Imagination Rejuvenation, Failure Folly, and More with Ned Donovan
On this week's 5 Random Questions, I chat with Ned Donovan - actor, singer, writer, producer, and a bunch of different hyphens around the entertainment industry. Answers include what he really misses about childhood, why failure is success, his favourite day of the year, and more.
Answering the questions this week: Ned Donovan
I'm an actor, singer, writer, producer, bunch of different hyphens around the entertainment industry. I am a series regular on (and co-creator/executive producer on) the Dungeons & Dragons tv show Encounter Party.
I am the host of Daily Tips That May or May Not Help You, a tip-of-the-day podcast in 2 minutes or less Monday-Friday. And I'm the director of Audio Fiction for the New Jersey Web Festival, the first "film" festival experience for fiction podcasts and actual play media. Now in its 5th year, I've worked with festivals all over the world to launch the Audio Fiction World Cup, the first international collective of festival experiences with jury-adjudicated competitions in audio fiction.
I live in the Bronx, NY and generally my personality is Gotham FC, my dog Buggsy Mogues, tabletop roleplaying games, and generally trying to be artistic and creative whenever possible.
