Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.Episode 12 - End Of Season Special for 2022. In this episode I bring back 3 guests form the year to discuss some of the pertinent topics raised by guests throughout the year. From my very first episode in January, the wonderful actress and great friend, Eva Grzelak. Followed by, from Episode 3, Brisbane based actor and voice over artist (and spider whisperer), Stephen Walker.And last, but certainly not least, from Episode 9, fellow Adelaidaidean, acting teacher and ( I know he doesn’t like this word, but I’ll say it….. mentor) Tony Knight. In this episode the 'forum' discuss education for late bloomers. This was pretty much the number 1 topic during the year.  It seems that late bloomers pretty much rely on the short course and workshop approach to increasing their acting acumen.  We also dive into the well-being of all actors around the world, regardless of their age, specifically the ups & downs of an actors journey, the moments where actors start to doubt themselves. I ask each of my guests how they are fairing coming out of the Covid mayhem, and what are their thoughts on how actors can stay positive on this journey?Another big issue raised for actors, is “Creating Your Own Work”. This is discussed  a lot in relation to actors getting themselves out there, and also to make something for their show-reels. We have a great chat around the areas of ‘asking’ for volunteers to help with such content creation.  Is creating your own work completely necessary, a must have, or is it a sometimes things, a once off maybe? And finally, we discuss each of the guests views on something Tony said in his discussion, and that was "the actor finding permission to play." We talk about what each of us  do to bring characters to life, to make them real, on stage or on screen. And what barriers make this difficult.
