  • Episode 3 with special guest Chris Bell
    Jan 8 2025

    Join me one more time as we delve into the world of being or becoming an SA. This time around I find myself chatting to Chris Bell, a man who after his training took to the stage. He now seeks to make the transition from stage to screen and although having had some experience, he has found, like to many others, that there are problems that must be overcome from time to time in order to reach the goal.

    Chris gives some sound advice on how to begin and he even shares some of his professional training with us in this episode.
