The feeling of knowing the concepts but still feeling like you aren’t emotionally open enough 😭does it get better with practice ? How do you get out of your head and become embodied?

I’d say I’m an actor who’s always “known” to act. Like I had the initial “talent” for people to call me good when I was younger (non actors) and I used to trust that I was/ or going to be the best actor in the world. But I’m in 2nd year of drama school and I’ve felt my entire worldview of acting shift. I feel much more conscious about performances only because I know what amazing performances take. I’ve been learning the craft of being a stage actor and how much practice it takes through body, voice, emotion and the internal world of characters but it’s so overwhelming that when I get a script I totally freeze up and don’t know what I’m doing. I know the objectives, actions, internal world building etc but the application to performance is so difficult when I’m in my head so much. I know I’ll get better with practice but I was wondering how do any of you get out of your head and let your homework become embodied in a scene you’re doing?

Ive found myself fearing a bad performance and ending up like some(if not most) of the people I go to school with, that just keeps me from growing because of the fear. I probably already know what I should be doing to be the best actor I can possibly be while I have the time to be it but I’d love some reflections from you guys on how you just overcame overthinking choices, applying those choices and just existing on stage or camera without letting your anxiety take over.
