30. Acting Is Life and Vice Versa

30 Episodes. On to more, let's go!!! I can not believe it. One season of my podcast. One season of learnings, trials, improvements, discoveries to guide me, my guests to hopefully continue on to make it more entertaining for the listeners. Acting is Life and I believe they both inform each other and in the process make us better! As people and as actors.

Method or not, Sir. Anthony Hopkins talks about his craft, about The Actors Studio, about his best actor winning role in the exceptional film The Father, on The Late Show with Sthephen Colbert. It is the perfect episode to finish this 1st season. This episode was one of the first I recorded and could not publish it as a conversation. So what did I do creatively!? I changed it into a monologue from what used to be, a dialogue a scene. Meaning, I had it as a conversation between myself and another person, later I had to keep only my comments. Instead of giving up on it, I thought how can I solve this and obtain my goal? Creatively, as a person I learned from what a character might do, to obtain the goal and overcome obstacles. And that is when I thought, I can make it be a monologue. Here again, characters teach us how to navigate everyday life. They teach us that everything is possible if we dare to try. They have no choice but to keep trying or the film, the play would not go on.  So must we, keep on, go on! 

Thank you for listening to the first Season and I hope you will continue to join us for Season 2.
