Must-Listen for Actors

Started listening after wanting to get more insights and info on performance capture. Victoria has a great, easy vibe with her guests and there are always awesome anecdotes and more importantly, insight on what the industry is looking for on the audition side and during the job. Not too long after starting to listen to the podcast, I actually booked my first Pcap job!

Love this Podcast!

This is a great podcast to listen to! Love the principals it teaches, as the fundamentals to knowing how to succeed are made known (even in Peformance Capturing). This podcast is similar to another favorite podcast of mine, the Relevant Leadership Podcast by Ty Bennett; one of my Top 25 Heroes.

Compelling & Enlightening introduction ...

...into Performance Capture. I initially contacted Victoria to chat Voice Over, which led me into an exploration of a whole new, wonderful world where theater and cinema meld together in the most magical of ways. Thank you Victoria, and all of your guests, for sharing your knowledge through these conversations about this exciting and rapidly evolving industry!
