4/29/2024
Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment. Fresh off a night shift and still buzzing from an inspiring guest stint with Type Talent Training, I've decided to tackle the silent beast that haunts many of us actors: self-sabotage. We've all felt the cold grip of procrastination, the whispers of self-doubt, or the looming shadow of failure. But how often do we recognize these as the signs of self-imposed barriers? This episode peels back the curtain on the invisible forces at play, offering a deep dive into the mental hurdles that can hold us back from the spotlight. With insights from my own acting journey and the universal struggles actors face, this candid discussion aims to arm you with the strategies to break through these barriers. As we unpack the psychological roots of self-sabotage and its impact on our careers, I share a personal tale from my bodybuilding that sheds light on the parallels between physical and performance disciplines. It's a conversation that promises not only to uncover the ways we might unconsciously be our own worst enemies but also to inspire a shift toward resilience and self-awareness that could illuminate your path to personal and professional triumph.

Allow Greg Apps, Jeff Seymour and Tiffany Lyndall-Knight to guide you through the tumultuous events that shocked the acting world in 2023, including the actor strike in the US and the rising influence of AI in the creative realm. Hear the the group share their perspectives on these events, with Greg offering his insights from a casting angle,Jeff critiquing the fragility of an actor's existence and Tiffany looking out for the young actors just starting on the journey. Imagine a world where artificial intelligence dominates film-making and actors are replaced by CGI counterparts. Sounds like a scene from a dystopian film, right? But this scary future might be closer than you think. This episode delves into the potential implications of AI infiltrating the acting industry, altering the way films are created, and maybe even giving birth to unique new genres. We also touch on the critical matter of residual payments for actors whose images are used in AI productions and the necessity to uphold the value and respect accorded to actors. But it's not all gloom and doom. There's a silver lining, too. With the advent of AI, casting could see a revolution, simplifying the process for both casting directors and actors. Self-tapes could be the game-changer, helping actors to showcase their best scenes and, potentially, reducing the role of traditional casting. And while we're on the subject of change, we also discuss the impact of streaming services on actors' pay and the challenges they face in this rapidly evolving industry. So ready or not, the future is here, and it's time to adapt and evolve. Tune in to this riveting conversation and prepare for an eye-opening journey through the future of acting.
