| Vocal Clinic with Fitzmaurice Voicework Teacher Scott Ferrara | 08 Jun 2021 | 01:08:18 | |
Today I'm excited to share a "vocal clinic" we did as part of The Rehearsal Room with certified Fitzmaurice Voicework teacher, Scott Ferrara! This is something very new to me, so I was excited to learn directly from a teacher, and as you hear, this work can be very different (and still quite beneficial) to the "traditional" voice warm-ups you may know. There are also many personal applications to this voicework beyond acting—something you can carry into many areas of your life!

The beginning of "Around the Bend"—the "unreadable chapter" in Alan Moore's Jerusalem Awake, Lucia gets up wi' the wry sing of de light. She is a puzzle, shore enearth, as all the Nurzis and the D'actors would afform, but nibber a cross word these days, deepindig on her mendication and on every workin' grimpill's progress. Her arouse from drowse is like a Spring, a babboling book that gorgles up amist the soils o' sleep, flishing and glattering, to mate the mournin' son. Canfind in this loquation now she gushes and runs chinkling from her silt and softy bed, pooring her harp out down an illside and aweigh cross the old manscape to a modhouse brookfast. Ah, what a performance, practised and applausible. She claps her hands, over her ears, to drone out all the deadful wile-ing and the sorey implecations of whor farmlay. With her bunyans all complainin' she escapes the Settee o' Destraction and beguines her evrydaily Millgrimage towar's ridemption or towords the Wholly Sea; to wards, the tranquilisity of night. | |||

Simon Vance (@SimVan) has narrated over 1000 audiobooks in his career, with such a diverse range of works, from George R.R. Martin and Steig Larsson's Millennium series (which we discuss), to Brent Weeks and Charles Dickens!

Just a bit of what we cover in this episode with Simon:
Simon is wonderfully open about the lack of clarity in his early years, the not knowing, and the challenging relationships. While it hasn't always been easy, he also has some fantastic ideas and insights on what has worked for him along the way! Plus, Simon even shares how he worked on a practically unreadable chapter in Alan Moore's Jerusalem, so don't miss that!

| Cashflow for Creatives with Kristine Oller, Actor and Strategic Planner | 26 Feb 2019 | 00:57:17 | |
Kristine Oller guides successful creative professionals through the process of designing and aligning the next chapter of their lives and careers – always with an eye towards helping them expand their brilliance and increase their resilience. She is here to discuss a rather tricky topic for creatives: having enough money to really pursue your career. Sure you can get that stereotypical job waiting tables, but is that really going to fuel you, or stress you out more? What would it look like to have a truly amazing side business that gave you the resources you need (and more) to fully pursue your dream, and to lose the desperation of needing to book a role to make rent? And Kristine was in this exact position: working jobs that drained her, and she found something else that helped her thrive. Yes, she does have a course (link below), but this is not an hour-long sales pitch; we don't even mention the course! This is a fun and important conversation about how to sustain yourself as a creative until you get your next break, and the one after that and the one after that! Just a bit of what we DO cover:
I hope you enjoy this conversation and this experiment—I'd love to hear what you think about this kind of episode, if it's helpful, and if you'd like to hear more like it. Reach out to me on Twitter @theworkngactors, or if you prefer, you can send an email here.

| Text Work: Webster's The White Devil with Ray Porter | 15 Jan 2019 | 00:16:06 | |
Ray Porter from Ep. #16 talks text work in John Webster's The White Devil. This is a Jacobean play and comes in the period right after Shakespeare. As Ray shared, plays in this period were much darker and a definite departure from many of the themes you'd see in Shakespeare's work. It's not a play I was familiar with and really glad these guests are introducing us to other classical works. As I mentioned in the complete episode with Ray, this may be a great play for you to find a lesser-known monologue for your auditions. You'll hear Ray discuss:
It's a great session and a wonderful discussion about theatre, politics, and acting!

| A Tribute to Philip Bosco, with Armin Shimerman and Peter Van Norden | 18 Dec 2018 | 00:19:21 | |
We have a special episode today. It's a tribute to the actor Philip Bosco. In this, you'll hear the voices of Armin Shimerman, Peter Van Norden, and Phil himself as Malvolio in Twelfth Night. Phil was quite a legend in the theatre scene, and he recently passed away, so I decided to finally sit down and put this together. Yes, it is sad, and at first, I thought this episode needed to be really somber, but it's also a celebration of Phil's life, what he did, and the many people he impacted!
A few quick highlights about Philip Bosco:

| Text Work: Dickey's The Rembrandt with Francis Guinan | 20 Nov 2018 | 00:14:44 | |
Francis Guinan from Ep. #14 talks text work in Jessica Dickey's The Rembrandt, which premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in 2017 with Francis in the cast, alongside John Mahoney, who many people know as the dad on Frasier (one of my personal favorites), but who was also a longtime Steppenwolf ensemble member. You'll hear how Francis found his way through the text, and the deeper connections between art and the relationship his character has with John's. I was lucky enough to see this production at Steppenwolf and John passed away not long after The Rembrandt closed. It's a great session and a wonderful insight into how an actor works. Click here for full show notes and links. Get your copy of "12 Top Acting Tips from Season One" See additional content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Francis' monologue from The Rembrandt HENRY I touched it. It was… surprisingly– spiky. [minor dialogue omitted] I remember my Dad reading in the paper that this Rembrandt had been purchase for 2.3 million– and this was 1961 mind you!–and he turned to me, I was all of FIVE, and he said (ala gruff dad) "Come on Hank, we're going to see what the hell is worth 2.3 million." And he dragged me to the exhibit. We stood in front of it, his brow furrowed, the callouses on his hand… There was something about the way he stood there—staring—as if he felt separate—as if it was some Great Thing that would always be just beyond his reach… I never asked him what the thought of it, the painting. It's just a slight thing—canvas, paint—and yet it contains—what? I stood there today, and I thought, [to Simon, sleeping] My love? Are you there? I want you to know.
