    13202: Don't Let Your Theories Become "Facts"

    Hey there, hero!When things don't pan out for us, we want to know why. And sometimes, we simply tell ourselves stories...when we usually shouldn't.We want to have things make sense, and so if we don't know exactly why something happens, good or bad, we might make things up.Especially when we don't "get the gig."As humans, we want - no, NEED - to know why (so we can fix things, or at the very least, not repeat the defeat). And so, if we don't have actual facts as to why things went south, we m...

    13201: You Don't Yell At A Bud Because It Isn't A Flower...Yet

    Hey there, hero!Ever get frustrated when you first start learning something and it's touch to get the hang of it? You know, you want to gain a skill and it's just not coming and you start to lose patience?How about when you're showing someone else how to do something and they just aren't grasping the fundamentals? Do you get a little annoyed?I see it happen in Facebook groups that "serve" our performer family, and it makes me sad.A little patience, some grace, a bit of remembering where we al...

    13200: What Jung Actually Said

    13199: What Do They Mean When They Say "Give Me Multiple Takes"?

    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 gi...

    13198: Your Career Is Born In Public. Your Talent Is Born In Private.

    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...

    13197: Thankfully, Performers Aren't Put Through This New Wringer

    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 w...

    13196: Serenity: Practical Applications For Performers

    Hey there, hero!It seems like almost everyone, at some point, gets the urge to become a performer.They look at the fame, the money, the autograph seekers and just how easy it is and those are just their first four incorrect assumptions.Maybe you made some of those. Some rules you thought were true. Some shortcuts you thought might work.And then, they, and you, were likely introduced to actual harsh reality. Ugh.Building a performer's practice is filled with mirrors and smoke and distortion fi...

    13195: What Defines A Hero

    Hey there, hero!Creative types have no guarantees.Actors, voice talent, writers...have no tried and true template to follow for success.Almost everything about our journey is unknown. We have no idea what's coming.And that can be scary. It can be frustrating. It can be daunting.But...it is heroic. Not everyone can do it. But you can.And I want to thank you for being heroic.Give me your thoughts on being a hero (which you are!) in the comments below.REQUEST: Please join this video's conve...
