Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S1 Ep24: Acting, Technology and Truth - What’s Changing for Actors
Q: You've worked with people like David Harbour, Orlando Bloom. How do you prepare for that level of work without letting it overwhelm you, and how do you stay grounded?
Cambridge explains that fundamentals stay the same across scales; the presence, director guidance, and collaboration matter more than the scale. He notes the importance of focusing on your own performance, staying professional, and treating big projects as another day of work, with preparation and a grounded mindset.
S1 Ep18: Beyond the Exam: How LAMDA Supports Young Performers
Q: What would you suggest they focus on first for young beginners?
Be a sponge: soak up theatre experiences, read plays, observe practitioners, and engage with acting activities that foster curiosity and imagination, while balancing solo and group learning to build a foundational understanding of acting before moving into more formal training.
S1 Ep18: Beyond the Exam: How LAMDA Supports Young Performers
Q: What do you see Lamda giving young performers beyond the exam?
Lamda adds soft skills like confidence, communication, resilience, self-expression, and the ability to market oneself for interviews or auditions, while also providing a practical pathway through solo performance that translates into real industry readiness.
S1 Ep20: AI, Casting and Values - What Young Performers Really Need to Know
Q: How do you view AI in the context of the acting craft?
It's a tool that can aid efficiency but will not replace genuine human emotion and storytelling; focus on resilience, curiosity, and the long-term craft.
S1 Ep20: AI, Casting and Values - What Young Performers Really Need to Know
Q: What should families look for in contracts regarding AI?
Look for explicit language protecting likeness, voice, and performance, and push to add separate licenses and fees for AI use; if it's not mentioned, request an AI clause.
