All the feels! A rich and jam packed episode in which Tanya Moodie gives us the view through her unique lens of the craft of acting and takes a deep dive into the personal. We discuss how what goes on in the psyche, goes on in the voice, wearing black to disappear, the vulnerability of using our voices with our partners, how she navigates motherhood, code switching to build bridges, and the initial devastation of changing her accent. UPDATE: the upcoming project Tanya mentioned being unable to discuss in this interview, has now been made public! She will be starring in the second season of Lord of the Rings on Amazon Prime! Congratulations Tanya!
