Looking For Artists

Actor Tim Rogan brings the inspiration in a must-listen episode for aspiring actors everywhere. His road to becoming a working musical theater actor has been one of dedication, optimism, and discipline. He and Michael discuss the challenges and joys of the pursuit of an acting career in New York, the symbiotic relationship between physical fitness and success on stage, and the how to maintain a healthy mindset through the ups and downs of a career in the arts.

Step inside the mind of a true NYC artist; you may know his chalk faces from Union Square. Felix Morelo and Michael talk visual art, performance art, the business of art, and the life of an artist as an ongoing performance piece. Felix's perspective is rare, unique, and one you won't want to miss.

This week Jacob Davis joins Michael on Looking For Artists. Jacob moved to NYC about 6 years ago to study at UCB and sheds light on the process of a professional improviser. Laugh along with these two as they reminisce the stages of their friendship since middle school, growing up as artists, and now living in NYC together.

Violinist Doori Na joins Michael in this week's LFA. Ever wonder what life looks like for freelance musicians? Doori pulls back the curtain on reality as a professional musician and shares both his professional successes and roadblocks. He and Michael explore the connection between emotional and physical tension and how both affect your work as a performing artist. Doori's tips on intelligent practice provide meaningful insight to artists of all disciplines.

Michael sits down with fellow artist and friend Dominic Wong to what it means to be a singer and how photography can capture specific moments in time that can help us see things the way they are.
