Authors! I am finally back on BookRoar and I want to review YOUR book. I'm visually impaired, so I'd love to read some of your audiobooks. Are you on BookRoar, and do you have an audiobook version? Please let me know!!!
"I made this decision: I never looked at an audition as an audition again. I looked at it like: Oh, I have a job. Here's my job. I have a script. I went to work."

Take advantage of every chance you have to see and be seen. You never know when you’ll be at the right place at the right time to meet the right opportunity.
I was going to make a video about using italki to learn from native speakers (btw: ask me why “native speaker” is controversial in linguistics), when they reached out to me to sponsor a post. So here’s “How a linguist uses italki to learn languages”

“I have spent a lot of time looking at what other people are doing in their careers and comparing and I don’t think that’s healthy, you know. I think you’re on your own track. Just concentrate on yourself and don’t worry about what anyone else is doing.”
(Jodie Comer)
New video! Your textbooks lied to you about “tenses.” In it, I explain why tenses can be so confusing, how linguists think about time and action in languages, and why linguists say crazy things like “English has no future tense”

Whenever possible, try to get coached before every big audition. It is well worth your time (and money) to have a trained, independent eye reviewing your performance, pointing out strengths and flaws you might not be able to see on your own.
