So that's about finding out who they are, building a relationship with them so that they know what you can do, what you can't do, what your unique strengths are, whether or not you can record from home, whether or not you're based near a larger city like I'm in London. And it's still advantageous for me in case they want to get someone in last minute.

You know, I've got a in-person job and an in-person audition tomorrow in London town. And that's partly because they want to see you working in a space.

kind of a practice type thing that you do you obviously you're a lot more voice orientated so do you have like sequences you work on or is there stuff you do for that to prep for roles or i i mean i used to i used to do a from like three years of drama school training so there was like vocal warm-ups that i became kind of absolutely um enthralled to really using your body as a physical instrument that kind of thing uh which is very important to do
