Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Siobhan Dowd on Voice Acting: Audiobooks and Commercials
Q: So in your case, Siobhan, where did it come from?
She describes a lifelong love of film and reading, followed by retraining into voiceover after her second child, which led her to freelance work across commercials, audiobooks, and other voice projects.
Sam Troughton on A Very Royal Scandal and Chernobyl
Q: Can you describe the experience of filming Chernobyl, particularly the control room scenes and portraying Akimov, and how it influenced your craft?
Filming in chronological order helped build the tension; the crew aimed to sovietize body language subtly, focusing on realism rather than disaster-film clichés; working with strong actors like Paul Ritter and Jared Harris shaped his performance, and the experience left a lasting mark on his career and approach to future roles.
Simon Furness | Part 2 | The Seagull
Q: What has been an unforgettable experience in your career?
Performing in Hamlet in 2011 at St. Andrew's Church in London was transformative, fostering organic collaboration among cast and crew and highlighting the importance of feeling connected to the work and the other actors.
Simon Furness | Part 2 | The Seagull
Q: What would you say was a bit of advice you wish you heard when you were starting out?
Find your own groove and path in acting, avoid trying to imitate others, view acting as a marathon, and focus on developing your unique approach rather than chasing different images of success.
Shakespeare Saturday | Macbeth
Q: What would you ask Shakespeare if you had the chance?
The guest expresses a desire to understand the origins of the sonnets, asking about who the fair youth and the dark lady are and the stories behind those poems.
