Just read this week's Coffee & Content and the fascinating short video interviews DPs about the tools, routines, and creative habits they rely on to prepare, shoot, and deliver their best work. It ranges from sugar to coffee, to meditation and reading to having an electric guitar at the ready with an. amp!

My question is what do you fellow artists do to prepare? For me it depends on what I am creating and it changes over time. Currently it's a 10-minute vocal warm up and body warm-up before acting.

good sleep, do full hair and makeup instead of my normal quick 20min job, try to do the audition earliest in the day so its not too hot in my house knowing that my ac is loud in the afternoon so I would have to turn it off to record but also would feel like a sauna in there without it lol and gotta have a coconut milk iced matcha!

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Physical movement, and vocal warmup. For writing, workout and coffee first.
