The Hollywood Bound Actor Podcast with Christine Horn: Mindset | Acting | Marketing | Auditioning

What does it mean to be a true artist—one who creates not for fame or applause, but because the soul requires it?In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, I sit down with Jasmina G. Pizarro, a tri-lingual actress from a small town in Catalonia, Spain. With warmth, grace, and a magnetic spirit, Jasmina shares how she’s built a life rooted in creativity, intuition, and truth—far from the hustle of Hollywood, yet deeply connected to her artistry.We talk about… 🎭 Her early start in theatre and deep artistic lineage 🌿 Life in the Catalan countryside and what it teaches her as an actress 🎨 Staying inspired while living outside major entertainment markets 💫 And the power of listening to your inner voice—especially when the world gets loudThe episode closes with a beautiful message from Jasmina in her native language, Catalan—one that will stay with you long after the episode ends.This one is for the dreamers outside the spotlight. The artists who create because they must. The ones finding magic in small places. 🌍✨Connect with Jasmina:Website: https://linktr.ee/JasminaGarciaRESOURCES MENTIONED:Grab Your FREE >> Acting Toolkit: http://actingtoolkit.com/Let's Work Together: https://linktr.ee/actresschristinehornJoin Book More TV: http://bookmoretv.com/Purchase A Copy of My Book: https://amzn.to/35q0XIZCONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/actresschristinehorn/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@actresschristinehornBuy Booking Magnet Merch: https://www.shophba.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/actresschristinehornHBA Website: http://hollywoodboundactors.com/My Official Website: http://christinehorn.com/

In this week's video, let's delve into the delicate yet essential aspect of an actor's craft: getting out of character after portraying emotionally demanding roles.  Acting can take us to intense emotional depths, and it's crucial to have techniques and rituals in place to safely return to ourselves afterward. In this video, I’ll share invaluable tips and strategies to help you navigate this transition with ease and care. Whether you've just wrapped a harrowing scene or completed a grueling run of performances, learning how to separate yourself from the character you've inhabited is vital for your mental and emotional well-being. We'll explore various methods, including breathing exercises, physical activities, and mindfulness practices, all designed to help you disconnect from the character and reconnect with yourself. I’ll also discuss the importance of creating rituals to establish a sense of safety and routine within your acting process. Rituals can provide a comforting anchor amidst the turbulence of portraying intense emotions, allowing you to approach each role with confidence and resilience.
