your story but you. If you don’t like it, write a new one.

The Cookie Thief Lesson – 8/1/07 --Not being contaminated by the conditioning process that tells you over and over again that something isn’t possible for you. How can you learn to live in the power of the Unknown. How can you learn to let go of control? How can you learn to live in the possibility that the unknown provides. There comes a moment in your life where everything you have been doing is but merely preparation for you to step into something bigger than you thought was possible. You fear of failure doesn’t keep you from stepping into this calling. You fear of success – the unknown – is what keeps you from moving forward.

The “Magic” Audtion Pill You Don’t Think You Possess – 6/5/07 --Everyone has their own “it” factor. Nicole Kidman, Sean Penn are not the only actors who have “it.” Now some people don’t let their “IT” go. Which is their judgments, their fears, their self-criticism. This lesson dismantles the lies that actors have been perpetuating through the ages that tells them something isn’t possible for them in their career.

Attachment/Letting go of Control in Auditioning – 6/4/07 --What is it that’s keep you from playing larger in life? You attach to the end results. Your awareness is in the realm of judgment/comparisons: am I going to do something wrong? Am I going to look stupid? Will they like me? Auditioning is not a separate entity. It is not separate from any other work actors are doing. The very things that you are confronting in your life and in your work are the same tendencies are going to be magnified in the audition room.

Just keep honoring that you are on your path – 5/7/07 --Of course not. But oftentimes, actors defer their talent, their power, their confidence to someone who started off in the mail room of some agency and knows nothing about acting, the art of creating or the actor’s process. Stop giving your power away to people you perceive as having power because they sit in a big office somewhere on Wilshire Boulevard. You have the power. Their job is to recognize it and market it. Don’t let someone who knows less about you try to tell you who you can or cannot be. You can be anything you want to be in a world that’s infinite and no agent or manager has the power over you to keep that from happening.

Review Questions & Answers: The Basic Building Blocks In Changing Your Acting - 04/25/07 -- A review of the first 8 lessons of the technique that help you to understand that without being, without listening, you are building your acting on a house of sand. The requirements needed to change your life and work are first and foremost achieved through the mastery of these basic fundamentals. Once you begin to have the awareness of what to do, how do you get out of your own way to let what wants to happen and open in your work actually happen? The first step is letting go of control.

Finding Nemo - 04/07/07 -- Being born into this energy field, called the Universe, there is an actual energetic flow that is constantly evolving, constantly expanding, constantly calling you to become conscious of your participation in - and alignment with - that which you are. It is the part of you that is fully expressed, fully creative, fearless, empowered, and ready to fulfill that which you came here to fulfill. This quantum energy is flowing and carrying you, even when you aren't aware of it. How can you become more aware of the power that exists in this field and tap into it to begin manifesting all that you desire? The first step is to just step into the flowing stream.

Bobby Robert's Stuff Isn't Mine, It's His - 3/20/07 -- Stop carrying around someone else's interpretation/judgment of you. It's incorrect. It's untruthful. And it doesn't help you feel good about yourself. Problems in manifesting? Take a look at how your wishes and your beliefs are in opposition with one another. They are conflicting. You have a desire for something in your life, but your beliefs about the possibility of that happening are in conflict with that desire. The most dominant or prevailing thought will manifest. So how do you change the thoughts to align with your desires? That's the work.


Don't Take The Quantum Leap, Just Take Small Actions That Will Lead You To Desired Outcome - 1/16/07 --When your goals are so far out in front of you, it seems unlikely to us that we will ever arrive at them. Consequently, we give up on our dreams. Instead of taking a dream that is so big out in the future that you mistrust the possibility of that thing manifesting, work instead with taking small steps in pursuance of that goal. Once you work backwards, so to speak, you will see that the resources, assistance, information, and the confidence and the knowledge and the strength that are required to achieve that big goal will come out of fulfilling the smaller tasks along the way to that goal.


New Year's Message 2007 - 1/15/07 -- Telling your story the way you want it to be, not the way it is. You are made up of the same things as the Universe. It's constantly expanding. So are you. You don't identify with that aspect of yourself that is infinite and full of possibility, because as the days seem the same to you, you are lulled into forgetting that the portal to transformation, begins with your thoughts about yourself. If you want to start tapping into the same energies that expand the Universe, it requires dismantling old thought systems that keep you stuck and seemingly finite. A paradigm shift is required. Once that awareness occurs, there are exercises that you can do that will help facilitate your rendezvousing with the things you desire.


Incorrect Interpretors of our Lives - 9/18/06 -- How our own LIES we have been conditioned to tell ourselves not only get in our way but actually unconsciously create the way we live. How to catch yourself in the lie and what to do about it when you do. Wrestling those suckers to the ground. What your left with when you win is the TRUTH of who you are.

Is it the Ego or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - 10/03/06 -- How the ego will make up every excuse in the book to keep you stuck. And if you aren't vigilant you will start believing the LIES the ego tells you. Don't!

Just Say YES! - 10/03/06 -- Whole new worlds are ushered into your life experience that weren't even available to you when you just say YES to life and all that it has to offer you. Once you say yes, the miracles begin occurring. The NO's keep them from you.
Row Your Boat Gently Down the Stream - 10/06/06 -- To arrive at the shores of everything you desire you must point your boat downstream and go with the flow. When you do, you are effortlessly carried to the things you have been asking for. This is the real work you need to be doing in order for you to start getting acting work. No such thing as coincidence. Go with the flow.
I Like Your Cowboy Boots - 10/16/06 -- How we keep ourselves from really being and doing and having every thing we want in our lives by letting our critical judge and jury within our heads decide what we can and cannot do.
Ugly Betty - 10/17/06 -- If you really think you are unattractive, or too fat, or too old or untalented...just ask yourself -- aren't unattractive, chubby, older, untalented people still being and doing and having what you want to be, do and have. Get over your incorrect judgments about yourself and say how you want your life to be.
Have An Impossible Dream or Don't Have One At All - 10/17/06 -- Writing exercises. And it's time to start declaring what you want your life to be -- or not live your life at all. If you don't have a dream you think is possible, why would you even be here? That's why we are here. To live those dreams. But instead of thinking impossible, think infinite dream. Because everything is possible.
If Charlize Theron Can Have A Dream Come True, Why Can't I? - 11/07/06  --Who is keeping you from having what you want? You! But if people are achieving their dreams in this world, then why can't I? You can, except for those things you do that keep you from being and doing and having all that you want to be and do and have. Take inspiration in other people's dreams that are coming true. And start demanding it for your own life.
Andrea Davis Goes To Tokyo - 11/07/06 --What do you want? And how do you get out of the way so that the thing you are asking for can manifest in your life? If Andrea Davis can ask for $2000.00 and the Universe not only provides her with that but also gives her a free trip to Tokyo, don't you think even bigger dreams can come true for you?
