Hey there, hero!

Feel free to wake up every morning and give yourself a break. You are fallible.

Don't assume that with experience, even a great amount, comes perfection.

Even if you have years of mastery, you can still make a simple mistake.

And it doesn't mean anything other than you're a human being.

You're going to make mistakes. Forever. Learn to take them on as teachable moments.

How do you treat yourself when you make a mistake you don't think you should have made? Let me know in the comments below.

This episode is a simple reminder that some data is visible, and some data is hidden.

You likely know who your haters are - and you might not know how many people love you.

Is this something you might be missing on a fairly regular basis? The people who love you for who you are, as opposed to those who don't? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

I'm now subscribed to two newsletters I cannot quit.

One is from James Clear, and the other is from Mark Manson.

Mark is the one that can't stop using the F word in his book titles.

But that bit of profanity can distract you from the power of his writing. And in particular, the writing in his weekly newsletter.

In a recent edition, he talked about what we can and cannot change. And it's worth talking about.

Ever struggle with trying to change something that you simply can't? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

We get comfy when we have a pattern to look at: we create a life for ourselves, we get into a habit, we get systems in place and we think that's it.

It's never going to change. What we have now is what we will always have, good and bad.

But is that really true?

Does what we have now somehow predict what we'll have in the future? Is what we have now all we can expect for the future?

Absolutely not. Think about the completely random nature of our business. And how we are training to get better, working on new things.

I'm in the midst of a project right now that I didn't see coming.

And that can happen to you...at any crazy moment.

Hey there, hero!

Had a great time on the VOBB (VO Booth Besties) with Jen, Jen and Aleesha:

https://www.boothbesties.com/

...and I had the chance to answer some questions from the attending audience of VO talent.

One question that came up was "How do you keep all the voices you create for the characters in an audiobook straight? How do you avoid using the wrong voice for a character by mistake?"

Great questions, and one that has a number of different possible answers. Let's explore exactly how to do that - especially as an actor (or writer).

How do you keep everyone straight? Is this a challenge for you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

One of the most satisfying things that can happen to us is that all goes according to plan.

That you set up a process, and you follow the path, you execute the steps, and it works out perfectly.

But ask yourself: how often does that really happen? Not very often, if at all, I would think.

It's really difficult, given all the variables in life, and especially in the performing arts, to set everything up to occur on a particular date and time. And that can be really frustrating, as there are bills to pay and obligations to meet that other people seem to put on the calendar for us.

A quick mindset shift for you in this episode: how to be at peace with not having your successes (or failures) timed out to a particular moment, and how to prepare for the ups and the downs.

Can you find joy in the random nature of the timing of your results, good or bad? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

This episode is for you if you feel like you missed the boat. That you're too old to be the artist you want to be. So...

We tell ourselves the stories we hear from others.

It's convenient and reliable.

Sometimes.

But sometimes, the stories we tell ourselves are different from the conventional wisdom. And it's actually all a choice. It depends on how much you want it.

If you want to switch up what you're doing in life...you can. Really.

And you actually have an advantage to switch things up. I'll tell you what that is, boomer (or GenXer) in this episode - I think you might welcome the option I present.

Are you thinking it's too late for you? Or do you have the resolve to ignore that easy assumption? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

The little moments in life when we do what we do as performers...record an audition, narrate a chapter in an audiobook, self-tape an on-camera audition...they are juicy, aren't they?

I'm wondering what goes through your head, just as you're about to start.

To take that "blank page" and add content to it.

To change it from nothing to something.

Do you have doubts? Are you supremely confident? Something in between?

Do you even notice that moment anymore?

I wonder how that on-the-brink moment hits you these days. Let me know in the comments below.
