1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to your diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to from

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, so

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health discoveries,

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with me

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: as I share my adventures with you. Oh hello there,

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: Pod Diary time coming to you from Los Angeles, Land

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: of Dreams. Okay, so the week that was my friends

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: voice school. Why don't we start with voice school. So

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: in voice school this week we learned cold reading and

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: partner reads. So if you're new to the pod, basically

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: in doing lots of acting training, lots of voice training,

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: and I frigging love it. I love it so, so, so

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: so much. I wish I naturally could do character voices,

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: but I just don't know. I mean, I probably haven't

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: done enough work in that space yet at the moment.

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: The course I'm doing is in commercial voiceovers. So we

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: did partner reads. It was really interesting because we would

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: go into the booth with our partner and we didn't

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: add for McDonald's now have I got it here? Ah?

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I sure do. Okay, So we're doing an ad for McDonald's.

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: The actor opposite me was my husband and I was

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: his wife. Now, in the real world, yes, you might

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: go into a booth to do a partner read, but

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: you would never have met this person before the chance

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: of like ninety percent. So you've got to build this

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: like married chemistry out of thin air. And it was

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: really interesting because we walked into the booth and I said,

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: would you like to make eye contact? And he was like, no,

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: I'd rather not. And I said okay, cool, and the

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: teacher goes, yeah, just see how it feels. And we

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: walked into the booth and the note was like, you

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: need to give more and I said, what it will,

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: don't we just try making eye contact. We meant to

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: your husband and wife, we should be able to, like,

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, look at each other. And he was like yeah, okay.

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: And remember he's a voice actor. I'm more trained as

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: an actor, like a theater actor, so connecting with a

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: scene partner is super important for me. And so the

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: second we made eye contact, though, game changer, like I

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: wanted him to win the scene. He wanted me to

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: you know we wanted. We were kind of bantering and

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: it was working well together because it was a comedic scene.

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: And so yeah, that was a really cool lesson learning

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: that if you get to do partner reads, or if

47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: you're doing an animation where sometimes other characters are in there,

48
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: although you're going to be reading a script, because you're

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: not off book, you'll have the script in front of you.

50
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: It is nice to bounce off the other actors because

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: even though you're in a booth, you're not static. You're

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: not allowed to move your feet because obviously that all

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: affects sound, and you can't wear jewelry like this for

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: this reason, and you can't have bangles and jangly things.

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: But you'll notice if you watch any behind the scenes videos,

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna notice that the actors are moving there and

57
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: I'm doing it as I speak to you, but they're

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: moving their arms around, they're really getting into it, but

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: their feet are staying still. So very interesting and it

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: was really cool lesson because, yeah, if you've got a

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: partner read or a character read that's not just you,

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: then one hundred percent have a mate in the room. Sorr.

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: I make eye contact with your mate who's in the room.

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: And also sometimes you won't have a mate in the room.

65
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: That's also the hard truth of it as well. Okay,

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: the other thing is we did cold Reads, which is

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: my Achilles heel. I'm terrible at cold Reads. I get nervous,

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: I trip on words, I trip on breaths, and I

69
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: build these weird pattern and habits and then yeah, I'm

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: not good at cold Reads. So I'm going to read you.

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: It was an ad for this company called Chopin Vodka,

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: but Chopin spelled c hopi n like shop in vodka.

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: So they do tell you they spell it phonetically at

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the top, but then when you get into the script,

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: it goes back to that shoppin spelling, right, so trip

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: me up straight away. So I'm going to read it

77
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: to I'll do it Oussie. Then I'll do it America.

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: But it was really hard, And they give you the

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: specs at the top, so the specs are kind of

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: like a guide, And at the top of these specs

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: it says you can play it either A version or

82
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: B version, and so the a version is informal from

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: the mouth of a thirty something maybe with a little

84
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: attitude like this is effing ridiculous that we've reached a

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: point where we're actually got an infliction. You'll understand this

86
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: when I read it to you. And then B version

87
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: is more pharmaceutical, public service announcement, authoritative and an older

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: It says older male character fifty sixty. So obviously I'm

89
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: going to go for the thirty something because that's what

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: I am. Okay, so I'll read it in Aussie and

91
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: let's see if I can do chopin instead of shopun vodka.

92
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm doing it with that high inflection,

93
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, computer vision syndrome. It's an actual affliction caused

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: by staring at screens for an extended period of time.

95
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Chopin Vodka would like to offer up a solution. Stop

96
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: look into someone's eyes for a change, talk with your mouth,

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: not your thumbs, unplug for a night, and savor a

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Chopin martini with friends. Together, we can overcome this eye

99
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: straining epidemic one meaningful conversation at a time. Chopin Vodka

100
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: Life's fast sip slowly. So I did, okay, but remember

101
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: I've read it like I went in cold, so I

102
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: effed it up like three times. But what I did

103
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: learn is that if you ef it up, you don't

104
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: go unplug for a night and savor our showpin. Ah

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: oh fuck, oh oh no, sorry, oh my god? Oh

106
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: can I you don't you literally go? So I'll stuff

107
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: it up and then I'll fix it unplugged for a

108
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: night and save a showpin. Unplug for a night and

109
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: save a chopin Martini with friends. Right, so you just

110
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: correct yourself with a breath, so it's really easy for

111
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: them to edit. I'm going to try it in America

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: dialect just for fun, because it's an American ad. I

113
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: haven't warmed. I've got like warm up episode exercises I

114
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: do for American which I haven't done yet, So we'll

115
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: see how this goes. Computer vision syndrome. This is an

116
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: actual infliction caused by staring at screens for an extended

117
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: period of time. Shellpan Vodka would like to offer up

118
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: a solution. Stop look into someone's eyes for a change,

119
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: talk talk, not talk, talk with your mouth, not your thumbs,

120
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: unplug for a night, and savor a chopin Martini with friends. Together,

121
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: we can overcome this eye training epidemic one meaningful conversation

122
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: at a time. Shellpan Vodka life's fast sip slowly, So

123
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: obviously I butchered that a little bit, but yeah, just

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: fun to do a little bit of you know, a

125
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: little bit of voice over school stuff. So that's the

126
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: commercial course I'm doing at the moment. I'm really trying

127
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: to get the teacher on the pod, so I'll tell

128
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: you if we confirm him. He was booked for this

129
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: week but got COVID, So I'm hoping in a couple

130
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: of weeks we can make that pod it happen because

131
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: he's just got such a knowledge and he's a producer

132
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: and so it's kind of cool to get that more

133
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: behind the scenes perspective of what goes into ads, commercials,

134
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: video games, animation, all that kind of stuff. Really really cool, right. Oh,

135
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: I did another acting class. By the way, I've taken

136
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: my notes here too. I didn't acting class with an

137
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: actor called Cody Fern. He I've worked with him, like

138
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: I've trained with him before. Can you hear me just

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: scrambling all my notes here? Oh, I sound very messy

140
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: for I'm normally extremely organized. Here we go, great, got him,

141
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: got him, got my notes. So it was an online class.

142
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: I did that on the weekend, but he's got a

143
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: really great work, which is why I like to do

144
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: some training with him. And he said that as an actor,

145
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of the work you do is on

146
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: your own. So by the time you're actually on a

147
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: TV set or a film set, you've done ninety eight

148
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: percent of the work. You're literally just rocking up and

149
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: executing it in that last two percent. So you can

150
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: see where there's this big saying in the acting world,

151
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: which is like, do the work. Do the work. Do

152
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: the work, like, understand every iota of the play, or

153
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: of the scene, or of the character, or of the

154
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: time period that it's set in, of the culture, of

155
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: the religious beliefs, of the setting of the play, movie

156
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: or TV show. So he's all about the deep dive,

157
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: which I really really like and I think it's just

158
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: a really good habit to get into as an actor.

159
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: I'll read you some of the cool notes, yes, that

160
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: make sure you understand a hysteric historical deep dive of

161
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: the play, the movie, the writer, like, especially if it's

162
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: a play, you can research the writer and the writer's life.

163
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: All these notes are pretty much like, do the work,

164
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: do the work, and you you know, if you're an

165
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: artist he's very passionate. He's like, if you're an artist,

166
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: you own it, you know. If you want to be

167
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: an actor, he's like, buck up and do it, like

168
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: if you really want to do it, like go all in.

169
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: So I like it for all the you know the

170
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: inspo and you know the it just you walk away

171
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: going I gotta go hard, like I want to be

172
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: brave as an actor, and I want to take risks

173
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: as an actor, and I want to go really really hard.

174
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: And so that was kind of like what I got

175
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: from that. We were researching and doing Swept Nails for Ibsen.

176
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: The Ibsen play an Enemy of the People. So we've

177
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: got another class in a few weeks on that, and

178
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: so I will get to deep nime with more Ribsen.

179
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Then what else I think that's in the acting world.

180
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Although drum role, please are you ready for Monday's episode?

181
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm so excited that I'm not ready for it.

182
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: We have a great we have an absolute, incredible, iconic

183
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: Australian actor on the podcast Monday. Are you ready? Anthony

184
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: Lapalia is on the pod on Monday? Can I just

185
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: say incredible human being shared so much of himself on

186
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: this pod. I would say anyone would get something from this,

187
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: like also brought a legend to say yes to do it.

188
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: This guy's career is flying and he was kind enough

189
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: to say yes and do the pod. So I'm absolutely

190
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: blown away these said yes, And then you know how

191
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: we've launched the Wednesday episode, you know the rapid fire questions.

192
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: So he answered them so in depth and so beautifully

193
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: that I think what we want to do is actually

194
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: release it as its own Monday episode because it's a

195

228
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: I said, there was a knock at the door and

229
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: I got sent. The brand is called Hu Kitchen and

230
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: it's this incredible clean chocolate and they've just launched their

231
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: whole milk chocolate range. But it's really really clean. They

232
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: use coconut nectar to sweetened and there's no you know,

233
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,680

00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: and it's dark, delicious, like so good. So anyway, I

235
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: don't know if you can get that in Australia or not,

236
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: but if you're ever in America and you see it

237
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: at the supermarket, give it a try. Really clean, really

238
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: yummy and you don't feel bloated and crappy after. I

239
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: just tried a bit of a flavor this morning called

240
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: Almond Crunch and it's kind of like almond bits with

241
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: like desiccated slithers of coconut. So good. And oh, I

242
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: tried a new pilates place called Mighty Pilarates with my

243
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: mate Mo who this week was your Wednesday Hot Seed

244
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: epp so with your Hot Hot Seats, which is the

245
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: new Wednesday format. Basically, it's like a short little episode

246
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: with somebody that has been interviewed on Fearlessly Failing. So

247
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: I interviewed Mo last year. An incredible mate. We've stayed mates,

248
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: we were each other's first drama school scene partners, and

249
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: so I interviewed Mo literally a year ago, probably longer,

250
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, my goodness, I've just launched

251
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: hot Seat. You should do it. So now you've got

252
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: on the Wednesday just being Moe's hot Seat, which is

253
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: really cute and inspiring and another like actor, comedian, go

254
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: getter and just all round legend. But Mo took me

255
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: to a Reformer Pilarates place in Santa Monica called Mighty Pilarates.

256
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Really really good. My first time using those wall springs.

257
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: Like I've used the Reformer beds before, and I've done

258
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: Matt Pillarts before back in Byron, but this was we

259
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: use the springs on the walls. That was a whole

260
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: new experience. And then we like to go for a

261
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: big Santa Monica beach walk and we get our favorite

262
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: coffee at this little cafe called Primo. And there are

263
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: some real luxurious coffee places in that area of Santa

264
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: Monica called La La Land and go get them. Tiger

265
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: but we always go to this same little place called Primo.

266
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: It's just really yummy coffee, and it's really hot here

267
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: at the moment, so I've been gallon the cold bruise

268
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: and I'm still doing lots of yogs. Y seven in

269
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Silver Lakes my fave, because you do it's like hot

270
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: infra red yoga. But then it's like to hip hop

271
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: music or they do a Beyonce day. I did an

272
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: eighties day on the weekend, and I'm just really trying

273
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: to do the stuff that makes me feel really good.

274
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: Because there was a little pinch of time where I

275
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: was getting up every morning, having my coffee and just

276
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: sitting at my laptop and looking at all the auditions

277
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: and self submissions, and then I'd spend the first three

278
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: hours of every day just auditioning and self taping. And

279
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: you might hear that and be like, wow, that's good,

280
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, motivation and stuff. But I was saying yes

281
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: to everything, and like I'd be getting calls to short

282
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: films and they'd be booking me the night before and

283
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: I'd have to be on an American dialect and there'd

284
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: be no pay and things like that, and I started

285
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: to go okay, and I burnt out. You know, I

286
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: got really burnt out. I got a bit sick, and

287
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, something's got to change, and I

288
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: just started to go. You know what what makes me

289
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: feel confident as an actor is actually to be connected

290
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: to my body and to move and to eat really

291
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: good food and to you know, feel good. And so

292
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: I've started to kind of like tweak my priorities where

293
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: I get up Now, I go to yogs, get a

294
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: green juice, come home and then have my coffee and

295
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of go through the like audition process, self tape

296
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: if it's the right fit. And so as a result,

297
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm self taping slightly less, but I feel like the

298
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: quality that's going out is a much better fit for me.

299
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: I hope that makes I hope that mix sence. Oh.

300
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: I also did a shoot yesterday for these really coolies,

301
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: the Ovaries. I called them ovaries yesterday. Do overalls, Oh

302
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: my goodness, forty and slip tell you what. And they're

303
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: these overalls. They're maternity overalls, so you can wear them

304
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: as you are pregnant and then when you have the bambino,

305
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: you can literally carry the bambino in the front little

00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: ten minutes from being six months pregnant to holding the
