FOF #1653 – Jet Eveleth’s Acting Lessons

Our minds were blown by comedian Jet Eveleth’s hilarious send up of all the insane advice that acting teachers and casting agents give just because they are losers.

Jet pulled a member from the audience to teach her all sorts of acting tricks, from catching marshmallows in her mouth to playing a disabled character in order to win an Oscar.

Then, in an inception like moment, it was revealed that everything we thought was an improvised skit was actually planned out, and the audience volunteer turned out to be in on the whole thing.

Today we’re joined by the brilliant comedic genius Jet Eveleth to talk about the crazy things acting teachers say as well as actual good advice on finding your voice as a performer and relaxing so you can be as funny as you can.

Why messing it up can be the best thing that ever happened to you. And how being in the closet impacts your creativity.

Check out the trailer to Jet’s pilot.
