Eric Bradley is a studio singer, whistler and voice actor in Los Angeles, with more than thirty years working on the other side of a red light. His voice can be heard on ten of the fifty highest-grossing films of all time, along with hundreds of other film, TV, game and album projects. Since 2000 he has sung with Dick Van Dyke in The Vantastix. He grew up on a lake in Connecticut as an anxious kid who stuttered, and under enough pressure he still can. He is a certified breathwork, meditation and yin yoga teacher, spent about a decade as a certified personal trainer, and has practiced the Joyful Exhale daily for three decades. He is the author of The Joyful Exhale: Breathing Under Pressure (Joyful Exhale Press, November 8, 2026). Everything he offers is one performer’s craft, not medical advice.

Topics he can speak to

• Stage fright and the minute before a performance
• Public speaking and a voice that goes thin under evaluation
• Auditions and recording-booth nerves
• Job interviews and other evaluation rooms
• Exams and high-stakes waiting
• Waking at 3 a.m. and nighttime racing thoughts (no sleep promises)
• Waiting rooms and hard waits for news
• Fear of flying and turbulence in the moment
• Holiday and everyday stress, in soft practical language
• What the longer exhale starts, and what the Joyful Exhale is (they are not the same thing)

Quotable tips

1. You might try one physiological sigh in the last minute: two inhales through the nose, then one long easy exhale.
2. You might begin the first sentence of a talk on an exhale, not after a big gulp of air.
3. In an audition waiting room, you might keep six breaths a minute, eyes far, hands open, and skip running the material again.
4. Under the red light, you might empty first, then take one easy breath in.
5. In a job-interview lobby, you might try a few minutes of about six breaths a minute, then stand on an exhale when your name is called.
6. At 3 a.m., you might skip the clock and the phone; the number often makes the night worse.
7. While waiting for news, you might set the next check time, lengthen the exhale, and give the hands a job that is not the phone.
8. On turbulence, you might try one physiological sigh, then return to long nasal exhales, with a simple fact: planes make noises.
9. When everyday stress spikes, you might try two physiological sighs, then a minute of out-breaths slightly longer than in-breaths.
10. Lengthening the exhale is the first step that sets the stage for the Joyful Exhale; it is not the whole method.
