“Softly and Gently” w/ Robert Emms

from Chai with Rai Hosted by raimuitfum

Welcoming to The Chai Room- Robert Emms. We discussed his new project The Choral, which is out in cinemas right now- make sure to check it out. P.S - the end made me cry and we discuss that. We also discuss his new project Bad Apples. This was such a great insight into the mind of an Actor. We chatted about the concept of idolising and hero worshipping the creatives you might be working with to the truth and subtext of acting. How to create the world of your story and emote it through various techniques. I cannot wait for you to hear this and get inspired.
