    • Unexpected challenges in sitcom productionDespite securing funding and casting, sitcom production faces unexpected challenges and last-minute changes, requiring flexibility and understanding from all involved.

      The process of creating a sitcom involves unexpected challenges and last-minute changes, even after securing funding and casting. The creators, who found the experience surreal after initially writing the script, discovered that some scenes, like having a man enter with four dogs, were not necessary and caused unnecessary stress for the crew. Their producer spent several days finding the dogs only for them to be cut. Despite the struggles, they remained sympathetic towards each other and continued working through the challenges. The creators also acknowledged the importance of staying uncharismatic and non-entertaining in their answer machine messages to maintain a professional image. Overall, the sitcom production process was filled with unexpected twists and turns, requiring flexibility and understanding from all involved.

    • Improving Dialogue Quality through ADRActors re-record dialogue in a studio for clearer and more distinct speech in films, a time-consuming process that may require travel.

      During filmmaking, Additional Dialogue Recording (ADR) is a common process used to improve the quality of dialogue. Actors re-record their lines in a studio, ensuring clear and distinct speech. Tom Hardy, for instance, reportedly uses ADR for his gravelly Bane voice in "The Dark Knight Rises." This process can be time-consuming and may require actors to travel long distances for just a few minutes of on-screen footage. The conversation also touched upon a Netflix show, "Sex Education," where ADR was used for specific lines. The discussion also revealed that the actors, including the speaker, have to perform the scene again and deliver the lines clearly for ADR sessions.

      The discussed television series, Big Brother, features intense and tense arguments among housemates, with unexpected appearances from famous figures like Savile. The charisma of such individuals can be compelling, but their actions can also lead to shocking revelations and ethical dilemmas. The series, known for its dramatic twists, keeps audiences engaged and eager for more, even if it means dealing with controversial subjects. The hosts, despite acknowledging potential backlash, remain committed to discussing these topics openly with their audience.

    • Sharing stories and laughter despite unexpected situationsFriends find common ground and share humor even during unexpected interruptions and personal fears

The second person expressed their amusement at a comedian's performance and suggested filming it for a potential podcast episode.

Despite the seemingly unrelated topics, the conversation flowed naturally and showcased the ease and comfort the two individuals have with each other.

    Welcome to the Actor Problems Podcast

    Welcome to the Actor Problems Podcast

    Welcome to the Actor Problems Podcast - a self-care podcast for actors.

    My name is Tony Rossi. I'm a Chicago based actor as well as a mindset coach and Backstage guest expert. I help actors see things differently with the things that make them stressed and overwhelmed - so that we can focus on what really matters.

    This journey can be hard: Endless rejection. Constantly comparing ourselves to our peers. And often feeling like the harder we work, the further we are from our goals! 

    If we don't make our mental health a priority - that is when the burnout starts. 

    But I truly believe that not only we can see things differently - we can also be messy and still get the things that we want.

    I'll see ya on set :) 

    #notperfect - Let's go get 'em actors.
