Working on a COVID-Safe Film Set & The Finicky World of Corporate Voiceovers | Ep 46

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another unfiltered look at the acting grind on Episode 46 of Two Unemployed Actors. This week, Max and Sam dive headfirst into the rapidly evolving landscape of the entertainment industry, balancing real-world set experiences with essential craft talk and some incredible filmmaker inspiration you can stream from home. First up, Sam shares what it’s really like navigating the new normal of the industry after spending a day on set of the upcoming Australian feature film Ruby’s Choice. From catching glimpses of Hollywood royalty Jane Seymour to adapting to strict, mandatory mask regulations and on-set COVID nurses, Sam breaks down the logistical reality of modern film production and the immense responsibility placed on local crews. Shifting gears to the voice booth, Max opens up about the highly lucrative but often finicky world of corporate voiceovers. He shares a hilariously relatable horror story about a single, multi-syllable word, patented that completely derailed his recording flow and pushed his client revisions to the absolute limit. The boys also chat about preparing for upcoming commercial shoots and the bittersweet milestone of booking gigs where your on-screen children are suddenly old enough to drive. Finally, the discussion turns to masterclass inspiration with a deep dive into the Russo brothers’ Pizza Film School Live series. Max breaks down the brilliant episodic format and reviews a fantastic guest session featuring Taika Waititi as he analyses the campy genius of the 1980s cult classic Flash Gordon, dropping invaluable gems on second-act screenwriting structures and visual storytelling. Whether you are looking to free your natural vocal resonance, trying to stop over-analysing your self-tapes, or just want to laugh at the daily absurdities of a performer's life, this episode has something for you.
