    Episode 44 - Starting Out In Voiceover (Marc Fajardo & Ryan Garcia)
    Let's talk about getting started in voiceover. There's almost too much information out there, the equipment factor is daunting, and where to begin feels difficult to pin down. This week I welcome to great actors to share their early experiences navigating this new part of their careers. 3:36 - MARC FAJARDO (The Outsider, The Hate U Give) started looking into VO at the start of Covid-19. He went down the research rabbit hole and is here to share what he learned. 27:15 - RYAN GARCIA (Community, Royalties, Big Nate)started in VO about ~18 months ago. He's built a home studio, secured representation, and booked his first animated series regular. 58:36 - I share my own VO story along with a lot of the main advice I share when people ask me about starting out.

    41. Teddy Sears
    The amazing TEDDY SEARS (The Politician, The Flash) is on the podcast this week. Teddy is a phenomenal actor who has done it all - soaps, superhero shows, prestige cable, you name it. We dive into all of it and revisit one of my favorite segments: bad audition stories! Teddy and his wife also had Covid and talked about their experience with that horrific illness. We spend the first bit of time talking about current events including Covid, Black Lives Matter, and the responsibility of using the platform you have. If you want to skip straight to acting talk and fun Hollywood stories, start at the 32 minute mark. We reference the latest proposal from SAG/DGA/WGA in the interview.
