Podcasts about Macintosh

Simplicity, sophistication, oversimplification, and At Ease. I rant about the usability of modern Apple software, Steven Levy rants about the oversimplified environment provided by At Ease and the complexity of the Mac, and Josef Morell rants about the damage At Ease does to first impressions of the Macintosh in retail channels. Original text by Steven Levy, Macworld December 1992 and Josef Morell, MacFormat March 1995. datagubbe.se laments the usability of modern desktop computer software. Product manager for At Ease Dave Pakman demonstrates At Ease for a user group in ~1992. Bruce Tognazzini on the user-centered design philosophy of the Macintosh. R.I.P. (The philosophy, not Bruce.) Thanks as always to the Unofficial Apple VHS Archive for both of these. Phrases I never expected to learn while producing a computer history podcast: “spoiling the ship for a hap'orth of tar” (pronunciation). You definitely need to install the Talking Moose on your old Mac right now and/or Uli's Moose on your Mac OS X 10.1-10.7 machines.

Ancient Greek and Roman drama has influenced theatre for millennia, and playwrights and other artists from around the world continue to draw inspiration from these works. Professor Fiona Macintosh joins us to talk about the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama at Oxford University and how it's been a resource for those who want to learn more about how these works have been - and continue to be - performed.

"It is easy to forget that, when he was a student, the man who brought us the Macintosh, iPhone and iPad (and, with his little finger, Pixar) collected bottle caps to make ends meet. The need to stretch every nickel informed the way Apple was run during the early days." In 2015, Mike Moritz wrote an opinion piece for The Financial Times called "Imitators take note — Steve Jobs was more than a showman." It's a great reminder that the best businesses — including Apple — are the most capital efficient businesses. That what matters isn't how much you raise, but the business you build with what you raise. And that even Apple, started out life being incredibly cheap and capital efficient. Being frugal and stretching every nickel ensures that your business is as durable as possible. While revenue will always ebb and flow, expenses are typically subject to inertia. Expenses tend to build up invisibly, almost imperceptibly, and can require heroic acts to shrink. While is why it's so important to build a culture of frugality from Day One — ensuring that as many dollars spent as possible go toward strategic expenses that sustain and grow your business.

The Reality Distortion Field. Guy "Bud" Tribble was Vice President of Software Technology at Apple Inc. As Apple was developing the first Macintosh computer in 1981, Bud used the term to describe Apple's founder Steve Jobs. The term seems to have originated in a 1966 episode of Star Trek when it was used to describe how the aliens encountered by the crew of the starship Enterprise created their own new world through mental force. It seems the great thinkers who are doers, like Steve Jobs, embrace (and enjoy) living in the reality distortion field of their own making. That is, they see things the rest of us don't. Vivid imagination coupled with obsession drive produces the likes of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. Is it distortion though? It is when compared to the current state. Coupling the term "reality" to it makes it seem as though it's delusion. Something that's inaccurate, or unreal. Not true to the reality. Like a photograph that's distorted. Or the lenses in a pair of mis-prescribed glasses. The achievements of self-driven maniacs to build great things, or to solve complex problems don't seem to the result of delusion though. Rather, they seem to be imagined by people capable of seeing what the rest of us can't. Yet. “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.”   ― Aristotle The madness is subjective. What appears as madness to one feels ordinary to another. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”   ― George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman I think that term better conveys the truth, unreasonable. It's less of a reality distortion field and more of an unreasonable - or beyond current reasoning - view of what is possible. It's a reality bending field where the unreasonable man adapts or bends the current reality into a new, improved future reality. Then continues to do it over and over again. Apple is introducing the iPhone 15. I'm currently producing today's show on a 2023 Apple MacBook Pro. Nevermind that just this week Apple introduced some brand new MacBook Pro models. In 1984 I purchased the first Apple Macintosh computer. That was then. This is now. Not even Steve Jobs, in 2011 at the time of his death, could have imagined the current technology. Had he lived, he most certainly would have figured it out though - and who knows what bigger, better products may have emerged under the Apple brand name? Steve Jobs died 12 years ago (October 5, 2011). Who knows what he may have imagined? Or what things he may have seen as persisted in trying to bend the present technology to fit his vision? It's what unreasonable men do. Mostly, unreasonable people find a way, not an excuse. We embrace different degrees and characteristics of unreasonableness as we navigate the various chapters of our life. “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”  ― T.S. Eliot How unreasonable are you? And in what ways - or about what things - are you unreasonable? Are they positive or destructive? Some of the titans of innovation have been so focused on what they see and what they want that others around them pay a high price. Sometimes, it's a price willingly paid. For example there are stories of high level employees of Apple and other high-performing companies where they burned out due to the intensity, pressure and elevated expectations. Opting for employment elsewhere, some experience boredom though because the pace is slower, the expectations lower and the strain much less difficult. In the absence of those things that burned them out they realized there was a void in their daily joy so they returned back to the company from which they resigned. Is that unreasonableness positive or destructive? Maybe both. There are other stories of these mono-maniacs on a mission (Tom Peters coined that phrase in "In Search of Excellence") who...

It's time for a new spin around the world of documentaries, and we're starting things off with a certified gem that David brings from his “important film” days. In 1966, door-to-door sales were almost completely dead, but that didn't stop Albert and David Maysles from centering their first-ever film on the subject. Their documentary was honed and crafted from 100 hours of footage and four men giving their best pitches for the Greatest Book Ever Written, and completely self-distributed. But the final result is one of the most incisive, thoughtful and honest portrayals of hustle committed to film, and a true breakthrough for documentary filmmaking.

Nick and Joel didn't mean to record an episode, but their impromptu microphone test was going so well that they decided to turn it into an episode!

Oops, Freddy wasn't really dead after the final nightmare. But as Wes Craven makes abundantly clear in this film, horror legends never really go away, they always stick around. Wes' work in this film is admirable, and it's some of the best storytelling in the series. Yet watching you can't help but think about the meta-horror classic that Wes would bring to us just two years later, a film that redefined the genre. Everyone here is doing admirable work and “sending off “ Freddy in style, but there's a lot of missed opportunities that could have made this a sure-fire horror masterpiece.

Zu diesem Spiel muss man nicht viel sagen: Sid Meier's Civilization erschien 1991 bei Microprose und nahm, nach zögerlichem Verkaufsstart, die PC-Welt im Sturm. Es erweckte das Strategiegenre, half, den PC als Spieleplattform zu etablieren und legte den Grundstein für eine lang laufende Serie. Christian und Gunnar reisen für euch durch die Jahrtausende, viel Spaß beim Hören! Hinweis: Die heutige Folge enthält Auszüge aus einem englischsprachigen Interview mit Bruce Shelley, das Chris geführt hat - in dieser Fassung hier auf der Seite und im offenen Feed sind sie deutsch nachvertont. Es gibt aber eine alternative Version, in der wir Shelleys Aussagen im originalen Englisch belassen haben, je nachdem, was euch besser gefällt, solltet ihr also die OT-Version (https://www.patreon.com/posts/91875040) oder die im offenen Feed hören.

Steve Jobs made an incredible impact on the world by creating two of today's most important companies in Apple and Pixar. Both companies created world-changing products while Steve Jobs was alive in the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and Oscar winning animated films such as Toy Story. More importantly, both companies developed the right team, vision, and culture to continue producing world-shaping products decades later — long after Steve's departure. As we learn in this book, Steve's values and ethos live on in both of these incredible companies.

Did you know that approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States experiences mental illness in a given year? That's a staggering 46.6 million people.National Institute of Mental Health, "Mental Illness." NIMH, website. What if you could significantly lower your risk of being part of that statistic with something as simple as building and maintaining muscle? A growing body of evidence suggests that strong muscles are vital for physical health and equally important for a healthy mind. Building muscle makes you feel happier, more focused, and less stressed. This article will uncover the science and physiology behind the fascinating and often overlooked connection between muscle health and mental health. Grab a protein shake, and let's dive into one of the most underappreciated aspects of holistic health: the muscle-mental health connection. The Biology of Muscles: A Brief Overview Muscles are biological machines—crafted from bundles of fibers, fueled by the foods you eat, and controlled by the impulses of your nervous system. But don't mistake them as mere pulleys that help you lift, push, or pull. Muscles are complex structures with roles that go far beyond everyday movement. Muscles are made up of specialized cells known as muscle fibers. These fibers are bundled in fascicles, which are then grouped together to form the muscle tissue you can see and feel. Each fiber is a powerhouse in itself, packed with tiny protein filaments that contract and expand to create movement.MacIntosh, B. R., Gardiner, P. F., & McComas, A. J. (2006). Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function. Human Kinetics. Functions Beyond Movement Apart from aiding in movement, muscles serve other critical functions. They act as metabolic factories, helping to regulate blood sugar levels. They store essential nutrients like glycogen for quick energy. Some muscles even produce hormones that communicate with other parts of the body. For example, myokines are compounds released by muscles during exercise, which have various beneficial effects on the body, including anti-inflammatory properties.Pedersen, B. K., & Febbraio, M. A. (2008). Muscle as an endocrine organ: Focus on muscle-derived interleukin-6. Physiological Reviews, 88(4), 1379-1406. Understanding this multifaceted role of muscles sets the stage for grasping their influence on mental health. It's not just about being able to bench press your body weight or sprint faster; it's about the symbiotic relationship between muscle health and your brain. Muscles, Neurotransmitters, and Hormones: A Partnership You've probably heard the phrase "endorphins make you happy." While it's a catchy saying, the truth is far more complex and captivating. Muscles, when exercised, do far more than release endorphins. They kick-start a biochemical cascade that influences various hormones and neurotransmitters, ultimately playing a crucial role in your mental state. Exercise and Neurotransmitter Production When you engage in physical activity, especially strength training, your muscles work hard, and in response, your body releases a medley of chemical compounds. Apart from endorphins, which serve as natural painkillers and mood elevators, other neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin get a boost.Chaouloff, F. (1989). Physical exercise and brain monoamines: A review. Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 137(1), 1-13. They regulate mood, help with focus, and are instrumental in feeling pleasure. Dopamine is often associated with pleasure and reward, making you feel good when you achieve a goal, like hitting a new PR (personal record). Conversely, serotonin is crucial for mood regulation and has a calming, anxiety-reducing effect. A balance between these hormones is essential for mental well-being. What's fascinating is how muscle activity, especially resistance training, has been shown to improve neurotransmitter balance in a way that enhances mental health.Strickland, J. C., & Smith, M. A.

You don't usually expect the worst film of a horror franchise to be followed with one of the most unique entries, but Freddy Knife Hands is a fickle series of movies. It's a stretch to call this movie “good,” but it's one of the most visually interesting and cohesive entries since the original 1984 film. Stephen Hopkins has truly interesting, fascinating ideas of body horror and trauma along with some of the biggest stakes we've seen so far for Freddy himself. Alas, someone forgot to tell the writers that's what we were doing, because the dialogue and the story wholesale misses the part of the story that would really make this movie great, and instead we're left to wonder what might have been.

You never expect 80's horror movies to be quality cinema. But you do expect there to be some wild, ridiculous stuff that also has enough of an edge to be scary and terrifying. With the 4th installment of Freddy Knife Hands, the writers decided that none of this was necessary. No, instead we kill off the remaining Dream Warriors and tag along with a new heroine who literally does nothing. And we mean that literally - nothing happens in this movie until about the last 10 minutes, except for some intensely goofy Freddy murders and some terrible 80s acting. No, this one is truly dire, and the only hope is they can make it weird again before the end of this series.

Wes Craven didn't think Freddy Krueger could be a legitimate franchise character. And then the sequel basically printed money, and Wes thought it might be a good idea to jump back in the fray. This time, though, he and his co-writers returned back to the dream world, and Freddy comes for Nancy and a crew of new kids who discover, maybe, the path to destroy Freddy once and for all. No, the acting hasn't gotten any better, and no, the dialogue is still way too on the nose. But this is a real promising return to form for the franchise, and introduces a ton of new ideas for a great horror villain.

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of murder, serial killers, gore, blood, child killers, death, homophobia, trauma.. When we watched the original Nightmare on Elm Street for the show, we were only in our 2nd season and were still relative horror newbies. But it's finally time to explore the entire Fred Krueger canon, and this week we start with a film that has no right to be as interesting and good as it is. The acting still isn't great, the dialogue is atrocious, and the producer made the entire process a nightmare for everyone involved. But the intentional undercurrents of homoeroticism coupled with a totally different take on Freddy's abilities makes this a fun but flawed entry in the canon.

SEGUNDA-FEIRA, 18 DE SETEMBRO DE 2023. EU SOU LEO LOPES E ESTE É O CASTNEWS, O PODCAST SEMANAL DE NOTÍCIAS PARA PODCASTERS. AQUI VOCÊ OUVE, TODA SEGUNDA-FEIRA PELA MANHÃ, UM RESUMO DAS PRINCIPAIS NOTÍCIAS SOBRE O MERCADO DE PODCAST NO BRASIL E NO MUNDO. Escalada O aumento de 7% no número de downloads globais de podcast em agosto, os resultados de um estudo sobre a influência dos podcasts na vida de empresários e a adaptação de um podcast brasileiro de True Crime para o idioma alemão estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta 33ª edição do Castnews! NOTÍCIAS 1 – E a gente começa a edição de hoje com notícia boa: segundo o levantamento mensal da Podtrac, o número de downloads globais de podcasts aumentou 7% em agosto. Esse é um aumento estável, se a gente comparar com o mesmo período de 2022. Nos Estados Unidos, a empresa iHeartPodcasts lidera o ranking das maiores publicadoras de podcasts, seguida pela Wondery (da Amazon), a NPR, o New York Times e o NBC News. Outro dado levantado pela Podtrac foi qual o principal podcast dos Estados Unidos no mês de agosto, e que foi calculado através da audiência mensal dos programas. O The Daily, do New York Times, ficou em primeiro lugar – mantendo a posição que já tinha em julho. Todos os outros dados levantados pela Podtrac foram traduzidos e estão disponíveis na íntegra lá no portal do Castnews, em castnews.com.br . 2 – De acordo com uma pesquisa da Headliner, mais de 48% dos podcasters gastam menos de 1 hora promovendo os seus podcasts. A pesquisa conversou com 200 participantes, dos quais 65% têm podcasts com 1 a 6 anos de existência. O gasto médio de tempo de produção dos episódios desses criadores de conteúdo, é de 13 horas no total. As fases da produção de um episódio geram sentimentos diferentes nos produtores: a parte preferida dos podcasters tende a ser a criação de pauta. O segundo lugar ficou com a edição, e a promoção dos podcasts é a parte que menos recebe atenção no projeto. Você também faz parte do time que passa muito mais tempo criando o conteúdo do que promovendo seu podcast? Talvez seja uma boa ideia repensar essa estratégia… 3 – O Alitu, um aplicativo web desenvolvido pelo The Podcast Host, lançou o Alitu Showplanner, uma ferramenta de inteligência artificial feita para auxiliar podcasters com a criação de seus podcasts. O Showplanner gera um plano de ação completo, desde a ideia inicial até o lançamento do podcast, em questão de minutos. Os usuários respondem a perguntas sobre sua ideia de podcast e recebem feedback, juntamente com um plano detalhado que inclui proposta de podcast, ideias para os primeiros episódios, formato sugerido, perfil do público e sugestões para tornar o podcast único. Esse é um dos sistemas de inteligência artificial mais poderosos criados até agora com foco em podcasting. Será que vale a pena usar o Showplanner? Será que ele não “mata” um pouco a criatividade do processo? Comenta o que você acha sobre isso nas nossas redes sociais, que a gente quer saber. AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 4 – Um estudo realizado pela Lower Street e a ContentFX descobriu que os podcasts têm um grande impacto entre os empresários e líderes de negócios nos Estados Unidos e no Reino Unido. Cerca de 43% dos empresários estadunidenses consideram os podcasts como sua principal fonte de informações, e 55% dos donos de negócios ouvem podcasts todos os dias. Esse público empresarial é atraído pelos podcasts porque eles entregam conteúdo consistente, além de ter mesas redondas e bate papos sobre temas que são interessantes para os ouvintes. E as marcas que são mencionadas em podcasts que apelam pro ouvinte executivo também são mais bem aceitas e mais lembradas – mas essa parte a gente já sabia. 5 – E a plataforma Riverside, de áudios e vídeos, agora permite aos usuários adicionar e personalizar legendas em seus vídeos pras redes sociais. A transcrição é feita em mais de 100 idiomas, são várias opções de fontes e cores para as legendas, assim os criadores podem manter a identidade visual do conteúdo. As legendas são cada vez mais essenciais, porque além de deixar o conteúdo mais acessível pra pessoas com deficiência auditiva, cerca de 75% das pessoas assistem a vídeos sem som, e as legendas aumentam a compreensão em mais de 50%. As legendas personalizáveis já estão disponíveis no site da Riverside. 6 – Uma pesquisa da Rephonic revelou que o gênero de podcasts que mais gera receita de publicidade é o true crime. Quanto à receita por ouvinte, os podcasts sobre esportes levaram o título. Os podcasts de true crime, apesar de serem menos de 1% dos podcasts ativos nos Estados Unidos, contribuem com 7% da receita total de publicidade. Um problema que a gente já falou aqui, é que 40% de todos os anúncios da podosfera são centralizados em só 23% dos podcasts, então a monetização ainda é desigual. Ainda tem bastante espaço pras marcas melhorarem essa avaliação e gerarem leads em podcasts menores, que podem ser tão bons quanto os que já são mais conhecidos. E MAIS: 7 – A empresa Magellan AI lançou uma nova ferramenta que ajuda anunciantes a expandirem suas campanhas de anúncio em podcasts. Essa ferramenta, que é acessada através do painel da plataforma, permite que as campanhas sejam estendidas para podcasts que têm audiências parecidas com os podcasts nos quais a campanha já está sendo trabalhada. A Magellan AI planeja continuar otimizando as campanhas de áudio, classificando parcerias publicitárias com base na taxa de resposta de um programa pro outro. 8 – E ainda falando sobre publicidade em áudio, o Spotify Advertising compartilhou 7 perguntas que as marcas devem responder pra criar uma boa estratégia de marketing digital em áudio. A equipe do Castnews, é claro, juntou tudo numa matéria cheia de insights legais e muito úteis lá no nosso portal. Então se você tem uma marca ou um produto que quer promover em podcasts (o que é uma decisão muito acertada, diga-se de passagem), a gente vai te ajudar a lapidar essa ideia. Tira uns minutinhos depois que o episódio acabar pra ler a matéria, e você vai ver o seu produto ou marca serem promovidos com um público fortemente engajado. Lembrando que quem quiser anunciar aqui no Castnews também pode entrar em contato com a gente e brifar a ideia, sem compromisso… HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA:  9 – O pessoal do B9 anunciou na última semana uma nova temporada do podcast Guerras Comerciais, e os inimigos que protagonizam essa temporada são as empresas Apple e Microsoft. O Alê Garcia, que é a voz que apresenta o Guerras Comerciais, vai contar tudo sobre a história por trás da disputa tecnológica, desde o lançamento do Macintosh pela Apple e o desenvolvimento do software para Mac pela Microsoft. O podcast é um original da Wondery, que já faz sucesso no exterior desde 2018, e que fala sobre os embates e a rivalidade de grandes empresas, como Netflix x Blockbuster e Marvel x DC. Os novos episódios são lançados primeiro na Amazon Music, e depois em todas as principais plataformas de áudio. SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 10 – O Estadão lançou o videocast semanal “Dois Pontos”, apresentado por Roseann Kennedy, que sempre vai trazer dois convidados com opiniões contrárias, pra debater sobre temas da atualidade. No primeiro episódio, o debate foi sobre o libertarianismo e as eleições na Argentina, com a participação do ativista Raphaël Lima e do professor Arthur Barrionuevo. O projeto vai ser publicado toda semana em vídeo e áudio no Spotify e no canal do YouTube do Estadão. 11 – E a Podster, em parceria com a Acast, está lançando uma adaptação em alemão do podcast brasileiro “O Insólito.” A produção vai ser traduzida pela Podster, e distribuída e monetizada pela Acast. A primeira temporada d'O Insólito em alemão vai ter 12 episódios, com a possibilidade de mais episódios no futuro. Se você quiser saber mais sobre a adaptação, o Marcos Campos, criador dO Insólito, conversou um pouco com a equipe do Castnews na semana passada, sobre a empolgação pelo projeto e sobre como a produção evoluiu de conteúdo de vídeo para podcast. E que cada vez mais as produções brasileiras tenham a chance de serem ouvidas em vários idiomas, porque aqui no Brasil se faz podcasts muito bons e com muito capricho. 12 – E depois de cinco anos desde a primeira temporada, o podcast “The Osbournes” voltou na semana passada com uma segunda temporada de 20 episódios. O podcast apresenta vários temas que envolvem a família do músico Ozzy Osbourne, e também conta com a participação do músico Billy Morrison. O podcast aborda desde curiosidades do Black Sabbath, até supostas experiências da família Osbourne com alienígenas. O The Osbournes já tá disponível em todas as principais plataformas de áudio. RECOMENDAÇÃO NACIONAL:  13 – E a nossa recomendação nacional desta semana vai pra um podcast onde o medo encontra o riso no mundo do sobrenatural: é o Arrasta-me para o Podcast, apresentado pelo Guto e pelo Marcos. O podcast tem vários quadros, que falam desde teorias da conspiração e locais assombrados, até táticas de combate contra entidades – tudo isso desenvolvido com uma pitada de humor ácido, que é pro ouvinte ter medo, mas não tanto assim. O programa está disponível nas principais plataformas de podcast e é lançado toda quinta-feira à meia-noite. Então já assina o Arrasta-me para o Podcast no seu agregador preferido, e não deixa o sobrenatural te pegar desprevenido. E você sempre pode divulgar trabalhos e oportunidades dentro da indústria do podcast, aqui no Castnews. Sejam vagas remuneradas ou vagas de participação em projetos, manda pra gente no e-mail contato@castnews.com.br que elas vão ser publicadas na nossa newsletter, que é enviada duas vezes por semana: na quarta e na sexta-feira.

Anne and Lau recently held an Audition Demolition workshop which included a live callback and casting process. In this episode, the Bosses discuss the audition demolition and how it mirrors the casting process. They explain the importance of taking direction well, researching scripts, and approaching every piece of copy as an actor. During a live callback, don't forget to have fun and enjoy being in a room with other people. Anne and Lau also discuss the importance of feedback and how it can help aspiring voice actors hone their craft Finally, we examine some of the memorable people and performances that stood out. The Bosses finish by reminding listeners that our next Audition Demolition is coming up soon! Transcript 0:00:01 - Intro It's time to take your business to the next level, the boss level. These are the premier business owner strategies and successes being utilized by the industry's top talent today. Rock your business like a boss, a V-O boss. Now let's welcome your host, Anne Ganguzza.   0:00:19 - Anne Hey everyone, welcome to the V-O Boss podcast and the Boss Business Superpower series. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza, and I'm here with my bossy co-host, Lau Lapides. Hey Anne, how are you? I'm awesome, Lau. How are you Good? Fantastic, Lau. We had the most amazing audition demolition this past weekend.   0:00:45 - Lau Woohoo, it was super, super power.   0:00:49 - Anne Yeah, I think we should chat about it. Oh, let's go, I'm ready. Yeah, well, for those bosses who are unaware, we created a audition demolition workshop, which is very similar. We did it once before a Lau, but we added a couple of new twists to it and essentially it was to mimic the casting process, the audition process, and so people could enter and they could choose to get feedback or not. They could audition and get feedback, or audition and not get feedback through our Dropbox new application called Replay. Lau and I were selecting a short list after that and ultimately did not announce the short list until the live show, which was this past weekend. I think it was so exciting, Lau.   0:01:42 - Lau It was so fun, it was great. It took a while right. It took us time to get through it. It wasn't a quick deal. It took us. How long was the show, how long did it run?   0:01:52 - Anne A couple hours, it was a couple hours and we had 10 people that we called back, just like in a real audition I was talking Lau about. When I used to drive into LA I would get notice from my agent that said you've been called back and they want to hear you. I would drive oh God, I would drive into LA and go to the studio and I'd see a lot of times I'd see my voiceover friends there. It was kind of nice. It was like a big party. But yeah, we were still auditioning and so I was a little nervous. I think all of us had a little bit of nervous.   But we would be called in one by one to read a script and Lau, and I tried to mimic that as much as possible during our weekend, and so people were not aware if they were on the shortlist until they got to the live show and then we announced the shortlist one by one. It wasn't, we announced everybody on the shortlist at once. It basically like as if you were waiting in the studio lobby to be called into the studio to read, and so that's what we did. Everybody was surprised and we had 10 people that we shortlisted and we had them come in and guess what? The client changed the script. Now, we did that before, but that's typically what happens, right, you read an audition and then when you go in person to audition, they have a different script. That's almost always the case, I think, and so we changed the script on them, and I don't know Lau. What were your thoughts?   0:03:15 - Lau I thought it went really well. I mean surprising that I kind of thought to some degree many would fall apart with that and not know what was going on and there would be mass confusion and there would be fire and tornadoes and earthquakes. And Charlton Heston would come out of the booth and then we would be eating alive, right, and then the sea would part.   I was like, oh, what are we doing inviting this? But no, seriously. We had some faith in these wonderful talent, and rightly so. They all came through. Everyone came through, I think, with flying colors, and we did. We're good actors, ann. I mean, we made them sufficiently sweat a little bit as if you would in a real live audition. There was a little stress, little tension in the air. I know people were nervous because I saw conversations beforehand flying around on email and in the chat and I love that.   I think that that gave it that flavor of a real. You know it was a mock audition but it was a real audition feel, which is something we wanted to mirror for the professional development and education of it. Absolutely, that worked well. I thought that really worked well.   0:04:20 - Anne And I think that it's really good to get yourself practiced in a live situation where you're definitely feeling adrenaline, whether you're nervous in a good way or even a bad way, right, it really helps you to get seasoned and to figure out what you have to do to work out those nerves to really perform well, and I think that that was a good experience for everybody that participated.   And I feel that, by the way, and so what? We waited until the very beginning and we said guess what? The client changed the script and then we gave them the new script. So talent did not have a lot of time to prepare. As a matter of fact, I would say the first talent that we called up usually is the one at the disadvantage for this particular show, because typically we're not listening to each other audition. We're going in one by one and it's a private thing and we get private feedback. But this because we wanted this to be an educational experience. We had an entire Zoom room full of people who didn't know if they made the audition and were listening to the feedback live, real time from both Lau and myself, and so that will happen a lot of times.   Lau, right in a real situation, you'll have more than one person giving you feedback. You'll have an engineer in there, you'll have a director, you might have a client. You might have more than one person that's offering you direction at the time, and they could have different ideas about the direction. Now, I think Lau, you and I, we think fairly similarly, but there were some auditions where I wanted to hear something different than you did or feedback that we gave was absolutely, I think, different in different spots, but I think overall, we were sticking to the casting specs that were laid out there and that was very similar to a lot of casting specs. That is, make it authentic, make it real, make it, make it conversational. So that's always a task, I think, for talent, and when they're just seeing the script for the first time and even if we've been directing other people, they might be oh my God, they might be preparing. They might not have listened to our feedback, right?   0:06:24 - Lau Yes, yes, and that was the great part of having everyone in the room. That would not happen in an audition most of the time most anywhere but we wanted that educational experience. We wanted people to observe each other's work and get the benefit of everyone's feedback so that even if they were nervous in preparing, they could absorb some of what they were hearing before they went on. And I think that it was a blessing for people to kind of go later and it was also a blessing for people to go first.   0:06:55 - Anne Sure, oh, I agree.   0:06:55 - Lau Because it's a very different experience. I also wanted to bring up, too, our experience, ann, of when we were commenting in the Dropbox and doing all of our feedback, that I heard in the session from a number of people and post via email thanking us that they felt that the feedback was so wonderful, so detailed, so necessary and it was like a drink of nectar for a lot of people that said I'd like to think what you said was authentic and real and that it gave me time, it made me feel special, it made me feel like someone was paying attention to me, that status casting agency status, coaching status and that I could walk away with some real tools, practice tools to work on.   Absolutely. It wasn't just about am I good, am I bad?   0:07:46 - Anne am I right am?   0:07:46 - Lau I wrong. It was much more about reminding me that I have a full process here and I can go in many different directions, and I'd like to think that you and I gave as much authentic feedback as we could, rather than artificial feedback just for the sake of entertainment value.   0:08:03 - Anne Oh yeah, no, absolutely, and I'm going to say that I think that what I loved about it is that the educational component that came into it with the feedback and this is the feedback not just during the live show, this is the feedback via Dropbox. The really cool thing about Dropbox Replay and offering feedback there's a lot of times you'll notice that you submit your auditions via Dropbox and you always have to be careful how you name them and there's lots of criteria when you upload an audition. The cool thing about being able to offer feedback for all the people that requested it is that we were able to give feedback along a timeline, and so if there was a particular passage that they did well or a particular passage where they maybe lost their authenticity or we had a critique, we could specify it at the specific time that it happened, and that's something that you don't always get in a real audition. As a matter of fact, usually in an audition you'll go in and read, and it's very rare that they'll offer feedback. They might give you a set of directions to do it again and may not offer as much verbose feedback as we did during the session, and you're kind of left with.   Okay, I hope I did good. And so you know, I'm always walking out of the room going well, I think they liked me. I hope they liked me, I hope I nailed it. And a lot of times they will give some generic thank you so much. Sometimes they won't say a word, they'll just say okay, thank you, and you'll walk out that door going gosh, I hope I nailed it. Which is what I love about the audition demolition is that we were able to really go beyond that and really act as like okay, here's what we would offer you feedback for the educational component. And then, when we made our decision Lau this is what I loved we muted ourselves, because a lot of times we're there, live in the studio or we're in a Zoom session and we are being directed and then all of a sudden they're gonna mute and they're gonna talk and we can see them talking behind the glass and you're like okay, did they like that?   What are they talking about? And you know, maybe they're talking about lunch, we don't know. Maybe they're talking about my performance. Was it good, was it bad? Oh, my God, what are they gonna tell me next? And then they'll say okay, thank you, we're done. But I liked our mimicking of that.   0:10:14 - Lau And there was a funny moment, though you can't forget to share, that hilarious moment, where we had talked about giving each other a call, a cell phone call, so that we could have this sort of intercom system between the two of us in case we wanna bring up some details to each other or just remind each other about certain cues. I totally forgot, and it was about a quarter of the way through and I said oh wow, I get a call. And I called Ann and I said Ann, listen, because one person didn't show up. I said do you want to have another call back, since we have an open slot? And she's like Lau, everyone can hear you. Right now Can everyone hear Lau? And they're like, and I'm like, that's okay, they'll learn from it, it's great for them.   0:10:59 - Anne There you go, there you go, and here's the deal In a real situation, right? If you don't show up to that casting call, that's it. You snooze, you lose, you're out, and they may make a decision at the last minute to call more people, or they need to hear more people, or maybe they didn't get what they needed from the first audition. Gosh, that goes on all the time.   Right, Lau, they recast it because they didn't really get what they wanted. So we did that too which I love it through a wrench in it, because everybody that was shortlisted thought that was it. And then all of a sudden we had a discussion. We said we'd like to call back Actually, we were gonna call back two people, but we ended up calling back one other person, which again added that element of surprise which again hypes up the adrenaline and the nerves. And so I think again, this audition demolition Lau we can do this like regularly, because I think it's a skill that every voice artist should have in their toolbox to be able to be prepared on the fly, work through those nerves and just perform and get that gig and be able to take direction well, right, and no matter how we slice it, of course we're always about process or process oriented people.   0:12:14 - Lau But there is a product, there is a gig at stake and in this contest we had prizes, we had some cash.   0:12:22 - Anne We had cash.   0:12:22 - Lau We had cash we had cash, we had a going on. People were really fighting and cLauing for the real deal. It wasn't just oh, you won, congratulations. It was, let's actually reward you. Who is something real world that you can enjoy, right and people love that.   0:12:38 - Anne I think people love that. I mean, who doesn't love cash? Who doesn't love cash? I mean, that's just as you know, that's an investment in your business, right? So invest in the audition demolition and you can win cash and or swag, and so I'm extremely excited to have offered that.   0:12:54 - Lau I wanna ask what were some auditions that really stuck out for you and why did they stick out for you? I mean, even in the larger pool, not just the short list, but even in the larger pool there were so many unique people. Oh yeah, they were diverse talent very across the board. No two people were the same. What were some of the more memorable people and performances that your audience can learn from today?   0:13:18 - Anne Well, first and foremost, understanding that I'm going to be casting for a particular job and a particular company, which this happened to be University of Phoenix, I had a demographic in mind that I wanna advertise to and I had a sound in my head that I thought would be a good representative of this particular company or university that would be able to sell effectively.   And I think that every casting director has an idea in their head as to what kind of a voice they're looking for, which usually ends up in the specs. But sometimes they change their mind when somebody gets creative or maybe interprets the script in a little bit of a different way. And it was always those auditions that stood out to me, the ones that it wasn't like the song that I heard in my head. Right, we were asking for authentic, we were asking for conversational, and those people that could really come into the first few words, that sounded like they had a story, they had a person they were talking to, those were the ones that perked up my ears. And, of course, those that had a very different, a very different sound as well. I mean, I will say I mean I can't say that your sound doesn't come into play here, because, again, we're hiring people based upon how we think they're going to effectively sell our product. Right, what?   0:14:40 - Lau about you Lau? I would agree, and I made a concerted effort to come in with a very open mind and play the producer, who has not as much idea of what I'm actually looking for. I just know, I know the product, I know the school, I know the program, I've seen their advertising campaigns. I get that, yeah, but I want to keep an open mind because I'm not exactly sure which direction I want to go in. Yeah, age wise, diversity factor, accent wise and I'm glad I did that, because everyone was so different and so unique. I would have been let down only in the sense that I would have been looking for that needle in a haystack.   Oh, I was looking at the whole haystack and because we did that, our shortlist was so diverse.   0:15:27 - Anne Oh, it was no two people who are alike, right.   0:15:30 - Lau You'd say, was there even a breakdown involved with this, because they were so large?   0:15:33 - Anne and that's what's so cool. What I love about what you just said was I said okay, I had an idea in mind, right, I know the demographic, I know the product and I know the type of sound that I'm looking for and that's what I'm gonna put in the casting specs. However, you're absolutely right. By being open-minded and hearing a bunch of different voices, then I started to think, well, okay, for this campaign, I like this voice because of this factor. I like this voice because that's the one I originally thought would be a really great choice for selling. But now I can see that this other voice, which may not have been anywhere, like I thought right, would really be effective in helping to sell my product as a casting director.   So, yes, keeping it open-minded, understanding, guys, that even though the casting specs may call for something, right, if you bring something unique to the read, you bring yourself, you bring that personality, you bring something that just makes us go oh, okay, I didn't think about that.   It really is a wonderful testament to, literally, your voice. It could be any voice, right, it doesn't have to be a particular sound, doesn't have to be a particular style, it can be you, it can be what you bring to the read and that can sway a casting director's choice, which is amazing, right, it's wonderful, it's hopeful and it makes you feel like, alright, well then, I still am gonna give my best, right? Well, if you're looking at the casting spectrum, I don't know, I'm probably not gonna get it. I mean, no, don't feel that way at all, because we were surprised very, and actually even in our decisions, right, in terms of who were we going to cast when it came down to it. Right, we were going back and forth between a couple of different voices and I think that, well, let's keep these guys on hold or on call back, or who else would be great for this campaign. There were multiple choices.   0:17:19 - Lau Yeah, and I was playing tricks in my head saying, oh, I can't wait to see who's gonna win this thing, because I have no idea right now. Literally throughout the whole thing, I literally Could not figure out who is going to win and who is going to book the gate, and I think that's very true and very accurate to the casting process. Many times it comes right down to the wire when everyone is disagreeing on a talent or maybe they need to bring in another talent, and you and I did that.   0:17:46 - Anne We weren't necessarily it didn't bring but, we were going back and forth about.   0:17:50 - Anne We wanted to narrow it down, and it was tough for us to narrow down those choices because we each had our own Independent, we had our favorites and we had people that we thought were best suited for the campaign. I'm glad that we were able to. Obviously, we awarded the gig to one person and that's a congratulations to Joshua Goodman and then we awarded to runners up, because that was something that we thought you know we're gonna keep you on our shortlist for perhaps the next campaign and that was Pat Kennedy, was one of our alternates and gender Macintosh. So congratulations to everybody and really congratulations to everyone who auditioned. I mean, I was so impressed with the professionalism and the talent that we heard and I'm excited to do this again, and I'm excited about changing up the scripts, the genre right and changing up the scripts and having even more people audition for this. So I think it was a real success. I don't know what are you excited about for what's up next?   0:18:51 - Lau Well, I'll tell you one piece of excitement, and I don't like to say this at the top. It's what we call metatheatrical. It's a reality within a reality, within a reality, but the truth is, this was not a mock audition when I looked at this, and I'm sure you were thinking this too, in regards to recommending clients for projects that you're a part of. I am always looking for new talent. So there will be people that I'm going to reach out to for MCVO contracts.   0:19:20 - Anne We don't say that and I'll be referring people because it becomes a top of mind. I know who my talent are Top of mind, yeah, and I'll be casting for projects as well. While I'm not a talent agent like yourself, I do have a number of clients that I help cast for and I actually have a couple of rosters that I place people that I recommend I place them for jobs and so the truth is is like it's a mock audition for educational purposes.   0:19:47 - Lau but there's a subtext of reality that whenever you're in front of working people in the industry, they're always going to be thinking about you for potential work. How do you put someone like us in front of some of these people and say don't look at them for work, just look at them as a student? It's not possible, because they're working people, they're working professionals. So we want to give educational value, lots of educational value and development, but we also want to potentially find new people.   0:20:19 - Anne we could be working with Awesome talent. No question, let's there to lose for auditioning, right? So our next audition demolition and again. By the time this airs, it may have passed already, but I really think, talking about our experiences with the first one, I think it ran gosh. It ran smoother than I even thought, and so I'm really excited to continue this on a regular basis because I think it's just so educational and, as bosses, we're all about the education. I'm all about providing a great resource. That's what we do here at the VioBoss podcast, and we're here to help. We're here to hopefully give you some advice and tips along your journey in this crazy voiceover industry that we all love so much. And hey, what can I?   0:21:03 - Lau say I think it's fantastic and I want to be clear to those who have no idea what we're talking about and want to get involved with it that you're getting literally hours worth of feedback. Oh yeah, not just a quick. That was great and you're done. You're getting all the written feedback first Plus and our Dropbox Plus.   You're going to show up on the contest day in real time live and you're going to get all sorts of feedback. You're going to hear everyone else's feedback. You're going to get to observe and steal and absorb everyone else's. Then you'll get your own. So it's like double feedback, Endless feedback.   0:21:38 - Anne It's like double feedback. It's more than if you just go to one session, because you're getting much more written feedback from both Lau and myself, whether you make the shortlist or not, and during the class you're going to have the exposure to finding out. If you're on the shortlist and even if you don't make the shortlist, you get to watch the others perform and be redirected and get that education as well. So I mean, gosh, the value I'm just saying the value is incredible, guys.   0:22:08 - Lau It's massive, it's huge. I mean, I don't know any other circumstance that offers that kind of thing.   0:22:14 - Anne And who offers cash? Who offers? Cash as a prize and the amount of time that we're dealing with a compressed amount of time, right, right, you can win back your money plus some, win back your investment and some, and have fun doing it and be top of mind for those people that may be able to help cast you in further roles.   0:22:34 - Lau So and do you have a couple of quick tips? I love tips, couple of quick tips for the next round of talent. Who are like I have to do this, I got to get in on this or the round that just came through. I know a lot of them are already talking about coming back. They want to have another go of it, they want to be challenged again. Let's talk about quickly a couple of tips that we can offer them when they come back. Good idea, when they're coming in for the first time.   0:22:58 - Anne Well, I'm going to say, first and foremost, do your research on the script, do some analysis before you run into your studio and just read it as if you this is the way you think it should sound.   I really think you've got to spend a few moments and, if you can, google the product, google the company, find out like who their demographic is, find out if they've had other campaigns. Take a look at those campaigns. See what their style is, what their brand is, what their mission statement is, and I think all of that information can help you to voice for that company better. And also make sure that you are, after the analysis, that you really look at it as an actor and I know you're gonna probably expound on this one, but I want you to really look on that script as an actor. You're not gonna probably get a storyboard with it, and so you have to try to imagine what's happening in the scene, always know who you are and who you're talking to, and really put yourself in a scene so that you are authentically in it, telling a story where all storytellers right. We have to tell the story. We have to engage the listener into a believable, authentic performance and Lau. I'm sure you're gonna go off on that one, oh my gosh.   0:24:11 - Lau I second that. I third that I also don't want you to lose that fun factor, because there is a tremendous fun factor to not just voicing the copy but also being with people in a room. When you're with people in a room, I know it's scary, it's nerve-wracking, you don't know who everyone is, but I want you to enjoy, like, really relish the moment and have a little bit of personalization as you. So some of the time when you were giving a direction in, or we gave an adjustment or we were just greeting people, there were some people that stuck out in my mind as being very memorable because they had that mix of business acumen with warmth and fun, and they smiled a lot. There was one talent His teeth were so white I couldn't stop looking at them. He just smiled the whole time because we were visually in a room seeing each other.   We weren't just hearing each other audio wise, but all of that counts for something it does. Yeah, so that I know, okay, this talent knows how to smile on a lot of commercial reads. This person knows how to be a warm, engaging person. So if they're dealing with our clients, they're gonna be that way, like there's a lot of reasons.   0:25:20 - Anne Good points, excellent Right.   0:25:22 - Lau We have to enjoy. Let go be social a little bit, be personable. We're not gonna waste time, we're not getting into huge conversations. It's not a party, but it is a real time engagement of real people, and those people stick in my mind and relationships do matter.   0:25:39 - Anne I mean, it's one of those things that, like you said, it's not a party that you're gonna be talking the director's ear off, but you certainly have to have a little bit of a personality and have a little bit of joy and a little bit of definitely a lot of professionalism, but also let us see a little bit about who you are and that will help us to understand what you can bring to the table Absolutely, and that's within your interactions. When we're giving you direction and feedback, all of that comes out. So, yeah, good advice.   0:26:06 - Lau I'm gonna throw in another one and say it's really important to warm up. We wouldn't know for sure because we weren't asking this question, but I would suspect there were a few people who are not quite as warmed up as they could have been, mainly because they were stumbling a lot, they were going back on lines, they weren't breathing well, they were holding the breath, and I do think a lot of that is just nerves.   0:26:29 - Anne It could be nerves.   0:26:30 - Lau Yeah, real time, but take the time, even if it's an hour. Sit in your booth or take the time to stretch, drink water, breathe the air, go over your lines, feel them through, personalize them, so that it isn't just about getting the script right or I gotta get through this and sound good. It's about how do I feel you and I talked a lot about like the person that you're being and talking to is this real person? Even though it had a little bit of a corporate, boxy language to it, it's real. They're real people. So you gotta do that in your warmup. You have to incorporate that all in your warmup. You can't warm up or come in and you're colder and then you're warming up as you audition. I never recommend that. I think you should come in fully engaged full throttle, full throttle and get ready to go.   I think that that was the difference. That was one of the big differences between the people who are a little bit on a higher level and people who are coming into it, kind of feeling it out.   0:27:29 - Anne Yeah, yeah, and absolutely, when you're hearing direction and feedback as well, if you've got that pencil and you've got the script or your pad, your iPad, whatever it is to make some notes, cause I know, in the heat of the moment, sometimes, when you're getting direction and feedback and they ask for another read, sometimes they give a lot of things, okay, and then over here, I'd like you to lighten up here and who are you talking to and I feel like, if you needed to make some quick notes, make sure that you have the ability to do that. I love that, yeah.   0:27:59 - Lau I even say you know, with a prop. If you're dealing with a prop and you like a prop and a prop works for you, make it a prop that counts. Make it something that is meaningful to you. The first thing that came to my mind was if I'm dealing with the University of Phoenix read, and if you watch the advertising campaigns, traditionally they're pretty heartful. There's a warmth and a thoughtfulness to it. It would be great to have what the diploma looks like in front of you, or what a graduate looks like in front of you or what personally, so that you can see how meaningful that is to someone. That is going to change their whole life. That piece of paper is going to change their whole life potentially, and just bringing that in with you can change your whole delivery versus. Let me just get the first line right. Yeah, Absolutely.   0:28:43 - Anne You know what I mean Absolutely and, like I said, I think that research and maybe looking at other commercials that they've done or other work that they've put out there to their potential clients, yeah, absolutely, that can really make a difference.   0:28:55 - Speaker 1 So wow Good, I'm excited. I can't wait for the next one. I can't wait, bosses stay tuned.   0:29:02 - Anne We will have the next dates on the VO Boss website, vobosscom.

We're wrapping up our series with Spike's most recent joint, traveling to Vietnam for a cross between Apocalypse Now and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It's another bold swing in the new era of Spike, but yet again, the balance is all off. When this movie is working, it's a masterpiece, but there's so much of it that feels like a slog. And it's not because of anything fundamentally wrong with the story, just that there's far too much of it, and far too much pontificating on the story itself. For the cast alone, though, it's a shame this got buried in the COVID shutdown, because they deserve heaps of recognition.

Because it's a Spike Lee Joint adapted from one of the most important Greek comedies ever written, and it happens to be pretty hilarious at how good a job it does. The problem is when Spike and new collaborator Kevin Willmott stray from the source and take themselves a little too seriously with an incredibly silly premise. Especially for Greek drama and comedy, allowing the structure to play out without interruption is the only way to go. We discuss 2015's Chi-Raq this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven't Seen What?!
