Hello, Alex!

I'm new-ish to the TMA universe, so I apologize if you've answered this one twenty times already.

I was recently re-listening to Ep. 118 The Masquerade, and I wondered if you would talk a bit about how you approach directing scenes in which you're also performing, especially really visceral ones like the one between Elias and Martin?

Thank you!

It’s quite annoying really. it’s easier these days since I have more help so producers and editors can call me up on stuff. Mostly it was just a case of going by feel. If it felt wrong then I need to figure out if it was me or someone else and go from there. Truthfully though I never really developed a system beyond “really pay attention” which isn’t great advice really.

Hello!! This question is a bit out of the blue, but have you ever done any kind of theater acting or live performance work before? You're a very talented voice actor, so I'm curious if you've been on stage before too!

I'm aware that voice acting and theater acting are both VERY different and that some people thrive in one and not the other, but as someone who has done both, I'm curious if you've done the same :>

Yes I did a bunch of drama as a teen and in early 20s before I got into directing and my directing career started with Live Comedy. I also did a bunch of auditions but TV and Film but was always too short for roles!
