En este episodio tratamos el tema del Dato en Automoción. Para ello charlamos con Alejandro Ruyra, el CEO de Madiva Soluciones. Se trata de una empresa especializada en analizar y procesar datos públicos y generar información valiosa. Usando técnicas de Big Data, modelos matemáticos y tratamiento basado en Ciencia de Datos, su objetivo es proveer información relevante para la toma de decisiones en función del caso de uso que se trate. Madiva Soluciones es una empresa que lleva varios años realizando un trabajo similar en el ámbito inmobiliario y que ha dado recientemente el paso al sector de automoción. En esta charla entre ambos sectores, desgranamos las similitudes y diferencias en el tipo de dato que se obtiene, en la problemática en el momento de interpretarlo. Es una conversación recomendable para profundizar en el campo del tratamiento de datos en el sector automoción, donde intuimos todos que hay recorrido pero que a veces no nos queda claro del todo de qué modo hay que usarlo para generar realmente valor.

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.

I mean I don't think there's anyone with a Canada connection that isn't a friendly warm gem of a talented person tbh.Find out on MADIVA Podcast how Zach works with his actors, those who are very very new to audio, and those seasoned pro's. There's some fantastic top tips here for voice actors AND producer directors, so...please feel free to pass it on....We talk about the difference between having one-to-one director actor sessions, and big group recordings in the same space....we talk the importance of adding reaction sounds to the record, showing presence in the scenes, and how actors being prepared is hugely important - your opinions and thoughts about the character are key to a fantastic productive recording session. Zachary also talk of directors 'bringing it' - feeding the lines with energy your actors...'otherwise they might as well just self direct', and why he likes to SEE his actors in a remote record session over available means, how different actors need different directing modes, doing live audio drama ON A STAGE AND SO MUCH MORE!(...and to be honest, there's a lot of Beth Eyre love in here too...)The Orphans mini season of comp winning authors works has very recently aired so do not delay and jump on and enjoy some original new writing encouraged by Zach and the team...Thanks so much to Zachary for all of this wondrous and helpful advice and, GO BINGE THE ORPHANS - All of it!
