Acting Origin Stories, When AI Steals Your Voice, Table Read Tips, and Getting Cut from a Show | EP 1

The premiere episode of The Actor’s Guide to the End of the World! E-Kan and Rían dive into what you need to know about how two voice-over actors had their voices stolen by an AI start-up and insightful comments by the Emmy-winning co-creator of Hacks on the current state of TV. They tackle deep topics, like "Do you want to be right or happy?" or why it's so easy to be cynical. You will hear how they got into acting in the first place which in E-Kan's case, was pure rebellion. Also lessons learned from recent table reads, why you should always accept a compliment whether you believe them or not, and why you don't speak louder than the lead. And how it feels to get cut from a show.
