POPULARITY
Send us a textWhat happens when you trade a boardroom for a black box theater and decide to start from scratch in your 50s? We sit down with actor and stand-up comic Sheri Gill Dixon for a fearless, funny, and deeply human conversation about falling in love with movies as a teenage usher threading reels, discovering Meisner training in Virginia Beach, and building a comedy voice that lives or dies by instant feedback. Sheri takes us behind the scenes of big sets like Tammy—where she held her boundaries without apology—and shares why watching Melissa McCarthy and Kathy Bates work reminded her that kindness and professionalism scale.The heart of this conversation lives on stage. Sheri breaks down how she moved from the safety of scripts to the risk of stand-up, why writing often happens mid-set, and how crowd work can surface sharper material than any quiet desk session. We talk influence and range—Joan Rivers and Moms Mabley opening doors; Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac, Dave Chappelle shaping storytelling; Seinfeld's polish and Miss Pat's punch; Thea Vidale's relatable grit—and how those threads weave into a voice that's unmistakably her own. We also get real about women in comedy: the scarcity baked into flyers, the myth of one chair, and how the Ladies of Comedy pack flips the script through collaboration, shared opportunities, and relentless support.Beyond the mic, Sheri opens up about motivation that isn't Instagram-ready. Working in transit surfaced daily inequities; the George Floyd era pushed her toward doctoral work and sharpened her belief that art can ease what policy cannot. Comedy becomes the pressure valve and the bridge: a room that laughs together, even for an hour, carries less weight home. We swap notes on good rooms and cold crowds, choosing where to spend your energy, and the quiet power of a stranger saying your set made their night worth the babysitter.If you're navigating a late start, eyeing a pivot from acting to stand-up, or building a creative crew that resists gatekeeping, this one's for you. Hit follow, share this with a friend who needs the nudge, and drop a review with the moment that stuck with you—what leap are you ready to take next?Support the show

When I receive a new script, my first step surprises people. I create an audio recording of every scene I'm in – not just my lines, but everyone's lines. Using apps like LineLearner, I record each cue line followed by my response, all delivered in completely monotone voice with zero inflection or emotion. This approach might make acting coaches cringe, but it connects directly to Sanford Meisner's teaching philosophy. Meisner had students rehearse lines in monotone specifically to prevent them from “setting” a line reading too early. The goal? When you're actually performing, you can react naturally to whatever happens in the moment and deliver your lines however feels right. But there's a deeper psychological reason this works so well.

It's not often that I'll get to introduce a guest whose moniker is “banana-brained and voice-trained”! But joining me today is a woman who is the embodiment of quirkiness, versatility, and her own words “a bit unhinged”. From clown noses to stage and to your favorite streaming platforms, Jo Yuan has covered a lot of ground...and that's saying something given she's been in the entertainment industry just shy of 6 years, and in voiceover for five of those years. She's made audiences laugh, cry while pondering social biases through the roles and characters she's played, whether it's in a packed house, on a TV set, or through your earbuds while narrating the Harper Collins' audiobook Counterattacks at Thirty. An Asian American actor of Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean heritage, Jo's career spans theatre, television, voiceover, and comedy, and brings authenticity, wit, and heart to every role. She's trained in the Meisner technique, on-camera acting, clown and sketch comedy to long-form improv, as a graduate of the now defunct Second City Conservatory, in Hollywood. Her stage work includes performances at East West Players, IAMA Theatre, Artists at Play, and as a company member of PlayGround-LA. As a voice actor, Jo's credits read like a streaming guide - with an impressive list of dubbing credits, lead and recurring roles on Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, and Amazon Prime and Nat Geo. In 2024, Jo was named one of 24 New Digital Audio Narrators by Macmillan Audio, selected from over 350 applicants. Jo is also a proud and active member of the Television Academy, the Asian American Theatre Artists Collective, and the century old Los Angeles Breakfast Club, to name a few.

Acting isn't about pretending. It's about presence. About listening. About coming back to what's real. What if it was never about becoming someone else—but finally becoming yourself? In this episode, Gwenm speaks with Lori Triolo—actor, director, and master teacher of Meisner and Fitzmaurice Voicework®—about how the craft of acting can draw us into deeper contact with our truth, rather than pulling us away from it. They explore voice as a measure of emotion, breath as a doorway into the present moment, and how real performance isn't about polish—it's about contact. With the body. With sensation. With the parts of ourselves we've been trained to mute. This isn't just a conversation for actors.It's for anyone who has gone numb.Anyone who's tired of holding it together.Anyone ready to feel again. It's about awareness—and the quiet, steady return of alivenesswhen we stop performing and start paying attention. Watch: https://youtu.be/CQp7UGygHPM

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with James Meisner, founder of the Kipos Group, about the often misunderstood world of fundraising for nonprofits. James shared his extensive background in nonprofit leadership and his passion for solving some of society's most challenging problems through effective fundraising strategies. We discussed two major misconceptions that nonprofit leaders often hold: the belief that people are reluctant to give money and the assumption that funding primarily comes from grants and foundations. James emphasized that individual donors contribute the majority of philanthropic dollars in the U.S. and that they derive immense joy from giving. He encouraged nonprofit leaders to shift their mindset from a "begging" mentality to one of providing value to potential donors. James also highlighted the importance of having a well-defined case for support, which serves as a foundational document for communicating an organization's mission and impact. He stressed that successful nonprofits must demonstrate their effectiveness through compelling stories and data, which resonate emotionally with potential donors. We explored the significance of differentiating an organization's unique value proposition and how to effectively communicate impact. James provided practical advice on how to engage donors by starting with personal stories that illustrate the difference their contributions can make. As we wrapped up, James shared a powerful metaphor about planting seeds in a garden, reminding us that even the smallest efforts can grow into something significant with proper care and cultivation. This episode is a call to action for nonprofit leaders to embrace the fundraising process as a vital part of their mission to create positive change in the world.

Meisner is an acting method with the focus of staying in the moment and responding to present circumstances. By applying the basics of Meisner, authors can resolve or worsen the conflict, build deep characters, and avoid plot holes while staying dynamic, present, and responsive in their manuscript.

This isn't about performing, this is about presence, about how we grow and develop our mind and emotions. Mnemonic methods are discussed and how they benefit the actor and non-actor alike. The work of three masters, K. Stanislavski, S. Meisner and U. Hagen are broken down to display how they work in the arenas of acting, then how they can be use by the reader to grow and develop themselves in life. Improvisation is looked at and how powerful it's simple games can be. This is a book about all of us and what we can grow into be, if we chose to use the time tested tools we already have.

Joseph Granda has a multifaceted career in the entertainment and art worlds. Trained in NYC under the esteemed William Alderson in the Meisner technique, Joseph's journey spans stage, film, and visual arts.Joseph visits with Talking Weird to talk about his brand new feature film about Bigfoot and the people who are obsessed with the mystery - in which he starred, and which he also directed - THE SASQUALOGIST.Visit Joseph's official page here: https://www.josephgranda.com/Visit the official page for THE SASQUALOGIST here: https://www.thesasqualogist.com/THE SASQUALOGIST screens at the 9th annual MidWest WeirdFest, March 6-9, at the Micon Downtown Cinema in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. More details here: https://www.midwestweirdfest.com/Joseph has this to say about his approach to the Bigfoot subject:"During my research for the film, I delved into the world of Sasquatch enthusiasts, discovering a diverse community united by their love, reverence, and unwavering belief in this enigmatic creature. Within this community, there are two distinct factions: the "Aper's," who view Sasquatch as a yet-to-be-discovered hominid, and the "Woo's," who perceive it as an otherworldly being. With this film, I sought to navigate the complex terrain of Sasquatch lore with respect, infusing it with subtle humor and presenting compelling evidence for both camps.Regardless of your stance on Sasquatch, THE SASQUALOGIST promises to leave you with a profound understanding of the legend and a newfound appreciation for the significance of paternal guidance in our lives, whether we've experienced it firsthand or yearn for its presence. With the heartfelt dedication poured into every aspect of this film, I am confident that you will embrace it with the same fervor and affection that fueled its creation."This is a fascinating conversation about the creation of what is already being hailed by critics as "the best Sasquatch movie ever".

This episode centers on providing expert picks and betting insights for the Sanderson Farms Championship held at the Country Club of Jackson. Tournament Breakdown Sanderson Farms Championship OverviewWill reflects on the recent Presidents Cup, where Team USA won 18.5 to 11.5, with some controversy involving Tom Kim. He then dives into player analysis for the Sanderson Farms Championship, assessing top players, their odds, and recent performances. Player Analysis Keith MitchellAt 25-to-1 odds, Mitchell is questioned as a favorite due to missing the cut all four times at Jackson. Despite two recent top-12 finishes, his season has been underwhelming. Will advises against betting on him. Seamus PowerPower is also 25-to-1 but fares slightly better due to his global experience. However, poor iron play in recent events diminishes his chances, making him a risky pick. Maverick McNeelyListed at 28-to-1, McNeely's inconsistency and poor recent performances make him a risky choice. Will believes his odds should be higher. Mackenzie HughesDespite winning this tournament two years ago, Hughes' poor performance at the Presidents Cup makes Will pass on him at 28-to-1 odds, citing fatigue and inconsistent form. Nick DunlopAt 30-to-1, Dunlop is a promising young player with strong birdie conversion rates. Will sees potential in Dunlop but acknowledges the risks due to his inexperience. Key Matchups and Predictions Nick Dunlop vs. Eric ColeWill picks Dunlop over Cole at -140 odds, noting Cole's poor driving and iron play compared to Dunlop's consistency. Henrik Norlander vs. Chandler PhillipsNorlander, with three top-four finishes at Jackson, is favored due to his course familiarity. Will backs Norlander at even money. Rico Hoey vs. Sam StevensHoey is favored at -105 over Stevens, given Hoey's sharp iron play and Stevens' struggles throughout the 2024 season. Outright Picks Patrick FishburneAt 35-to-1, Fishburne's strong putting and consistent fairway play make him one of Will's top picks for an outright win. His recent form has been impressive. Grayson SigPriced at 90-to-1, Sig's familiarity with Jackson and solid recent performances position him as a good value pick for an outright win. Best Bet and Final Thoughts Mack MeisnerWill's best bet is Mack Meisner to finish in the top 20 at +220 odds. Despite a missed cut at Napa, Meisner's comfort on Bermuda greens and solid iron play make him a great pick.

E362 – "Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine." In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Amy Margolis, LCSW, a licensed therapist and co-clinical director of Santa Monica Counseling. Amy works with individuals and couples and runs groups for clients seeking healing in eating disorders, addictions, anxiety, depression, and related issues. She also supervises ASWs and AMFTs in gaining their clinical hours. Amy is a Meisner and Groundlings trained actor outside the clinical world, focusing primarily on voice-over work. She has worked for Nickelodeon, Netflix, Disney Junior and on many commercials, podcasts, and video games. Today, we will discuss her latest book, "Here is the Memo – A Life Guide for Women." You can follow Amy on Instagram @heres_the_memo and Facebook at Amy Margolis LCSW. 20 Best California Mental Health Podcasts https://podcasts.feedspot.com/california_mental_health_podcasts/ Check out my website: www.FoojanZeine.com, www.AwarenessIntegration.com, www.Foojan.com Summary Dr. Foojan and Amy Margolis discussed her book Here's the Memo, which aims to guide and support individuals through various life chapters. They discussed the complex relationship between food, trauma, and addiction. Amy explained how people often turn to food as a way to cope with trauma or emotional pain, leading to unhealthy eating habits and a cycle of self-hatred, highlighting the socialization of food and its role in comfort and nurturing. They both emphasized the need to address the root trauma instead of using food as a coping mechanism. Amy shared her journey with eating disorders and the lessons she learned along the way. She emphasized the importance of breaking free from strict rules and restrictions, creating a balanced and fulfilling life, and highlighting the need for a gradual change process rather than immediate strict rules. Amy explained the concept of the "critter brain," which consists of three parts: the brain stem, the emotional brain (the amygdala), and the prefrontal cortex. She emphasized that the brain sees change as a threat and that relapse is a normal part of the process, especially when one is trying to break free from old patterns. Dr. Zeine added to this by sharing her experiences with individuals who have gone through abuse and addiction, highlighting that relapse is often a part of the learning process and that each time it occurs, there is an opportunity to gain new insights. They discussed the concept of emotional freedom and its role in personal growth. Emotional freedom is recognizing one's power and agency in situations rather than feeling victimized by external circumstances. Emotional freedom also involves letting go of things beyond one's control and focusing on what can be changed. Both stressed the importance of self-reflection and seeking support from others as part of the growth process. They shared their views on self-care, self-love, and self-awareness in relationships. They emphasized that individuals should prioritize their own needs and emotions rather than focusing on their partners' faults. They also highlighted the concept of ebb and flow in relationships, suggesting that periods of distance or separation could strengthen the bond between partners. Amy encouraged people to live their lives to the fullest and pursue their dreams, while Dr. Zeine stressed the importance of maintaining authentic connections with others.

The very fact of being human makes us vulnerable to pandemics, but it also gives us the power to save ourselves. The COVID-19 pandemic most likely won't be our last—that is the uncomfortable but all-too-timely message of Sabrina Sholts' new book, The Human Disease. Traveling through history and around the globe to examine how and why pandemics are an inescapable threat of our own making, Sholts draws on dozens of disciplines—from medicine, epidemiology, and microbiology to anthropology, sociology, ecology, and neuroscience—as well as a unique expertise in public education about pandemic risks, to identify the human traits and tendencies that double as pandemic liabilities. Though the COVID-19 pandemic looms large in Sholts's account, it is, in fact, just one of the many infectious disease events explored in her book. When the next pandemic happens, and how bad it becomes, is largely within our highly capable human hands—and will be determined by what we do with our extraordinary human brains. Sabrina Sholts is the curator of biological anthropology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, where she developed the major exhibit Outbreak: Epidemics in a Connected World. She has also served as a scientific commissioner for a related exhibition at the Musée des Confluences in Lyon, France. Julianne Meisner, PhD, MS, BVM&S, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington, focusing on One Health and pandemics. Her research explores the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, with a focus on novel pathogen emergence and the impacts of livestock keeping. She holds degrees from the University of Edinburgh and UW, and her current projects include investigating the effects of land use change on disease emergence and refining models for human-animal contact networks.
