1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Actors are a funny group.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 2: They have to do crazy things sometimes in the acting.

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: I played a character for a very long time that

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: was beloved all around the world called Sabrina on Sabrina

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,040

Speaker 1: She had these magical powers and she could be anywhere.

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: So I did ski on Mars, and I was a

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: trapeze artist walking across a tightrope at the circus. And

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: I was a princess jumping across a volcano. So I

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: got to do some really really fun stuff.

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: She can cast spells and talk to cats on screen,

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: of course, and she's a fabulous actress who played all

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,280

00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 5: Today, I'm sir Louise. Oh, that's why I brought my sword.

37
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: Sure, but that's not a real sword, is it.

38
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 5: Sure it is. It's Sir Louise's special sword.

39
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: Hmm, looks kind of wobbly to me.

40
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 5: It's not wobbly. It growls to scare monsters away.

41
00:02:59,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Girl.

42
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: Oh, I see? And why did you bring it today?

43
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: To show everyone what a cool night I am?

44
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: Oh? I get it. This sword is your prop for

45
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: your night character.

46
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 5: That's right. With the power of my sword, I'm gonna

47
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 5: send you away from this planet.

48
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: You are a very convincing fighter.

49
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 5: You know.

50
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: Actors use props like the sword all the time so

51
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: that their characters are more realistic on plays, TV sets

52
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: and movies.

53
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 5: Actors.

54
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: Yes, there are people whose job is to play well

55
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: other people, animals, even objects, just like you're doing now

56
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: playing a night. Being an actor is about being creative.

57
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: I just want to know more about being an actor.

58
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: Emily Well, I think one of the very special gifts

59
00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: go Forward Labs gave us should be able to help. Ah.

60
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 5: What does it do? Emily?

61
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: I think if I move it left and then right

62
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: and make a circle.

63
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 5: Wow, what's happening? Earie Well?

64
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: The producers of this podcast wanted to add some magic

65
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: to this episode. None of it would happen in real life,

66
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: but it can happen here and growing up.

67
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,039

00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: That's the science of the magic. I guess, Hi, Melissa,

00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: why do you like being an actress?

72
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: I like being an actres because I like working with

73
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: a group of people to create something different, whether it's

74
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: you know, doing a scene where you're skiing on Mars,

75
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: or you get to live in different time periods, you

76

Speaker 2: you might be in Australia. The next minute you're living

78
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: on Mars.

79
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: That's cool. I didn't know it could be an actor,

80
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:18,320

Speaker 3: We can get another sword later. Actors always get other props.

87
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,240

89
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,960

91
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: I have a good story for a good night. Picture

92
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: this a time with no phones, no TV, no Hollywood.

93
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: Wow. How long ago was that, Emily?

94
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: Around the year fifteen hundred.

95
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: Hold on, that's like the Dinosaur's time.

96
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: Well not quite, but it's still a long time ago.

97
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: So picture a long road in the countryside, and in

98
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: the middle of the road a group of ten actors.

99
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 5: Oh.

100
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: This troop spends every night walking from one town to

101
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: the next. With every new day they get on a

102
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: new stage and get.

103
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: All of their props out, like their swords, yes they're.

104
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: Ten twenty swords, their chairs and tables, and when everything

105
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: is set, the fun begins, the actors tell a story

106
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: together for people to enjoy.

107
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 5: Sounds like a cool band tour.

108
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: Yes.

109
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: Acting has been around since ancient times, of course, but

110
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: some people turn it into a job with these tours.

111
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 5: Oh but I wonder, Emily, what were the plays about

112
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 5: knights and dragons?

113
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 4: Hmmm, not exactly, Louise.

114
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: Most of them were comedies, stories about people who fell

115
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: in love, neighbors who got into funny troubles.

116
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 5: Like that time Maxi jumped into the new.

117
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: I'd love to see a play with Maxie in it.

118
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: And you know what, Luise, our very special guests for

Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure she'll have some advice for you.

127
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: Most of us grown ups know her as Sabrina the

128
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,520

Speaker 3: with a talking cat named Salem.

132
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 5: A talking cat, no way, and was Salem nervous on set?

133
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,160

136
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: And today's my first game show. So I brought my

137
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: sword to feel brave. Oh, I understand, Louise, but it broke.

138
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 5: Now I don't know what to do.

139
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: I know what we can do, Louise. Let's ask Melissa

Speaker 5: of other people?

145
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: If you're nervous, your heart is pounding and your head

146
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: is kind of swirling, and you just feel like I

147
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: don't know if I can do this, and you feel

148
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: yourself like start to not be able to breathe so easily.

149
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: That is completely normal.

150
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 5: That's great to hear.

151
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes we think we're nervous, but we're actually excited, like

152
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,559

Speaker 5: Like me too, Emily, I'm a little nervous but also

156

Speaker 5: really excited.

157
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: You'll always feel those nerves, and if you don't, I'd

158
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: be worried.

159
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,360

Speaker 1: I'm excited. I love answering questions.

178
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: I love to entertain, so I love to tell people

179
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: about myself and try to make people laugh.

180
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: We are going to have a last so let's begin, Melissa,

181
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: tell us why and how you became interested in acting.

182
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 2: There was a TV show when I was a little

183
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: called Romper Room, and there was a woman named Miss Marianne.

184
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: And at the end of the show, she'd sit all

185
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: the kids down and she'd hold up the magic mirror

186
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 2: and she'd say.

187
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: And I see Tommy, and I see.

188
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: Joe, and I see Betty, and she would say all

189
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: the kids' names, and she would never say Melissa.

190
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: And I wanted her to say my name so bad.

191
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: And I realized she was saying the names of the

192
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: kids that were in the audience, so if I could

193
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: get to be on that show, then she would say Melissa.

194
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: And so that's where my acting career kind of started.

195
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: I told my mom, I need to be on TV.

196
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 5: Oh wow, did they ever call you out on that show.

197
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: I did not get to be on Romper Room, but

198
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: recently I found out that one of my best friends was.

199
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: Like, I was on that show, and I got so jealous.

200
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: I was like, no way, I never got to.

201
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 5: Oh well, I know how that feels. One time I

202
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 5: was on a magic show with my mom and the

203
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 5: magic man needed help with a trick, so I said,

204
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 5: pick me, pick me please, but he never picked me.

205
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: Oh, we all get second chances, Louise. Speaking of which, when.

206
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: Did you get your first chance at acting? Melissa?

207
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: I was four years old and I got my first job,

208
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: which was a commercial for a bathtub doll. The bathtub

209
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: doll was called Splashy, and I got to just play

210
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: in the water for I think like an hour.

211
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: I love warm water and splashing, but I'd be shy

212
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 5: if I had to do it in front of other people.

213
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 5: Does that mean I can't be an actor?

214
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: People can definitely be actors if they're shy. Some of

215
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: the best actors are people that are shy or overcome

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: things like maybe a stutter or any other kind of

217
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: thing that you think might get in the way. Yes,

218
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: I think that you can really come out of shell

219
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: and get to be You can play someone who's not shy.

220
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 3: I love that being an actor gives us a chance

221
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 3: to live different lives, even if it's only on stage.

222
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 5: I can't wait to be a Knight or a very

223
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: or my dog Maxie. How can I become an actor, Melissa?

224
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: Well, some things I think you can do or join

225
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: anything local in your school, join the theater program, join chorus,

226
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: go to a dance studio, take some dance lessons, because

227
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: they might this one day. They might just need someone

228
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: to do hip hop or ballet, or they might need

229
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: you to play the flute, or they might need a singer,

230
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: or they might need a gymnast, someone to do a

231
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: backflip or you know. So having all those fun skills

232
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: that you can play with you can.

233
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 5: Make so many dreams come true as an actor. Can

234
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 5: you tell us about other fun things you did as

235
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 5: an actress?

236
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: There are so many.

237
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: But I was really lucky because I played a character

238
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: for a very long time that was beloved all around

239
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: the world called Sabrina On Sabrina the teenage Witch. And

240
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: because she was a witch, she had these magical powers

241
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: and she could be anywhere. So I did ski on Mars,

242
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: and I was a trapeze artist walking across a tightrope

243
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: at the circus. And I was Alice in Wonderland, and

244
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: I was a princess jumping across a volcano and at

245
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 2: one point throwing my evil twin into the volcano.

246
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 5: Throwing your evil twin to the volcano sounds crazy, I

247
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 5: love it.

248
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Actors Rock actors are a funny group. They come up

249
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: with some crazy things.

250
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: They have to do crazy things sometimes in the acting.

251
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: They tend to be very creative people with sort of

252
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: very colorful brains, right, so you might think of them

253
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: as people that see lots of rainbows and bright colors

254
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: and fireworks in their brain.

255
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: Melissa, right before joining you, we were playing around with

256
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: this magic wand right here and hyps Yes, my mic

257
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 3: just turned into a parrot. This is officially my most

258
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 3: magical moment on set?

259
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 4: What was yours?

260
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: Oh, magical moment on set?

261
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: People won't see that TV show from weeks and weeks,

262
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: But sometimes if my kids come to visit me, or

263
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: my husband comes to visit me, or my mom comes

264
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: to visit me, and I see them onset, I get

265
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: really excited about that.

266
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: Oh, I know.

267
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: How it feels, because I love it when my family

268
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: comes to see me at work. And of all of them,

269
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: who is your biggest supporter?

270
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: I would say my mom's my biggest cheerleader. She is

271
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: always proud of me. She's always encouraging me. We actually

272
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: make movies and TV shows together, so she and I

273
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: are like best friends work buddies, and so I feel like,

274
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: you know her being honest with me just makes me better.

275
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: A big round of applause for Melissa. Now let's jump

276
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: into straight up fun our very first game show.

277
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: Today, we're playing a short trivia around the world of acting. Louise,

278
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 4: How does this game work?

279
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: Okay, here's how trivia works. I'll ask a question and

280
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 5: give a few answer options. Then Melissa has to guess

281
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,479
Speaker 5: which one is correct before.

282
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: The bell rings.

283
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 3: Sounds good, take it away, Okay.

284
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 5: First question, where was the first theater in the world

285
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 5: built a Greece, B, the United States or C. Egypt.

286
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: I would say it's probably Greece, because I think ancient

287
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: Greece used to have a lot of theater.

288
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 5: You got it right. It was built in Athens, Greece.

289
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 5: It was called the Theater of Dionysus, and it's a

290
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 5: very popular tourist attraction today.

291
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: I got that right. I didn't know that me neither.

292
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 5: Okay. Question number two, how long did the longest play

293
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 5: ever last? Was it a an entire summer, B an

294
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 5: entire weekend, or c more than one whole day.

295
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say an entire summer.

296
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: I just feel like there's I've heard stories of old

297
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: like directors they would do these epic, huge scenes and

298
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: it would last a long time, and they could make

299
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: something last a whole summer long.

300
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 5: Oh sadly, no, the correct answer is more than one whole.

301
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Day one day.

302
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,000

00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: eat something, or run off the set, or lay down

334
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,600
