MTI: Emerson, Adria Tennor, and me on being who you are
Move Touch InspireThe Newsletter for Voice Actors and Creative Pros An Idea To Move YouOne of my core beliefs is, "Be who you are." Ironic that I work in a field where we spend our entire professional lives trying to bring our true selves to our work. The mic and camera are the world's ears and eyes, and when they are on us, that self-consciousness is the obstacle we face as artists. That's the challenge of acting. And when it's met and we bring ourselves fully, that's what art is. A Thought to Touch You*"The hardest thing has been for me to learn is to accept who I am, what I am, and use that. That is the goal, that I don’t have to be anybody else." A Quote to Inspire YouEssayist, lecturer, philosopher, minister, abolitionist, and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson reminds us what a remarkable thing it is to be our true selves... "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." On YouTube and the VO Pro PodcastThis week's *Thought to Move You is from our recent What Casting Directors REALLY Want, with Adria Tennor. If you’ve ever wondered what casting directors are really looking for, this conversation is for you. Actor, director, coach, and Casting DNA creator Adria Tennor joins me to share the lessons she’s learned from decades in television, film, and coaching actors. From booking roles on Mad Men and JAG to helping actors discover their authentic casting type, Adria explains why so many performers struggle to book consistently and what actually makes someone memorable in the audition room. Adria is kind enough to offer our audience $50 off her Casting DNA program at https://adriatennor.com/vopro So glad we're friends, Reader..
