Very well done, love hearing a unique perspective from the actors. Peter does a great job interviewing and I love that he really lets the guest talk and tell their story. Keep it up!
This podcast is fuel for actors. In depth long form conversation about the ins and outs of the art form. Each guest brings their unique approach and perspective to the table as Peter Rinaldi expertly guides them toward the unraveling of the mysterious work they do. Dive into the archive and explore what it is actors do to bring about their best work.
Really delves into each interviewed actor’s unique ideas, experiences, approaches and aspects of building a character + world for themselves either on stage or on screen.
I discovered this podcast a couple of months ago and I am so glad I did. I’ve gone through and started listening from the oldest episode available and making my way to the newest episodes that are released. As an “early-stage” actor myself, I really enjoy the structure and approach this podcast takes with asking each actor about how they first begin to approach a script and then allowing them to tell some of their story. I also love how the host pushes each guest to authentically answer these questions. This is more than just a “woo woo” inspiration type of podcast (though those are valuable too!) this is one that has helped me more fully understand just how many different approaches one can have to acting. But at the end of the day all the actors seem to allude to the benefit of continually learning and being curious. Thanks for this!
Unfortunately I found some of the questions and the attitude of the interviewer condescending towards the subjects being interviewed and totally unnecessary when it comes to exploring the craft of acting. I just listened to the episode with Marianne Jean-Baptiste and I honestly couldn’t believe some of the backward questions she received. I couldn’t finish the episode.
