S12E12 - Coming Out of His Shell

Coming Out of His Shell   Regular listeners and viewers of Drewling Samantics will know all about how Drew and Sam found their respective ways into the industry, with their individual paths differing quite significantly, and in this week’s episode they introduce a guest who has taken another, rather uniquely timed, step into acting.  Dom Thomson is a relatively new member of the acting family, but that hasn’t stopped him experiencing several avenues of performance in such a short time: touring theatre, ballet (although not as you may think, as he explains), interactive and immersive shows, new writing - he certainly hasn’t been a slouch! And his “origin story” is perhaps a seemingly familiar one, but with a definite twist. As we know, during the visit of the “Unwelcome Guest” many members of the arts experienced a variety of difficulties and challenges that resulted in taking unexpected action - some took on other jobs (in rare cases leaving the performing world on a permanent basis), some relied on savings, some did lots of remote work, and some even started podcasts! Dom however took almost the opposite change of direction, leaving his regular job, and, after a period of reflection, decided to become an actor! This is never an easy choice, and for Dom too there were certain obstacles, but then an amazing event helped Dom on his way…  No spoilers here, you’ll just have to listen to the charming and erudite Dom Thomson as he shares his stories with Drew and Sam.   Social Media  Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics  Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics  Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam  Youtube.com/@DrewlingSamantics    Instagram.com/DomThomson  RSS Feed  https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss   Music  Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day  Creative Commons Attribution 3.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!
