Welcome to Acting Real (Teaser) Nov 29, 2017

Kat Foster (JEAN CLAUDE VAN JOHNSON, WEEDS, TIL DEATH) interviews fellow actors about how they use all the stuff they’ve learned from acting, in their real, everyday lives – stuff like how to deal with fear, how to go with the flow, and how to follow instincts. She thinks that talking about that stuff will be not only useful, but also maybe inspiring for all kinds of listeners – actors and non-actors alike. Mostly, Kat is interested in knowing and talking about being authentic. In fact, right now, out of respect for authenticity, she’d like to let you know that she’s the actual writer of this blurb, wherein she’s written about herself in the third person, because that’s the convention. (Hey. It’s Kat. This is me now, writing about myself, as myself. Thanks for hanging out. I’m excited for us to discuss ACTING REAL. I love you. Really.)
