Beginner Acting Classes | Will They Make You A Better Podcaster?
About this episode
Juan's been doing some acting classes, do we have a superstar in the works?
In Episode #363 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Juan's experience at his 1st acting class, how we could potentially be more entertaining, why actors might be either fake or crazy, my experiences doing extras work and doing it shit, why your are better off practicing the thing you want to get better at and why we will be authentic and not acting as characters.
A huge thanks to Dave Jones, ChrisLAS and McIntosh for supporting the show! Boostagrams are the way of the future.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
