Sunk costs, creativity and your Practice 05/26/2021

As someone with an engineering degree who is not doing engineering, this was something I needed to hear today.

"Just because you have a law degree, a travel agency or the ability to do calligraphy in Cyrillic doesn’t mean that your future self is obligated to accept that gift."

Sunk costs, creativity and your Practice “Ignore sunk costs” is the critical lesson of useful decision making. The thing you earned, that you depend on, that was hard to do–it’s a gift from your former self. Just b…

Some days my job is glamorous. Some days I spend multiple hours checking an audiobook about vomit. :)

Improvisation | Gary Schwartz 01/16/2018

If you like improv, or like laughing, or like spending a weekend with warm, friendly, funny people, whether you are a professional actor or not, do yourself a favor and go to a Spolin Games workshop with Gary Schwartz.

Plus, if you ARE a professional, you can get in now before he starts his advanced alumni program! This was, bar none, the best improv training I've ever had. The space work was incredible.

The views weren't half bad either. 😉

Helen Zaltzman sums up gaining experience in VO nicely:

"Most people hate the sound of their own voices. And the thing to get over that is to edit yourself for like ten hours a week in perpetuity...you'll still be annoyed at yourself, but you'll just be too broken to care."

It's funnier when she says it, BTW. =)

My neighbor has been working on his porch for what feels like years and years. He will often start hammering just as I start to record. I stop recording. He stops hammering. I wait. It's quiet. I hit record...and he starts hammering again.

I know I've seen similar scenarios played out in cartoons. A prize to the person who finds and links to the best example!
