0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>understand that you were working at Warner Brothers at one point.

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I was, and that's kind of how you got this gig,

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>is that you were well known in amongst your workers

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>as having a marvelous sense of humor, and they thought

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>they thought that you would do well on this show,

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>So tell us about all of that, and then how

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>you got the audition or did they just give you

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the part?

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, yes, I did start working as a production

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 3>accountant at Telepritures Productions and Jim Perritore was the president

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>at the time, and he told me that when I

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 3>started there, all of a sudden, it was lot noisier

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 3>on the floor since I started. So this was like

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 3>my first month working there, and he came over to

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 3>my desk one day and he said to me that

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 3>he thought I should be on the other side of

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 3>the camera and I told him, I don't think so,

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm an accountant. And he said, well, I think you

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 3>should be doing something, he said, because I think you're

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 3>too big for this cubicle. And I said, okay, all right,

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Well have your people call my people. And I didn't

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 3>really know what that meant at the time, but it

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 3>was kind of funny. It's funny now, and so he

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 3>did have his people call my people and they asked

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>me to say some lines in this promo. And you know,

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 3>at the time, the culture over there was it was

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 3>very fun and free and we could just have a

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 3>good time, and so I just thought we were playing

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.519
<v Speaker 3>around and I did it, and then a couple of

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 3>weeks passed and people started calling me telling me they

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 3>saw me on TV in New York and I was like, no,

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm not on TV. You know, I'm shooting Burbank. They

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 3>shoot in Chicago, and so it turns out it was me,

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 3>and it was announced in a staff meeting, and so

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh wow, this is crazy. So I

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 3>kind of thought, well, if this guy says that I

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>should be doing something like this, then maybe I should

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 3>take some classes. So I started training, and seven years

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 3>later I left the company and I was a working

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 3>actor and so I got this audition by attending a

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 3>workshop and it was mar Casey and she had met

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 3>me on a Saturday and she bought me in on

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 3>a Tuesday for this role. And this would have been

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>my very first guest star role audition. And I go

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 3>in and she was like, oh my god, that's so great.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 3>I was totally against type for this role. They weren't

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 3>looking for a black female, and in fact, the role

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 3>said that she was scrawny and she cowered from from

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 3>missus Gilmore. And I was like, okay, well, I can't

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>play it like that because nobody's gonna believe. I'm afraid

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 3>of missus Gilmore. She's so tiny and so and you

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 3>know me, that's kind of not going to work. So

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 3>I just did it my way. And so then she said,

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 3>oh that was great. Why don't you when you come

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 3>into the producer session do this? And I said, oh,

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 3>do you want to see it now? She's like sure.

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 3>So I did it. She's like perfect, see you Thursday.

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>I said, great, I come in Thursday. All the women

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 3>that were the type were sitting there and they were

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 3>all looking at me, like why is she here? And

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 3>so I go to the director's door. Happened to be

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Lee Challee Chamelle, and I was like I had worked

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 3>with her before, a five day co star. I knocked

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 3>on her door and I was like, hey, Lee, how

<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>You have such a great reaction to Emilyzia Crest request

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>of doing you know, non medical errands because you played

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Richard's nurse uh oh in the house. It was Was

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it intimidating the film film those scenes with Kelly Bishop

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>because you didn't seem like you were intimidated.

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 3>No, I wasn't at all. She was so sweet. She

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 3>was just the nicest lady ever. And they told me

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 3>they wanted me to be, you know, pretty snappy and

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 3>uh and so I was like, okay, cool. And it

0:07:55.480 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 3>was great because after after a couple of takes, Hilly

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Bishop got excited because she was like nobody ever comes

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 3>back at me, you know. And then there was one

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 3>time she was like, I love Teresa Gary, I love this,

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I love Princeton, I love this, you know, because you know,

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 3>usually she scares everybody away, and she was so excited

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 3>that somebody was actually coming back at her. So that

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 3>was pretty fun. We had a great time. We had

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 3>a great time.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>And you you worked with ed Herman as well, So

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>what was that like. I mean, he was great. He

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>got agitated at you, you know.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well he did, and you know, it's funny because

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 3>he didn't really like the way he was talking to me,

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 3>and they actually stopped taping and rewrote until it was

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 3>to his liking, and so I thought that was very

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 3>nice of him to, you know, to support me in

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 3>that way. So I thought that was really cool. And

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I actually ended up working with him again on another

0:08:55.120 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 3>show called Better with You a while after that. So yeah,

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 3>he was a he was a really really sweet guy.

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 3>He was really sweet.

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>And did either one of them offer any advice or

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 1>you really didn't seem to need any.

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 3>No, no real advice. They were just you know, very

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 3>grateful that I was there and thank me for playing

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:19.719
<v Speaker 3>with them. That was pretty much it.

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's season seven of the series. This is when

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you appear. How was it being a guest actor for

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a show that is already well established compared to a

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.559
<v Speaker 1>show that isn't.

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know, it's it's a very well old machine.

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 3>So everything runs very smoothly, and so you know, that

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.199
<v Speaker 3>was you know what I noticed the most. Everybody knew

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 3>what they were doing, and it was it was just easy.

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 3>It was easy, peasy, you're in, you're out, you know.

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 3>So I had no shoes whatsoever.

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>You're so right, you're so new. Shows sometimes take years,

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years to really get their groove.

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they did.

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>The first couple of years are just difficult, you know,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it's difficult to work on shows like that. Yeah organized.

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, it was very easy for them, and they

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 3>were you know, of course they knew they were they

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 3>were on their way out. So everybody was really relaxed

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 3>and else is doing it.

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know when it's gonna be over, Yeah, the

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 1>pressures off.

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>When was the last time you watched.

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Your episode of Gilmore Girls?

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the one you were in. Yeah, have you seen

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it lately?

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 3>It's been a long time now.

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Do you like watching yourself or no, I do.

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't mind watching myself. I like to see how

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 3>I fit in, and I'm usually pretty happy with it.

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 3>There's only been one show that I think I wasn't

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 3>happy with the way it fit in.

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmmm hmm.

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't a Warner Brothers Showy.

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So, You've had roles in Apple TV Plus's Physical with

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Rose Rose byrn Rose Byrne and the Amazon series of

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>League of Their Own was What was your experience working

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>on those shows?

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, Well, A League of Their Own was

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 3>probably one of the best times I've had, and I

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 3>think that's mostly because we we all we shot in

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Pittsburgh and so we all stayed in a hotel together,

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 3>all the casts, and we just got to know each

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.560
<v Speaker 3>other so well, you know, we we ate together. We

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 3>did everything together. We went to museums and to the movies,

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 3>and you know, we did everything together. And so it

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 3>was the first time I've ever really been able to

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 3>spend that much time with the cast, and we really

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 3>jailed a lot, and a lot of us are very

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 3>close friends. We have lunch here now, so so that

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 3>was a really great time. And then Physical was awesome

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 3>too because that was the second time I was getting

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 3>being able to work with Rose Byrne. I worked with

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 3>her also on the show with her and Seth Rogan.

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry the name is escaping me. Don't tell, but

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 3>it was my second time and the first time I

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 3>actually didn't get to necessarily work with her. I got

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 3>to speak with her because it was a telephone conversation,

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 3>but she came over to me and she thanked me

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 3>for being there and you know, and all that good stuff.

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.839
<v Speaker 3>And then when I got on the set of Physical.

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 4>She.

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 3>I reminded her of who I was, and she was like,

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.599
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, I totally remember you, you know, and

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 3>she was like it came out really good by the way.

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh cool, I'm excited about that. And

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 3>so on the set of Physical we were just like

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 3>two buddies, and I was so glad there were so

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 3>many two shots of us, like we really got on

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 3>well and it was a great time. Very grateful for

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 3>that one.

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you how you feel Hollywood is representing

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>black actors and actresses and writers and directors. Do you

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like the representation is still lacking or are you

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 1>happy to see the progress that has being made and

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>if not, what would you like to see?

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think both of those are true. There has

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 3>been some progress, and I am happy to see that,

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 3>but there's always room for more. And I think the

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 3>reason I say that is because there are still things

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 3>behind the scenes that happened that we will never know about,

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 3>and you know, I get to hear about them from

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.199
<v Speaker 3>sometimes people in the room tell you things because now

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 3>you're close to people and who are able to be

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 3>in these rooms, and you know they share information sometimes,

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 3>and so you do know that these things still they

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 3>still do exist. There are still problems, but you know

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 3>they're moving in a certain way, and you know, hey,

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 3>we don't have a whole lot of control other than

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 3>to keep doing what we do, you know, keep writing,

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 3>keep acting, keep training, keep studying, keep being the best

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>that you can be. And you know, eventually, maybe our

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 3>lives will be more representative of you know, of our

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 3>daily lives, because like you know, my friends have my

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 3>white friends have lots of black friends, you know, and

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 3>I have lots of white friends. So it's you know,

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 3>my life is very much more colorful, and I think

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 3>that a lot of other people's lives are too, And

0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 3>I think that should be represented more.

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>So you teach acting as well or have taught acting?

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I actually coach actors.

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh you coach, So you're coach for auditions and things

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>like that.

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, coach, And I created a I created my own

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 3>audition to technique called eight Steps to Working Actor, and

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 3>so I teach people with that and they tend to

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 3>take off. Really yeah, pretty exciting, that's you know.

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I used to coach actors as well before I got GIL.

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>More of I was you know, I started out probably

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the same way you did it, just helping friends out,

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and they said, you know, you should charge for this

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>because I'm getting callbacks, and I'm like, yeah, So I

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>started a whole thing, and I was teaching three classes

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a week and I had private students all day. And

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I undercut the market by not charging much

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 1>because you know, people that people that are trying to

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>get acting work don't have a lot of money, you know.

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 3>So that's true at.

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>The time, you know, twenty five years ago, twenty six

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 1>years ago, when I was doing it, people at that

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>time were charging one hundred and fifty bucks or two

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks, yeah, for fifty minutes. And I was like, man, yeah,

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't pay that at that time.

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, Yeah, I feel you. I feel you. I

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 3>was lucky when I was, when I was being coached

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 3>myself because I was in accountant I made a lot

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 3>of money. Yeah, I was able to train with the

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 3>best and just do everything I needed to do. And

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 3>that was a huge blessing. That was a huge blessing,

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's why I kind of took off

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 3>very quickly. I mean because I know people who started

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 3>when I did, or even they were in it before

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I was, and they still don't have the amount of

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 3>credits that I had. Not to brag or anything.

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>What's your secret? What's your secret when you walk into

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the room, what is your secret? Because you know that

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>auditioning has a little bit to do with acting and

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>everything to do with psychology, So what do you do?

0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't have a secret necessarily. The truth of

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 3>the matter is is I'm just there to do my job.

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm just there to do my job. I've

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:10.640
<v Speaker 3>done the work and I just come in and do

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 3>that and then have somewhere to go afterwards. That's it.

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>You. So you show them, you show producers in the

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>room that you know what your job is because every

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 1>character has a job to do, and that's the problem

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of people that sort of overdo their

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 1>auditions in a large role or small role. It tells

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>the producers that they don't know what their job is,

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to have to direct direct them into

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.919
<v Speaker 1>knowing what their job is. So that's half the battle,

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:40.400
<v Speaker 1>isn't it.

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, because they don't necessarily have the time to

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 3>do that on set. You know. They got bigger fish

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 3>to fry on set, you know, and so they need

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.679
<v Speaker 3>people there who know what they're doing already. And I

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 3>think if they can feel that confidence in you, then

0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 3>you're probably more likely to get hired.

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Right. Interesting. How do people access your eight steps? Is

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>it online?

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh? Yeah, I actually teach it in person, one on one.

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 3>It is up on my website Ttersagary dot com. It's
