The Bold Acting Podcast

I'm an actor and a teacher in Toronto. But I don't just teach acting. I teach performance technique that everyone can use. Each week I'll publish an episode that covers the newsletter, everything we've been working on in class and all of the videos I've published on social media. All in one place. boldacting.substack.com

  66. A Bug, not a Feature

  Oct 29, 20251 minS0

  <p></p><p>I spent this past week on the road with two dear, longtime friends as they needed some cheap labour for their comedy show they’re touring around Ontario. We improvised from Ottawa to Cornwall to Peterborough and back to Toronto. We stayed in Airbnbs, ate at questionable hours, didn’t sleep enough, and drove for days. We performed on nights there was a world series. We danced like monkeys for drunken animals. We took pictures after with the appreciative. We were making comedy in Canada and it was so much fun.</p><p>There’s more. This Tuesda...

  45. Starting Artists

  Nov 19, 20246 minS0

  <p>Somehow with all that’s going on the pressure is off. I’m reminded not to be surprised. Dogs are going to bark, baker’s gonna bake and humans are going to treat each other terribly. What’s important to you? For me, for now, it’s blood.</p><p>Tonight I made some fake blood. Two tablespoons of chocolate syrup, one cup of corn syrup and some red food colouring. This is for a short film, a Western, I’m making with my old friend Mike and my new friend Shelly. There is nothing going on in Film & TV so there...

  43. Kensington Diner

  Nov 5, 20248 minS0

  <p>We have shot two episodes of a digital series I have created called Kensington Diner. We have four more to go. I based some of them on some of my favourite films: Cleo de Cinq a Sept, In Bruges, When Harry Met Sally, My Son the Fanatic. I steal from the greats — I do not just let myself be inspired by — and then I put someone else’s ideas or filmic techniques or casting choices or story elements through my own neophyte gaze and out pops a dog’s breakfast unrecognizable to it’s estranged parent. Rob Reiner, Agnes Varda and...

  42. MESSAGES TO MYSELF

  Oct 13, 202414 minS0

  <p>From the Oxford English Dictionary</p><p>hypocrite, n.</p><p>From the Middle English by way of Old French: ecclesiastical; and the Greek: One who falsely professes to be virtuously or religiously inclined; one who pretends to have feelings or beliefs of a higher order than his real ones: A pretender, a dissembler, an actor on the stage.</p><p></p><p>It’s all about me, unfortunately. Every prescriptive pearl is aimed at me. I use the word ‘you” but I mean me. Do you? Don’t you? Don’t we all?</p><p>1. You’ll Tire of Me</p><p>A...

  41. A Weird Way to Go Out

  Oct 7, 20245 minS0

  <p></p><p>I found a book in a little library called Talk Like Ted. It’s annoying both because I’m easily annoyed and it was written by a finance Chad that’s more successful than me. One suggestion is when you want to engage an audience (like at a Ted Talk) teach them something new. Or at least frame it in a novel way. I’ve been doing this newsletter for a couple years now and I am ready for something new. So here is one:</p><p>I’m doing a new podcast with my friend Preet Banerjee...
