Acting craft host: Kennedy

Acting craft host, warm, passionate, and intimate

Prompt: A warm, expressive female voice for an actor's-craft podcast. Her rich mid-register is passionate and intimate, treating performance as truth-telling, engaged and warm. There's a it's-not-pretending-it's-becoming insight in her tone. The sound of a host who makes an acting technique feel like a doorway into being more human.

Script: People think acting is pretending. It's the opposite, actually. The great ones aren't hiding behind a character; they're using the character to reveal something painfully true, usually about themselves. That's why it's terrifying and why it's the bravest art form there is.
