Episode 1: Neil Newbon

Oh, still, but it's all, you know, games have exploded, it feels like, out of nowhere.

I mean, it wasn't nowhere to those of us that have been there.

No, it's 30 years of performance stuff.

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

But now

we do have intimacy directors on call.

We have actors who have more rights.

Actors are in the discussion more.

It's great.

It's a really wonderful time to be a performer in this space, I think.

And we're also taking more seriously now, which is great.

It's always been art.

It's always been performance.

I don't like the term voice actor because I think it's reductive.

I don't call a TV actor a face actor.

Do

you

know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, good point.

It's acting.

It's just

acting.

Yeah, so voice work is a thing, sure.

Performance, caption, mocap.

TV, film and theatre, but it's all baseline acting, including just locomotion and navigation.

It's still acting, still performance, just more structured, more specific.
