Huge thank-you to Julie for a wonderful session! Her ✨Improvologue✨ method helped the actors approach these scripts with their own voices, perspectives, and opinions. 😍 When the initial and final reads are miles apart, you KNOW it’s working. 😤 Thank you for helping actors! ❤️

Benefits of improvisation training: 1. generally, you get better at life 2. characterization becomes more personal as self-awareness gets deeper 3. habituates the idea of acting being fun, genuinely 4. tacos See you on Saturday in the observer seat! 😤❤️ RedScythe.com

Preposterously excellent workshop--not only did we have a full house of incredibly talented actors, but @sonicmega.bsky.social went above and beyond to bring out the absolute best in every performer. Brilliant storytelling from all involved; I'll be jumping at the next opportunity to work with Sean!

Vulnerability is courage: interesting, engaging, and instructive, as we hold the mirror up to the audience. @coryyee.bsky.social is a courageous actor in whom I have the utmost confidence to lead this session. I plan to invite others whose approach and definition differ. I can't wait. ❤️

#AccountVerification + Using your website domain as your handle here. I cannot recall who clued me in to this over on Twitter, but if you own your own website and want to essentially "verify" your account here, you can go to Settings → (scroll down to find) Change Handle → I have my own domian!

Screenshot of the Bluesky account settings page, scrolled down to reveal the "Change Handle" setting - that is all dark and in the background 'beneath' a pop-up modal window where you can choose your desired handle (or username) OR click the link that says, "I have my own domain" — This image is part of a post describing how to achieve a sort of 'verification' here on Bluesky by using your domain name as your handle, where verification doesn't exist here in the same way it does on other social media platforms.

Every director has their own style, processes, & language they use with the actor. When I think of @quadbonus.bsky.social, I think about how Mike is focused on the PLAY. He encourages you to play. To enjoy yourself. While holding you accountable to your performance. Come and play. 😤 RedScythe.com

Can't recommend this one to people often enough--the language in the book verges on mysticism sometimes, but the results are concrete starting from the first exercise. Just get used to making weird noises on the floor!

#VoiceActors, Drink water! You should be aiming to drink at least two litres of water per day, and up it to three or more if you're exerting. Drink regularly, as that prevents mouth clicks! If you see yourself in the mirror, up that to six litres just to be sure, you hottie

Redoing my booth sample reminds me that being a #voiceactor means becoming cripplingly aware of every unwelcome pop and click one's mouth makes. 😣 DAW plugins can help, but those won't save you if you're handing in raw audio--stay hydrated, and chow down on those green apples! 🍏

Bit of advice for new #VoiceActor peeps in the field: For your mental health, when you audition for something, send it and forget it. If you get cast, it's a nice surprise! If you don't, you've already moved on. Don't be a dick about not getting cast in something :) Dicks get blacklisted <3

The best resource available to voice actors is other voice actors. We offer each other support, wisdom, knowledge. We tap in for each other when we're out, pick each other up when we're down, and have each other's backs when it counts. We're not competitors—we're collaborators!
