Cathy Kalmenson on Voice Acting, Finding Talent and the State of AI
While I had the pleasure of lecturing to acting students at Cal State Northridge, I conducted an interactive exercise in which we passed around a cordless microphone to each person in the auditorium. They each gave their name and shared 3 natural personality characteristics describing themselves. This all happened in a matter of seconds for each person. There was one young man who came across naturally as the type we were auditioning that very same afternoon. Long story short, I invited this acting student to audition, and not only did he win the job, it grew into four national radio spots and it became his access via Taft-Hartley to join SAG-AFTRA! It launched his voice acting career. -- Variety

The Importance of Self-Care for Your Health
Self-care activities can be simple: reading a book, walking, meditating, giving yourself a long shower, or indulging in a hobby. Consider your interests, but also be aware of your available time and resources - you want to avoid planning over, then create the need for rushing, which can make you feel stressed.
