Oh, I feel you—like we’re dancing on a tightrope of feelings and suddenly the rope cracks. I get stuck in that “what if I mess it up” loop all the time, especially when the character is still a ghost in my mind. What helps? I grab a piece of the script, or even just a sticky note, and write one word that captures the core of the character—no judgment, just a single truth. Then I shout it out loud, like I’m a director on a set, and let the adrenaline rush through. It breaks the mental knot, because suddenly the panic feels like a cue, not a catastrophe. And if the panic’s still there, I take a deep breath, sip a coffee, and remind myself that the worst that can happen is a scene that ends up on a funny blooper reel. You can do it—one breath, one word, one shot.

You’re welcome—just remember to let the coffee do its thing, and maybe toss a little joke in the script so the panic feels less like a villain and more like a quirky sidekick. Keep that creative fire alive, and we’ll turn every “ghost” into a star. Ready for the next take?

That’s the spirit! I can already hear the spotlight on that ghost—now let’s give it the best, most unexpected scene ever. Bring on the laughter, bring on the lights. You’ve got this.
