Hey there, hero!

The story of life is filled with dependencies, with our journey being affected by the challenges in our lives.

And when we think about how our situation might be better if we weren’t this or that or the other thing (the grass is always greener, isn’t it?), and we make assumptions about how our challenges are so…challenging.

And we need to remember that we get to choose to have these challenges (or not), and ya kinda have to live with your choices.

There’s no sense in shaking your fist at how unfair the challenges are in our lives, when at any time we made these choices for a reason, and these challenges ensue…

…but that we can choose to go down another path at any time, and choose a new set of challenges.

Do you feel at peace with the challenges you face as an actor, VO talent, writer or other performer? Or do you grumble constantly about what a challenge your life is? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

As if we don’t have enough things in the world today, helping us move toward the anxious end of the scale, and away from the calm end, right?

Here’s a simple way to combat that. I was reminded of this approach by the teachers of The Anxiety Toolkit, a free course I’m currently taking that is offered by The Entertainment Community Fund.

Hope this helps.

If you’ve tried this, was it effective? Other ways you know of to ease the unease? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Every new advance (decline?) in the development of new AI tools can lead to more and more anxiety for performers.

It can also lead to more options for our performance careers.

This episode is designed to take a look at both the threat and the promise of AI and synthetic voices and faces in 2025.

(If you’re watching this episode just a few months after it was published, this is all likely old news…but how to handle it as an actor, VO talent or writer is not.)

Thoughts on AI? Questions on synthetic performance? Let me know in the comments below.
