S7, EP 205Meet Your Actor Series - Danielle Verayo Meet Dani (Danielle) Verayo is a queer Canadian actress, dancer, and singer who made CBBC history playing one of the network's first queer characters on The Next Step. She's been in the performing arts world basically her whole life, starting dance at four years old in ballet, tap, and jazz.Her path hasn't been the typical studio-to-industry route. When that chapter ended, Dani pivoted — hard. She's been self-training in hip hop and other styles since 2014, working two jobs at 16 just to keep going, and studying Dance, Drama, and Music Theatre at a performing arts high school. Since then, she's performed at the Stratford Festival and appeared on shows like The Hardy Boys, Overcompensating, and as a dancer on Ginny & Georgia.This episode really shows that there's no single “right” path — things shift, plans change, and if you're willing to adapt, you can still build something that's yours.IG - https://www.instagram.com/daniverayo/?hl=enTT - https://www.tiktok.com/@daniverayoooThis is a shareable podcast where a group of creatives join together to document their creative voiceover & on-camera journeys in real time.

Either way, we are glad you are here. Oh, and we also pull into our conversations at the chaos table industry professionals along with other fellow actors, to share their stories, experiences and knowledge - so we can all connect, share, learn, grow and expand together.

How many Slack conversations have you had that have been life-changing? If you answered anything other than “zero”, you are a liar. OR you are a member of the team that made the game we're talking about on this podcast. We're going back to 2019 to look at a stealth-puzzle game that became a phenomenon. We're talking Untitled Goose Game.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we take a look at developer House House's confusion around why people didn't like the bird made up of two colours. We also discuss the use of sandbox on the physical box; three minutes of gameplay that put the game on people's radars; and celebrities like Mark Hoppus, Chrissy Teigen, Kyle MacLachlan and Beaker.Here are some of the things you're gonna hear us chat about in our review: being seen on purpose to manipulate and misdirect villagers; too many opportunities to brute force; HONKING; taking a corner like a car; a slapstick, warm Hitman; a stellar Hyacinth Bucket impression; maintaining eye contact; lineless, pastel CBBC characters; a reactive silent movie-like (also Breath of the Wild) piano; the weight of the waddle; grabbing things in your gob because you don't have hands; gliding along the water; a gorgeous and also sometimes ambiguous to-do list; a bin toothbrush; getting on TV; model villages; walking with a bell in your mouth; the post-game; and being a horrible goose.After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Untitled Goose Game is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting Alien: Isolation on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS
