About a year and a half ago I told my 5000 Facebook followers that if ten of them got paid annual subscriptions that day, I'd read a minimum of two a week on video. I got one new subscriber that whole week.
It's mentally taxing on me to just bang out reads, because I'm an actor and I want to act every character. I'm making an exception because I really wanna sell the book. But I'll make you a promise: If I go over 400 annual subscriptions, I'll read two a week.
Thanks. I'd really love to have other actors read them and only read parts that fit me. I back off full portrayals of characters unlike myself because people tend to get offended. And then I don't feel like I did my best. You've seen at least one of my movies, haven't you? I feel like we talked about it.
Yes. You definitely stand out in your roles! I have never understood why some hate an actor simply because of a movie.
I'll never forget when I took my second graders to a live performance of Hansel and Gretel, and the kids were terrified of the woman who played the witch. They went so far as to press against the opposite wall to avoid her in the hallway reception!
I had to explain to the children she was playing a role and was really a nice lady with children of her own.

I'm not an actor, but I "cast" my characters in my head, it's a lot if fun. You're a trooper. Congrats and best if luck!
That's so much fun. My friend did a whole podcast about that but he shelved it.
Ah, bummer. I'd listen to it.
I'll see if I can find a link
Congrats!!!
Thanks Carol! Thanks for being such an active member of this fiction circus
When is the book party? Hey, the networks are pretty good at covering art events at the Edo, and I will be happy to ping my contacts.
Good catch. Been a long couple days. I edited it. August 26th.
My pleasure, enjoy the neighborhoods...
Good job on the read.
Hope your party goes well.

Adult women were afraid of me after the Ash and Bone premiere. đŸ‘º
I doubt I'd like scaring little kids in person though.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the mark of a job well done.
It’s always great to hear the stories directly from you in these reads. Congratulations on the new book, Jimmy. I can’t wait to snag my copy.
