Huge thank-you to Julie for a wonderful session! Her ✨Improvologue✨ method helped the actors approach these scripts with their own voices, perspectives, and opinions. 😍

When the initial and final reads are miles apart, you KNOW it’s working. 😀 Thank you for helping actors! ❀️

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! 😀❀️

Preposterously excellent workshop--not only did we have a full house of incredibly talented actors, but @sonicmega.bsky.social went above and beyond to bring out the absolute best in every performer. Brilliant storytelling from all involved; I'll be jumping at the next opportunity to work with Sean!

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.
