So it's all about the discipline of being able to take a cold bit of text and immediately kind of give a take on it and know halfway through your first take, what am I going to do with the second take that's going to be different? What little adjustment am I going to make other than going like, I'm going to do it slower? Yeah. I'm going to do it more or less excited.

You know, so it's an interesting and informed take rather than just like, yeah, your first takes are always good and your second takes are always not so good. So yeah, other than that, it's not really that.

And ultimately, it's creative. But it's also the reason why some people will go, well, we'll get an AI to do it. And this is where you frame yourself as like, If you're hiring an actor, then it's because you're interested in their creativity and their choice and what they might bring.

If you're a game dev who literally is like, I know exactly what this sound is that I want, and that's what I want, then you'll use an actor until it becomes cheaper to use an AI to do exactly what it is that you want to do. And I'm not judging you on that one way or the other. If...

If the AI is technically sourced, you know, if it's like sourced legitimately and, you know, with everybody's consent and all of that kind of thing, then sure, go do whatever you want. But that's not what I'm necessarily striving for as an actor is being given line readings is what people would.

say them like this is exactly how you say the line because a lot of directors aren't actors so they'll think it sounds like one thing in their head what actually comes out of their mouths isn't always exactly what they intended so then you're kind of doing almost a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a not particularly good performance in the first place Like, don't get me wrong.

Like if there's a certain intonation that you need, tell me what the intonation is. I'll find my own way to it and we'll try to do it in as fast a time as possible. But yeah, that's where the kind of like the tension lies. It's like, you've got to be free and easy and creative, but at the same time, tick, tick, clock's running.
