• 14:46
  Speaker 8: That's yeah, yeah, because of a few days.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: So how how long is is the virus asymptomatic in
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: the computer?
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: Three days? Anywhere from two to three days. Varies from
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: computer to computer, you know, HP So one thing, Dale's
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: of another MacBooks.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Are they contagious to other computers during that time?
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: My staff is still trying to get the analytics on that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: It can't be too sure. We think people have other
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: computers are most contagious on the third day. We do
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: think they're most contagious on the third day, but we
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: don't have enough data at this point.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, let's hope that your interns in fast food
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: can figure that out for you.
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: These guys are brilliant, brilliant, all of them. By the way,
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: at one point I should mention wanted to be actors,
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: you know, they wanted to be actors.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: And they realized it's not for me. They went on
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: the website, they paid the two hundred fifty dollars and
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: they said, no, you know what, I don't really want this.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: They click that, and then they said and then they
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: and then they weigh but to reflect, what do I
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: want to do? What do I love? Wow?
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: You know Soggy Bottom, I miss Soggy Bottom. I have
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: to say, doing the work, you were doing the lord's work.
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: By turning away anybody that doesn't really want it, if
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: we could get a couple less actors in the world, right,
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: it's true.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: That's so true.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: That's true because they have to my website. I don't
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: I understand. I don't understand how computers were.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: My website is just Denise no Noble and an address
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and you figure out the rest. Sure, and if you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: really want it, you would infer that that is a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: commercial acting class that you sent your kid to yes,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: But if you don't want it, you shouldn't be here.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be on my website, you shouldn't be typing anything.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I am sorry. I vehemently disagree. I believe
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: that anyone can act. I believe that a lot of
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: us do act. I believe we're acting.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Do you think anyone should act?
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: I think anyone should act if they want to act.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: I think acting should be open to everyone. I think
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: acting should be basically like a community event. I think
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: everybody should be allowed to act. And I think it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: insulting to turn anyone away my website. I actually automatically
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: uploaded my website onto every single computer. It's in your
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: book park already.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: Is that like?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Is that like another virus?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: So you're the virus?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Virus? It's not a virus.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It's not like when we all.
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: Had iTunes and we all got that one song from
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: you you too, Songs of Innocence.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, And that's when mine was sent as well.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: It was lumped in. It was a PDF, and it
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: got lumped in with you too. I know Bono, Me
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: and Bono dated a lot. You dated a lot at
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: a bunch of different times.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: And okay, so were you breaking up and then getting
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: back together?
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Was it a lot of dates in a row successively?
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: You're gonna have to ask Bono. I firmly believe that
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: he didn't know I was the same person he kept dating.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: I knew it was Bono and I can't talk about it,
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: but I lumped it in one time when we were
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: dating up.
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: You brought it up. You can't talk about you kind
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: of a talking about it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Well, I no more questions on this. I can't talk
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: about it. Let's just say Bono and I were really
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: passionate on and off, not to his knowledge, over twelve years.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I can't bring anything up anymore.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you.

• 20:26
  Speaker 8: hands up, I'm going I'm going home, packing my bags.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: And when you really put people's back against the wall,
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: when you just put their backs against the wall, you
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: find out what really drives them. Are you doing it
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: for the attention? Are you doing it for the fame?
• 20:41

• 24:07
  Speaker 2: What do you do?
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: No?
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: I started out a uh a. I was a pastor
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: at my church, and I was the leader of the
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: men's group. And I quickly transitioned out of that into
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: acting coaching.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And I didn't know very quickly. Oh, it was like
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: an afternoon now that something happened at the church.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Afternoon, Yeah, the morning.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Pastor in the afternoon you were an acting coach, Yes,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: you did you learn any acting in the meantime.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: And you would include that as part of your strong
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: part of your narrative.
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: Yes, and anybody could change within a small afternoon. And
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: the afternoon is not as long as the morning or night.
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: It's the shortest of the three.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: His longest morning is second longest, afternoon is the shortest.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: We all know that.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I learned that in Russia.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: I'm dying to know.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I'm dying to know what Sanslovsky has to say on commercials.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Stanislavsky says, well, yes, this is exactly what I want
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: to get into. I want to get into the method.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I want to get how we are approaching sides commercials.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: So let's hear about commercial approach.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, yes, Well, Stanislavsky is very it's naturalism, right,
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: it's it's you you read your okay, okay, it's what
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: what commercial is this?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: It's it's cheerios. You read it straight, You read it straight,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: like you're.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Talking to somebody in the kitchen, like nothing is happening,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: and then you really ham it up. Stanislavsky doesn't include
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: this in a lot of its teachings. A lot of
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Stanislavsky teachers neglect to enforce the ham it up portion.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Of stan I've never heard of this part of Sanslosky.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Right, so it's an entire naturalist folk focus. And then
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: I just pivot to ham it up.
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: Wow. Okay, Wow, that's what I do with my kids.
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: My technique. If I can, I just don't know if
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: I can. Can, I I can't.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: If you can, you absolutely can't.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Okay, Well that I will. You're begging me, I will, sure, sure, sure,
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: So after the first page, the second page on my website,
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: third page, third page, the third page, you do paid
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: additional five fifty to access.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: All right, so we're in twelve fifty at this point,
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: I think thirteen hundred thirteen hundreds.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Okay, sure, sure, sure, sure sure, And that page is
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: just blank, and you have to click around to try
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: to figure out figure out what what where, what's going on?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: And you'll clip people click, but you see how hungry
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: people are. You can see how many times one individual clicks,
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: and the individual who clicks the mostly goes on to
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: be an award winning commercial actor. Okay, And.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Just clicking around a blank sections of the website, you
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: have analytics.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: You have analytics on Yeah, my staff has gotten me analytics.
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: One of the biggest commercial actors. You all are familiar
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: with Flow from Progressive.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah love Flow.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: We love Flow.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I once fitted flow for a shoe.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: Oh she took did she take? She took your course?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: No, she was just for the shoes for the ship.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: Okay, okay, of course, and she was mine. She clicked
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: over thirty seven hundred times over the course of seventy
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: seven hours. That's how hungry she was.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: That's how hard work.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: That's right, because the legal definition of insanity is doing
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: something more than once and expecting a different result.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: But she did that thirty seven hundred times, and you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: know what it worked?
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: Its thirteen hundred dollars. Well, she found the button on
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: the page. The next page read, Am I married to copy?
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: That's something every student has to answer. Are you married
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: to copy? Are you in an open relationship with copy?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: How many students have gotten through it?
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: Is the button always there or does it get activated
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: after a certain amount of cliques?
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: The button is there after a certain number of cliques.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: After a student has clicked two thousand times, the button appears.
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: But still you can't see it. It just appears. Then
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: they have to try to find it, converting.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: To judy is a thing where you have to ask
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: three times, be told.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: No, yes, exactly, yes, yes, And then the next pation,
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: am I married to copy? What's my relationship with copy?
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: Am I even attracted to copy? Am I hooking up
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: with copy because copy is the only one showing me attention?
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: Maybe I don't want to be married to copy. Maybe
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: marriage is a construct.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: So do you like the students to say no at
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: that point, because so far they've said yes? Is this
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: a kind of like a trick thing where you want

  Speaker 8: They've done so well in the course up until this point,
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: and then they don't know how to answer, im, I'm

• 33:14
  Speaker 2: love and maybe I can include that in my method,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and I find message. I find method one of the
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: most important things. And to have your own method is
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: so important. We have a thing method? Yeah, go ahead, Yeah,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: what is yours.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: Mine is no, I shouldn't speak on it method man,
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: but I slept with him.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, how did that happen?
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: Well, I was at a concert a Wu Tang Wu
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: Tang Klang.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: That's a disversion of the.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Love those I got a.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: Like the kids.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: He's incredible talent.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it was like the kid version. And he
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: came because he was actually a vocal coach for Wu
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: Tang clan and because he he loved that they were
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: paying homage to the original Wu Tang.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: And so I love when I love when they say
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Wu Tang Clang ain't nothing to fiddle with. I love it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: And then they noses my apologies, my apologies, tricky, you're
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: gonna speak on a method I'm sorry, and I misunderstood,
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: and I shad something no.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: And I will say I'm sorry. I've never hooked up
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: with method man. But my acting approach is we have
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: a great saying in the studio, shoe store, find the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: size that fits. So basically what I'll.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Do is ask I'm sorry, yeah, go ahead. Much of
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a percentage of the shoe store. Does the shoe store
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: know you're doing acting classes?
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a partnership.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: They kind of know, sorry, are you.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Doing a gorilla style where a student kind of comes
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: in and you whisper them sort of acting lessons as.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: That is for private coaching. So for private coaching, which
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: happens during the day, I will let them try on
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a shoe, will go into the fitting room, and we'll
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: work on their audit during the night. Mister Gregory gives
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: me the keys, tells me to lock up. I take
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the midnight shift, lock up around six pm. Classes start
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: at six point thirty. He has no idea and is
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Gregory his first name or his last name? His name
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: is mister Gregory, so it's both his first name. His
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: name is Gregory Gregory. Oh okay, now, mister would be insane.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: His name is Gregory Gregor. He is he only sells
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: old shoes and gosh, the guy complains. The guy complains,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: business is good. We can't sell a damn thing in here.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Who are all these people?
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: I can't stand a complain that does he want to
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: sell shoes.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Or not exactly?
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: And get out he want he's gotta go.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: And I've talked to him because a lot of my
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: approach is based in how you approach the work. You know,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: it's not necessarily how the outcome of but how you
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: feel going into it, So how you show up, how
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: you could be the worst actor doing the worst, literally
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the worst anybody's ever seen. But if you feel good
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: about it? Who am I to say anything? You know,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: if you feel good about it and you're paying me
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit of money, I'm happy.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: That's a fun question. Who's the worst actor everyone here
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: has ever seen?
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: Oh? Easy, he's Lane Meryl Street.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I'd have to say Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Carrol Street.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: That's so funny, Barry, because I feel like you would
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: love him of all people, you know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, I coach him and he he came to
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: my studio bad, bad, but he but he picked up.
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: And speaking of methods, I wanted to say, he picked
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: up on my method, which are these core values?
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Which is perseverance strength?
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: Sure?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just those two great.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Perseverance, strength, faith, and.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I'm missing some.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: Of them all.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I've got a question for you, Barry. How many people
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: come into your acting studio expecting a workout class?
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: It It's very clear at at the location we're at
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: that it's an acting school. It's just the online inquiries
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: and the phone calls that are NonStop for Barry's boot camp.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: What's your method? I would love to get in because
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: you worked with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. That's insane.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: No, I work with some pretty big guys and I'm
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: just I create a space where men who don't feel
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: like they can be vulnerable can be that in a
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: strong and powerful way. We work scenes in a wrestling ring.
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: So that also may be why some people think.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: That it is a gym. We have barbells.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what's the percentage of people who show up for
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: their first time with towels and workout gear?
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: Denise? I love how much you love percentages?
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah you.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I'm a step major.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: I was gonna be a biochemical and geer and I said,
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: no bullshit, bullshit, full of bullshit in that world.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with any of that.
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: I just want to be no bull for you.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm noble. I'm noble. So it was not a match.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: It was not a match.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Nothing personal against STEM as an industry, but it was
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: bull and so could It wasn't a match.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: But okay, I want to I want to hear other
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: people's bad students and what you.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: Did do Meryl Streep MARYL. Streep. She's not a commercial actress.
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: She just can't do it. She doesn't have it. She
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: might be able to win an award here and there,
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: but she's never woned a commercial award, never has. And

  Speaker 5: I did say, Okay, okay, this is what I wanted
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: to know, and it was noble right, Okay.

  Speaker 1: Has anyone been an actor before this.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: And how successful was?
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: Yes?

• 44:18
  Speaker 9: manly qualities.
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: Okay, No, don't change your opinion, Barry.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: If you change your opinion, now we're gonna have more questions.
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we don't have to, hop I would really love
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: to move on from the yogurt.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: You know, the yogurt that they make for kids with
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: the oreo on top.

  Speaker 4: Oh go goat No, No, the other one animals, animals, animals.
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: A boy.

• 44:47
  Speaker 4: with that answer?
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Do you have any I want to make sure you're okay.
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: I'm set, zipping up my lips and turn away the cake.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you guys mind. I just
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: posted a bit of copy a couple of sides in
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: passing it out to you guys. I was just really interesting,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: because you know, my method is always evolving. I want
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: to see animals is Dannon animals. It's a children's braid
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: of yogurt that does feel male. I do agree it
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: does because Zach and Cody were attached to it when
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: we were younger, so it's inherently all.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: My boys read for the Zach and Cody parts, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: then in the end they gave it to Zach and Cody.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: Everyone knows it, seems to know it's a boy, but
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: I just don't know.
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: I can't wait to listen back to this to hear
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: what talking to a dear friend?
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: You're talking to a dear friend.
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: I can't hear over it's so gentle and.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: So good listeners will be able to hear because the
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: audio will be clear.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: But I cannot hear a thing.
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: It's just it's just I just I'll say this and
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: now and now shut up. I've made a fool of myself.
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: I just when now, when Barry says danimo, yo, get
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: is a boy? I said, is it? Because that's short
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: for Daniel? And then unfortunately Tricky chimed into say it's
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: actually unfortunately.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you're mad interrupted all a minute. You're mad
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: that Tricky interrupted you. You're mad the tricky.
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: Okay, Well, give me a moment to place my feeling.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Just let me give it, because I can tell you
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: that I think we all feel interrupted.
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: You're lying.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Swear to God, I am not lying. I am no
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: ball you were. You did interrupt me, but I you
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: know what I feel. I feel I'm not mad.
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: God, it's oh my god, right now I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed.
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: I'm going to zip up. Let's just talk about the
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: copy that that Tricky has formal did yees? So?
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I passed around this copy the sides, and I'm really
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: interested about how you guys would coach somebody like this.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: I do have a question.
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: I've moved on from the yogat, but are we married
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: to copy in this case? Is that a personal decision.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I'm interested in seeing it for you. I mean, are
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: you going to coach somebody to improvise or are you gonna?
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Like so the copy is I'm devastated. I'm absolutely devastated.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: How could you do this to me? We've been married
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: for years. How would you coach somebody on those I mean,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: this is like, you know, you're not given anything else,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: and this could be a commercial for sure, sure, sure.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I would argue this is a commercial. It's
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: very clearly a commercial for audios. How could you do
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: this to me? If you rearrange the letters, it's an
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: anagram for double stuffed oreos.
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: Right, that's famously how they make commercial sides. As they
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: changed the letter, but it keeps like a.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Little puzzle for the viewers to figure out how should
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: be buying.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: I've had commercial side this game.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I would know all about puzzles. Delilah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: Now I'm gonna give this two guys for free. I
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: would tell a student to try pick latin, just pick
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: a latin, make them remember you and I don't usually
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: do this kind of coaching. This is I just I would.
• 48:14
  Speaker 8: I've got favorites. Of course, I've got a favorite of
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: two student, and that's soon you'll stand out.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: So like ow our, Hey, this is bad?
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: No, this is really bad? What about this? What about this?
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll coach tricky because the rest of you are women. Tricky.
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: I want you to say this line and I want
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: you to be so freaking strong and stiff.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm devastated. I'm absolutely devastated. How could you
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: do this?
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: We were we've been married for years. Be brilliant, brilliant?
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was all right, Okay, why don't you coach him?
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, yes, okay, Tricky? So I noticed, I'm trying to
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: think of in these sides.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I guess we're talking about him. Do you want to
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: coach Tricky? First?
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, of course not.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Of course, of course, of course. Okay.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: So my question would be, where would the bite like
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: be in this right? Where is he or eating an
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: oreo and smiling? And I would say it comes right
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: after we've been married, right, we've been married, bite like
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: it four years. I'm hearing mumbling.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: I swear it sounds like she's talking to a friend.
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: Do you have to do you have some sort of
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: confession camera or or secret.
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: I've been on the.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Time, So if we hear you speaking, we'll just assume
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: that you're speaking on the phone.
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: Yes, Yes, deposition I thought I was muting is also
• 50:02

  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, let me try it with miss Nobles.
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: Yes, please the technique.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: I'm devastated. I'm absolutely devastated. How could you do this
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: to me? We've been married. It's not taking a note
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: too well.
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: For years, I was.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Taking a note too well. I'm not an actor. I
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: am a teacher. I am a coach. I do not
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: take notes. Well I thought he did.
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: My one note is that when you bid it, it
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: did really seem like you liked it.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could definitely work on this. Well, look at me.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I'm getting free acting coaches to take them. You want
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: to coach me, I would actually really try myself. Yeah,
• 50:49

• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I'm really great, like an aureo.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: You have to make yourself stand out as an actor
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: so obnoxious.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: So you read backwards. That's your advice. To read all
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: the lines.
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: That's what I felt I could do to make myself
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: stand up. But do pick Latin read it backwards? Only
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: read some of the words, choose to read every third word?
• 51:30

  Speaker 8: gonna be it. It's gonna be a big this is
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: a big campaign.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: It feels like your clients would probably waste casting director's.

  Speaker 3: Time a lot because they're saying what words wrong?
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: Well, you're also someone who said yo, kid was was

• 1:05:12
  Speaker 8: an Apple commercial, maybe it's maybe it's a Walmart. Find
