Hey there, hero!

Like most specialty pursuits, we performers have our own special language when it comes to auditioning and doing the work of actors and voice talent.

And sometimes, people channel The Princess Bride's Inigo Montoya when it comes to some of that jargon: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

A good example is the audition request that is phrased like this: "Give me multiple takes."

In this episode, I'll tell you what I think that means (and give you two hard and fast rules for doing multiple takes), but...does it mean the same to you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Isolation is a curse to some, yet can be a boon to artists.

It can be damaging not to have social contact on a regular basis, but it can be nourishing to our skill building.

I have a couple of famous people joining me to share their thoughts on how being alone can be just what the doctor ordered, and is some ways, essential to our professional growth.

Do you agree? Are you the gregarious type that needs others around you to flourish? Or are you the loner type that needs isolation to focus? Or are you somewhere in between? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

We know as performers that the way things are handled in our business are sometimes very different from the way they are handled in more mainstream businesses.

And that can be frustrating, especially when it comes to not getting the booking.

We're not told why. We never know why. We won't ever know why.

But that's a double edged sword, especially given this new twist to the traditional rejection letter that the Muggles get when they don't get the job.

You might be very surprised what current HR practices have led corporate culture to "offer" to candidates who don't "get the booking." Let me know what you think in the comments below.
