Hey there, hero!

There’s a lot of value in having workable expertise, value in having expertise that’s exceptional, and it’s something I think most of us strive to acquire.

There’s also a lot of value in being dependable, being reliable, being a rock to others in your life…to show up, hit your mark and do the work.

If you had to choose one or the other (I’m sure we’d all like to strive for both, but…), which would you prefer?

I’d like to know your answer to the question posed in the title of this episode, and I’d love to know from two perspectives if you would (in the comments below):

1) Which do you value in others? What would you choose in your peers if you had to make a choice?

2) Which do you strive for in yourself? What would you choose to be more proficient in (knowledge or reliability) if you had to make a choice?

Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Space mathematician Katherine Johnson said, about the new strategies, tactics and calculation being created for the moon landing, “There were no textbooks, so we had to write one.”

Ever faced something brand new in your acting, voice work or writing? It’s not like working in a factory doing repetitive activities that have a long history of experience.

There are very few “explainer videos” available on the things we create for our characters, our actions and our explanations. We, more often than not, have to create things from scratch.

That’s a pretty cool thing: creating the manual - the textbook - for something you’re creating from scratch as a talent.

Does it excite you to create the approach to something that’s brand new? Or does it give you the willies? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

You’ve met people in our business who’ve been trained to say yes to everything.

When asked what they are best at, they never say never. They say yes to anything. They can play any role, voice any character, write in any genre…each with world class capabilities.

Yeah. Don’t be that guy.

But…are you being honest with others and yourself as to what you truly are capable of doing, or are you shorting yourself and “playing small” with your actual skill set?

Does a self-effacing tendency get in the way of being true to your talents? Let me know in the comments below.
