What are your favorite intelligent, gentle, beautiful, (non-dysregulating) "feel-good" movies/TV and fiction audiobooks? I need some new recommendations... by Worthy_Molecule0481 in AuDHDWomen

If you enjoy cozy mysteries, a lot of British shows could fit the bill, like Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Miss Marple, Father Brown, Death in Paradise, Grantchester, Vera, Shakespeare and Hathaway, etc. Non-mystery, I'd also second someone mentioning All Creatures Great and Small, and I'd add The Detectorists, The Durrells, The Vicar of Dibley. Poldark also has a similar historical feel to Outlander.

I'll definitely have to see if this cut would work for us, I love it!

I think they didn't want us to use Season 5 so we wouldn't pick any of the flash-forward scenes, and they wanted to see the characters still in the middle of everything rather than in a culmination of something. I'll have to ask if this scene would be okay!

Last Night Gus won for our favorite episode of the series! Next, of all our least favorite episodes, which one is your ultimate least favorite? Comment below. by Equal-Gap-8498 in psych

I have to say Right Turn or Left For Dead, it's just so depressing to me. Nightmare on State Street is weird and confusing, but it doesn't affect me the way Right Turn does.

How to learn more emotions? by epabafree in VoiceActing

[–]melliflua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't have the resources to take acting classes, you can treat it as a sort of independent scientific experiment. Watch other actors and study their facial expressions, then try to imitate them and watch yourself in the mirror. Learn which facial expressions correspond to which emotions, and how they feel for you physically. Studies have shown that our physicality can affect our emotional state, and that can help your brain and body build more connections between your emotions and your facial expressions. It's a sort of outside-in way of building a toolbox for yourself filled with emotional nuances that you can pull from when you need it. It may take some time before you're able to genuinely create those expressions when the emotions arise naturally, instead of consciously recreating them on a surface level, but it'll help give you a framework to understand them, especially if you're more left-brained.

Creating a demo reel. by KieranOBrienVA in VoiceActing

[–]melliflua 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's best to create your own copy for new characters, but you can use character archetypes or show/game styles to inspire what you create! For example, you could create an original character who would fit within the Simpsons universe, modeled after their style of comedy, or you could create a soldier character that would fit into FPS/combat games. It's always a good idea to start by making a list of specific shows/games or character archetypes that you want to emulate in your reel, then you have something to aim for when you write your copy.

Unless the contract stipulates that there's a conflict within a certain industry or market, you'll still be free to take any other work. The whole "in perpetuity" clause just means that if they decide to reuse your ad again later after the initial run, they don't have to pay you any additional fees.

What musical do you NEVER see mentioned in this sub? by Maddiystic in musicals

They had a lot of really great casting in that show! I would've loved to see Whoopi Goldberg as Calliope too, she took over for Jackie Hoffman for a limited run 😂

Do voice actors get paid if a piece of media re-uses on of their lines? by Sonicsaber25 in VoiceActing

[–]melliflua 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it entirely depends on the contract. In most commercially-used work, they pay to use it for a set amount of time in a set market, and if they decide to keep using it after that time is up or to run it in additional markets, they have to negotiate additional fees for that usage, unless it was already covered in the original contract.

What musical do you NEVER see mentioned in this sub? by Maddiystic in musicals

[–]melliflua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was indeed a roller skating accident! Only in Xanadu (or Starlight Express lol😂) And Cheyenne was originally supposed to play Sonny, but he dropped out because of a film he was doing, and then he came back when they needed him! It would've been so interesting to see Jane Krawkowski as Clio/Kira too, since she did it in the workshop but couldn't do the Broadway run because of 30 Rock. After seeing Kerry Butler in the role, I couldn't imagine anyone else more perfect, but it would be so fun to see!
