Denmark4 months ago - Too long to brush my teeth to
I would need to brush my teeth about 7 times as long as normal in order to finish a typical episode. That said, as a non-acting individual myself, I enjoy learning about the thoughtful perspective Connor offers in this area of his expertise. Respectfully, I have moved on from listening while brushing my teeth to listening as I drift off to sleep, swaddled by a calm, introspective voice on a topic I am curious to know more about.

CRptAC is such a beautiful series of live shows, intimate recordings of live shows, and now supplemental podcasts. Like a “Citizen Kane” or “the Social Network” of a great teacher of acting for this time.
