The Sprint sessions are so valuable and the energy of all of us showing up and working on projects is so motivating. "Come on in, the water is warm."
If you're not in the artist frame of mind you network.
No excuses. You want to say you're a writer you have to write. But if you're not in a writing state of mind get up and network. I network, with 10s of people daily. Actors, assistant directors....today I received a response from my all pro voice actor from Tokyo whose natural baritone is like Jim Morrison. His response to my email about his role as the protagonist voice actor, in the movie under production: Sounds like fun! I will have to pick up a new headset with a microphone because I'm in Hawaii and then Vegas for the rest of the month. Doable. I will send you what i can do and if it's good i will look at renting a studio for an hour or two. Sincerely in your service, ______________________________ Get out there. Present yourself.

@Liv Colorin thanks! So inspired by being in this group! Those words just landed in my soul, and I had to share them with Jason. That VO was making me miss Gregory Peck's voice in my head. 🥰
The diplomatic leader that puts the mission first:
Hi, friends and acquaintances. For those of you in similar roles, I have a situation as a leader. I've been a leader for as long as I can remember yet, I still have (those situations), that as my friend says: "refrain from having your talent on tenterhooks". I have two voice actors in mind. One of them I'm fairly certain is better than the other. The other one's wife I need to lock in as the female protagonist... I'd like to listen to both performances though. Question: How do I diplomatically say, "I'm not going to choose either of you until I examine your performances?"

Maybe "I have some tough choices to make and need just a little more time to finalize my next steps"? Just a thought to not piss anyone off, before you might have to piss someone off?
Tuesday and Friday Live Premium Coaching Calls
Let’s go, people! These premium calls are critical. In my opinion, they are a mixture of revealing the magic of our creativity and ideas that flourished out of the universe unexpectedly, but we caught them because we showed up to the page. The other side for me is it’s like triage. Something in my story is bleeding out, and the table read is where I identify it and get some solutions from the community and David Stem. As David has said, “A good table read doesn’t just improve dialogue — it reveals the *soul gaps* in the story.” Bring your pages and let David Stem and the community help work on your story. Please reach out to people to cast your pages in advance. It helps to keep the call moving. Here’s the link to where you put up your casting and your pages. Here’s the link for the Tuesday, April 7th Premium Coach Call. Here’s the link for the Friday, April 10th Premium Coach Call.

Looking forward to hearing what you bring to the table!
Today’s call
Thank you so much for everyone in the table read and notes - it’s really helped me on bits I was stuck on and you all helped me see so clearly. Bit of a weight lifted of the shoulders. I love these calls so much and meeting you all has been such a highlight! Thank you again. I am always so so grateful 🖤🥰 So much love 🖤
