Huge thank-you to Julie for a wonderful session! Her β¨Improvologueβ¨ method helped the actors approach these scripts with their own voices, perspectives, and opinions. π When the initial and final reads are miles apart, you KNOW itβs working. π€ Thank you for helping actors! β€οΈ

Benefits of improvisation training: 1. generally, you get better at life 2. characterization becomes more personal as self-awareness gets deeper 3. habituates the idea of acting being fun, genuinely 4. tacos See you on Saturday in the observer seat! π€β€οΈ

Excellent workshop with a stellar director! It's always a boon to be able to work with someone who has such a wealth of experience on the far side of the glass. (Note to self: watch Ratatouille before attending another class with Brook.)

"Taxes and Finances 101 for Voice Actors" is a 2-hour lecture I've given recently:

There are MANY variables that determine your process, eligibility, costs, deductions, and more. Precisely because we live different lives in different states. This is meant to serve as the foundation.

Can't recommend this one to people often enough--the language in the book verges on mysticism sometimes, but the results are concrete starting from the first exercise. Just get used to making weird noises on the floor!

Anime is mainstream media and at some point, one way or another, you're going to find yourself to anime. And those who possess proficient understanding of this genre will be able to strike hard at the opportunity. Sharpen the hammer with which to strike.

Bit of advice for new
#VoiceActor
peeps in the field: For your mental health, when you audition for something, send it and forget it. If you get cast, it's a nice surprise! If you don't, you've already moved on. Don't be a dick about not getting cast in something :) Dicks get blacklisted <3

The best resource available to voice actors is other voice actors. We offer each other support, wisdom, knowledge. We tap in for each other when we're out, pick each other up when we're down, and have each other's backs when it counts. We're not competitorsβwe're collaborators!
