Funny. Perhaps that’s the only way to do it. At one point in my life, I was part of a theatre troupe playing small locations for obscure plays. On one occasion, there I was in the scene and my line coming up in 30 seconds. A twinge of fear as I realized I had no clue what to say. The fear rose steadily, culminating in abject terror till one of the other actors turned to me and cued me up - at which point it all just flowed. Awareness of self outside of what you’re playing just destroys that flow state. It’s like that whether I think about the shuttle, the table tennis ball, or acting.
