This ones for my actors. On today's episode, I sit down with dialect coach Amani Dorn to discuss the difference between accents & dialects, the illusion of perfection, and personal style. We also enjoy a few rounds of a virtual improv to bring it all together. Tune in to learn a bit about being a professional actor. 

Until next time, be a light an august light.
