Hello All!WELCOME TO THE MADIVA EP WHERE LAYLA TALKS ALL THINGS LIVE RECORDING IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE AND STUDIO RECORDING ADVENTURES!What a crazy journey this audio has had - it was recorded last year when things were...so different...and I felt like it was a therapeutic thing to release right now, to reminisce about the live shows nostalgia with Layla Katib, and also to incite you to revisit or make your inaugural listen to one of THE BEST INDIE FICTION SHOWS to come out of the UK in the last few years - VICTORIOCITY (links below). Layla Katib is one of the loveliest, and talented of folks (hire her, employ her, give her ALLA DA JOBS PEOPLES!) and spoke to me about her Victoriocity journey from audition to live shows and studio recording. There's some great tips here for when we can all revel in the fun and atmosphere of live shows (WE WILL AGAIN, I KNOW IT) and I hope it compels you to start to plan your own! I for one enjoyed muchly watching, and being in some live shows - the Dashingly Quirky event of 2019 (as yet unreleased) with Layla herself being OUTSTANDING! (Alongside Karim Kronfli, James Oliva, Fiona Thraille, Maxamillion John and mmmoooore! So yes, this interview was glorious fun, and has not been released until now because the audio quality took a while to get to this....so...I have a small victory in that you can hear it, but hey, the quality may occasionally go wibbly woooo.Thank you so much for listening and to my amazing Patreon supporters, who spur me on ALLLLLL THE TIME to keep making this groovy thang. If you would like to help me decide what else to do for 2021, please add your pennorth to this Quirky Voices 20 second survey!

Hellooo - hearty happy welcome's to this episode of MADIVA on encouraging gender inclusive casting calls, with the blooming lovely, warm and brilliant....EVAN TESS!We kinda look at soo many things INCLUDING: Whatis Hope punk?What does Non Binary mean?? How can you make casting calls more inclusive to non binary folks and more>?OH, and we even hear the birdsong of Caesar the Cockatiel - what's not to like peoples!?THESE QUESTIONS, birdsong, AND MORRRRE are explored gently, peacefully and with care in conversation with the brilliant and groovy Evan Tess.During this interview, I'd love you to have an open minded thought-filled listen, and think about perhaps changing some of your (possibly life experience entrenched) gendered language to be more inclusive of non binary folks in general life and casting calls....and as a VA not to apply for roles if the descriptor does not apply to you, and as a writer, producer and creative think a little more deeply about who can play your wonderous characters because, being honest, it is not hard to do, and will mean such a lot to those gentle beings who identify as such.Evan talks eruditely on top tips for positive and inclusive terminology to use in your acting calls to make it truly accessible to all. They suggested:'We practice gender inclusive casting; please read for any roles that are appropriate for you regardless of the outcry of your voice.' AS A SUPERB STARTING POINT for inclusivity. Copy it, paste and or edit in your own words. Ah gwan!Thanks so much to Evan for taking the time to join me, and I hope what was said is hugely useful and informative to those not already in the know!
