  • Death to funeral

    So very interesting This brought back memories! ! I dated a Resp. Therapy student that moon lighted at a funeral home 11- 7, was a good place to study. I’d take my dinner break from the hospital. We’d visit with the “clients” so they weren’t alone. Sounds silly I know but it was a very peaceful atmosphere. Death is that final journey we all must take .

Talk therapy has done zero for me, I haven’t even attempted it in years because it w... more

Exactly. A lot of people are concerned about exposure, but teaching tricks in books doesn't have the same impact as revealing the art of performance on screen.
