Zones of Regulation for Actors
Digital Deck. Free resource.
Acting asks you to move through emotion on purpose.
To unregulate yourself, feel deeply, and stay open in the work.
What often gets missed is how to do that safely, and how to come back afterwards.
This digital deck is a practical tool for actors to help name what’s happening emotionally and track intensity, so you’re not guessing or pushing past your limits. It gives you language for your internal state and support for returning to regulation after a scene.
The deck includes:
• 6 digital cards
• Intensity scales to help you track where you are
• Phone, tablet, and laptop-friendly PDFs
These are the exact cards we use in our intensives.
Created alongside and backed by Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists.
You can use them:
• In rehearsal
• On set
• Between takes
• After emotionally demanding scenes
This is a free resource.
You don’t need to train with us to use it.
If you want to learn how to work with these tools more deeply, we explore multiple ways of using them in our workshops, including how to safely unregulate, use real feeling in your work, and return to a regulated body afterwards.
