I have been procrastinating reading The Viewpoints Book for almost a decade, because while I feel it has value in some areas of theater, it has not been super helpful to me. I finally started it this week, and, while some of my issues with it remain the same, it has not only been a surprisingly enjoyable read, but is surprisingly holistic!
First off thanks for asking this question, I am very similar to you in pretty much everything said - landing auditions but I'm also somewhat stiff during them and wanted to see how to help with that.
​
Along with what others said about training and dancing, I looked up potential resources that may help with movement in acting and purchased these 2 books - I haven't read either yet but you may find interest in them.

Check out the Viewpoints book by Anne Bogart. Her techniques are an invaluable resource for movement on stage
