Hey there, hero! The perfect server not only gives you great service… …they are actually nowhere to be found when they aren’t needed. Ever notice that? It’s an art and skill to know when you’re needed and when you’re not - and that applies to us when we’re auditioning and pursuing the work. I have some thoughts, and how to make our “level of appropriate service” rival that of our fave bartender, hair cutter or customer service rep. Care to share any experiences you’ve had with that perfect service worker? Or how you’ve been able to master that appropriate level of service when auditioning? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! A marketing mashup…what the heck is that? It’s what I call those quick little phrases that give someone a clear idea of your creative essence: who you are, how you sound, what kind of characters you play…that sort of thing. What’s my marketing mashup? “Paul Giamatti meets Uncle Fester.” Simple. Direct. To the point. And maybe, for all the profiles and bios and headlines and signatures you’re asked to create in our business, maybe you could use one. Heck, maybe you already have one. Either way, let’s arrive at one, and if you would, post it in a comment below, and include your headshot if appropriate. So…what’s your marketing mashup?

Hey there, hero! The concept of open loops has come up so much in the last few weeks for me that I wanted to revisit an episode from 2019 that explained open loops and how powerful they can be for you. Writers use open loops to create cliffhangers. VO talent can use open loops in their profiles and bios. Actors can use open loops in their slates and “tell us more about yourself”s. And on and on it goes. After you watch this episode, can you think of some ways I didn’t mention that let you use open loops in your performance practice? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! In another episode, I threaten you with harsh words if I ever catch you minimizing yourself. And it’s not just in how you describe yourself, it’s specifically about how you set your fees. And, of course, there’s a TED talk on this: Casey Brown gave that talk over a decade ago, and it’s timeless. And she has two big takeaways that are so on point for performers like you that it’s as if she was vacationing in our heads. How do you stack up in the self-worth conversation? How confident are you when setting your rates? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! I was at a party a couple of years ago, and someone in our group was asked, “What do you do?” In Los Angeles, it’s rare that the answer to that question isn’t “I’m an actor.” In this case, the woman answered with a bit of a twist: “I'm a bit of an actor." Please don’t let me catch you saying this. That would be an issue. And I’ve heard versions of that: "I dabble in audiobooks." "Occasionally, I write some stuff." In this episode, I want to impress upon you that words do matter. You have every right to be proud. Try not to minimize yourself - be clear and precise. And own your life’s work and career choice. How do you describe what you do? Do you find yourself less-than-ing yourself? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Lagom is not “just OK.” It’s not “good enough for government work.” It’s actually a cultural concept in Sweden that is really useful in lots of different ways. In a nutshell, it means “not too much, not too little, but just right.” Kinda like Goldilocks and her interaction with those three bears. And we, as performers, can embrace lagom to help us try just a bit harder… …and not get wrapped around the axle trying to be perfect. Your thoughts on this? Does the concept of “just right” feel just right to you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! You’ve likely heard many times in life the pithy quote, “Winners never quit!” (And sometimes, the additional converse of “Quitters never win!”) Yeah. You can safely ignore that. This episode is all about the truth: winners do sometimes quit. Let’s discuss a bit deeper when and how and why. When do you decide to give up? What are your personal standards for abandoning an effort? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! If you’re at all like me, I’ve often wondered if I’m the odd man out. A left-brained person in a right-brained body. See, I’m a creative…but I’m also proudly analytical and organized. I hear you. “Freak!” Yep. And guess what? Turns out you are too. My evidence? Two different authoritative videos on YouTube that dispel the left-brain/right-brain myth.

Hey there, hero! What is your reaction when you see someone you know on TV? When a colleague pops up on the screen in a movie? When you hear that familiar voice in a spot? When you see the byline, and it’s not you, but someone…just…like…you? And further, what kind of feelz well up when it’s for something you submitted an audition? I’m sure there is a whole rainbow of reactions - and I’d love to know what you have as a go-to response. Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Actors, voice talent and writers often face the question of whether they should run their creative practice as an individual, being paid as an employee, or as a company, paid via invoicing on a more formal basis. And the answer is… …it depends. In this episode, I take a look at the options you have in either case, not as a professional business manager, but from both sides of the equation. What has your experience been when making this decision? As I say in the episode, please don’t offer any advice to anyone (even if you are a professional at money management and/or taxes), but let me know in the comments below what you’ve decided and what led to that decision. If you want to. No pressure.

Hey there, hero! I ran across a quote by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz that called out a huge difference in how feedback/criticism/adjustments land with kids…as opposed to how that can land with adults. And it comes down to what he called “...the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem.” Adults don’t like to be questioned about their choices. Kids? They usually don’t give a rat. They’re used to being guided by adults, and don’t know what they don’t know. So…some advice in this episode about how to handle feedback from a coach, and not feel like you’ve been insulted. And how DO you feel when you get feedback from a trainer/coach/consultant/teacher? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Short and sweet: six words that might make your day a bit more impactful, and give you a bit more moxie and courage to do what we do as professional performers. (I ask my students at the end of each of our live workouts if they had anything resonate for them during the session - a #1 takeaway - and as I traversed the web yesterday…Ms. Anjelou, in just those six concise words, handed me what was my #1 takeaway of yesterday.)

Hey there, hero! So… …you didn't get the gig. They went with someone else. You're disappointed, and that's understandable. But what are you missing from the experience?

Hey there, hero! As you sit there at the moment of creation... With a blank page... Nothing yet recorded for an audition... A blinking cursor... Not even a countdown to begin recording, or an unclicked record button, not even a cleared throat... ...how do you handle that moment? Are you frozen? Or do you make a mess and then make it better? That's a phrase I didn't include in the episode, but it's worth having handy: just get something made, even if it's messy (it likely will be first time around) then make it better.

Hey there, hero! If you find yourself talking to yourself when you're by yourself... ...that's not only OK, it's a mark of genius. That's what the Internet says, and I'm going with them on this. I don't want you to feel anything but joy and wisdom if you're an inveterate self-talker. And I'm not limiting my support just to those who murmur or mutter to themselves - I'm a full-volume talking machine when I'm alone, sometimes raising my voice to make a point.

Hey there, hero! This is the final episode of the podcast for the year. And as I recorded this episode, I was wading through my inbox, which is currently filling up with listicles of The Best XXXXXX Of The Year, or Our Predictions For The Best XXXXXX Of The Upcoming Year. I tend to look at those things as fun, maybe interesting, but ultimately not very useful. Want a healthy alternative? Do your grunt work. Update your resume. Review your bios. Re-edit your demo with footage from your last job. Tweak your writing samples. Take the time not to look at the past to try and predict the future, but work your office hours to help people get a current snapshot of who you are as a performer. We almost always forget in some way to do that mundane but critical work. It's so critical that I dedicate two full courses in VOHeroes (Systems Tuneup - Part 1 and 2) to keeping things running smoothly and up to date. Might you have admin work you need to do for yourself? What auditing do you need to accomplish? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! There’s a lot of value in having workable expertise, value in having expertise that’s exceptional, and it’s something I think most of us strive to acquire. There’s also a lot of value in being dependable, being reliable, being a rock to others in your life…to show up, hit your mark and do the work. If you had to choose one or the other (I’m sure we’d all like to strive for both, but…), which would you prefer? I’d like to know your answer to the question posed in the title of this episode, and I’d love to know from two perspectives if you would (in the comments below): 1) Which do you value in others? What would you choose in your peers if you had to make a choice? 2) Which do you strive for in yourself? What would you choose to be more proficient in (knowledge or reliability) if you had to make a choice? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Space mathematician Katherine Johnson said, about the new strategies, tactics and calculation being created for the moon landing, “There were no textbooks, so we had to write one.” Ever faced something brand new in your acting, voice work or writing? It’s not like working in a factory doing repetitive activities that have a long history of experience. There are very few “explainer videos” available on the things we create for our characters, our actions and our explanations. We, more often than not, have to create things from scratch. That’s a pretty cool thing: creating the manual - the textbook - for something you’re creating from scratch as a talent. Does it excite you to create the approach to something that’s brand new? Or does it give you the willies? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! You’ve met people in our business who’ve been trained to say yes to everything. When asked what they are best at, they never say never. They say yes to anything. They can play any role, voice any character, write in any genre…each with world class capabilities. Yeah. Don’t be that guy. But…are you being honest with others and yourself as to what you truly are capable of doing, or are you shorting yourself and “playing small” with your actual skill set? Does a self-effacing tendency get in the way of being true to your talents? Let me know in the comments below.
