Kelly McNeely: Funso langa loyamba ndi magawo awiri. Ndiye, bwanji? Nanga zinachokera kuti? [kuseka]

Alex Phillips: [akuseka] Um, chiani? Ameneyo ndi ovuta kuyankha. Koma komwe zidachokera, chabwino, kotero ndidakumana ndi zinthu zina zosweka mtima kwambiri. Ndinadutsamo kwenikweni, monga, psychosis. Ndipo zinali zowopsa komanso zowopsa, ndipo zidawononga moyo wanga. Ndipo ine sindikunena izo chifukwa cha chifundo. Koma ndipamene kulira, ndi chifukwa chiyani kuseka [kuseka].

Izi zikachitika, mumakhala ndi zambiri - ndikutanthauza, ndili bwino tsopano, ndidatenga mankhwala ambiri ndi zinthu zonse zosangalatsa - koma izi zikachitika, pamakhala malingaliro openga openga, monga paranoia, chinyengo, zilubwelubwe, zinthu zonse zabwino izo. Ndipo ndazolowera kuwona zambiri zowonetsa za matenda amisala m'njira yotsimikizika yamalingaliro, pomwe wina ali ngati, izi ndi zomwe zidandichitikira. Ndipo akulankhula za momwe adadutsamo. Ndipo izo sizikuwoneka zowona mtima kwa ine, za chondichitikira changa, chifukwa chinali choyipa kwathunthu komanso choyipa. 

Ndipo kotero izi ndimangonena, ngati, eya, ndikukusokonezani, matenda amisala. Sindinafune kukhala wamakhalidwe pankhaniyi. Chifukwanso, zinali zowawa m'njira zambiri, zomwe sizinapangitse moyo wanga kukhala wabwinoko. Monga, sindikufuna kuti ndinene nkhani yakugonjetsa mavuto, chifukwa, mukudziwa, kunali kwanthawi yayitali. 

Chifukwa chake, ndikuganiza kuti izi zili ngati - ndi anthu ovutawa omwe sakondedwa kwenikweni, si anthu abwino - koma ndimamva ngati mukakhala pamavuto omwe zikuchitika, komanso kusokoneza mankhwala osokoneza bongo ndi zonse. zinthu zina izi, anthu si abwino kwenikweni. Chotero ndinaganiza kuti chimenecho chikanakhala chisonyezero chowona mtima.

Ndiyeno - pokhala woona mtima - komanso kugwiritsa ntchito mtundu kuti ukhale chinthu chomwe omvera angagwirizane nacho komanso amafuna kuphunzira za ulendowu, komanso mwina kukhala ndi nthawi yabwino kuchita zimenezo. Chifukwa ndicho chinthu china, zinthuzo ndi zamisala komanso zoseketsa, komanso zodabwitsa komanso zowopsa nthawi yomweyo. 

Kelly McNeely: Polankhula za otchulidwa ndi oyimba pang'ono, ndidafuna kukufunsani za momwe akuponya, chifukwa osewera onse ndi abwino kwambiri. Kodi mungalankhulepo pang'ono za kuponya? Chifukwa ndimaganiza kuti panali njira yapadera yokhazikitsira otchulidwawa ndikuyika maudindo awa. 

Alex Phillips: Inde. Chabwino, anthu ambiri omwe tidawapeza ndi anzanga chabe, ali mdera la Chicago. Ndipo achita zinthu zambiri zoyesera, ndipo ndakhala ndikugwira nawo ntchito kale ndi ena akabudula anga, kapena mwachisawawa, monga zojambulajambula, kapena pafupi ndi Chicago. 

Chifukwa chake, ndikutanthauza, sizinali zofanana ndi kukonda wosewera waku Hollywood ndikuyesera kupeza wina woti achite izi. Zinali ngati, mukudziwa, mnyamata uyu Mike Lopez, ndiye Biff, munthu yemwe ali ndi zodzoladzola zamatsenga ndipo akuyendetsa van. Iye ali ngati munthu wozizira, wodabwitsa yemwe ndikumudziwa, mukudziwa? Ndipo ndiwoseketsa komanso wodabwitsa komanso momwe amaperekera mizere, ndiye ndinali ngati, Hei, mukufuna kukhala nokha mutavala zopakapaka? Ndipo tinagwiritsa ntchito momwe tingapangire mantha.

Ndipo kotero zinali ngati momwe ntchito zambiri zoponyera zidagwirira ntchito. Eva, yemwe anali Henrietta, alibe ngakhale zinachitikira akuchita, anali basi, ngati, zodabwitsa. Ndinamupempha kuti akhale mu kabudula wanga wina kalekale. Ndiyeno ndinali ngati, chabwino, muli ndi ine kuyambira pano, ndinu wamkulu. 

Kotero izo zinali zambiri za izo. Kenako Betsey Brown, yemwe mwina ndi m'modzi mwa ochita zisudzo athu odziwika bwino, amangolumikizana ndi munthu wathu, Ben, adagwira naye ntchito mu kanema. Abulu. Kotero ife tinaganiza kuti iye akanakhala wangwiro pulojekitiyi, chifukwa ndi yopenga kwambiri, ndipo iye ali mu zinthu zopenga. 

Kelly McNeely: Ndipo kusakanikirana kwa mawu ndi kapangidwe ka mawu mkati Zonse Zodzaza ndi Zodzaza ndi mphutsi ndizabwino kwambiri. Ndimakonda kugwiritsa ntchito jazi wosadziwika bwino, ndikuganiza kuti ndizabwino kwambiri, zimapangitsa kuti pang'onopang'ono mukhale openga, zomwe ndikuganiza kuti zimagwira ntchito bwino mufilimuyi. Ndikumvetsetsa kuti muli ndi chidziwitso pakusakanikirana kwamawu, monga kuti ndi gawo la mbiri yanu yopanga makanema. Kodi mungalankhule pang'ono momwe zidakhalira gawo lanu la repertoire? Luso lanu lopanga filimu lakhazikitsidwa, ndikuganiza? 

Alex Phillips: Inde. Eya, kotero pamene ndinali mwana, ndinkafuna kukhala wolemba. Ndipo ndinazindikira mofulumira kwambiri, ngati, ndikumaliza maphunziro, koma palibe amene amandilipira kuti ndichite zimenezo. Osachepera nthawi yomweyo. Chifukwa chake ndinkafuna kugwira ntchito, kotero ndinayenera kuphunzira luso lomwe anthu amafunikira kugwiritsa ntchito [kuseka].

Kotero ndinadziphunzitsa ndekha kusakaniza zomveka. Ndipo ndizomwe ndimachita ngati ntchito yanga yatsiku, ndimajambulitsa mawu amitundu yonse monga malonda, makanema, zolemba, zinthu monga choncho. Ndiyeno ponena za kamangidwe ka mawu ndi nyimbo ndi zinthu monga choncho, nthawi zonse zakhala chinachake - ndinali m'magulu ku koleji ndi kusukulu ya sekondale - ndipo yangokhala mbali ya zinthu zomwe ndimakonda kuchita. 

Ndi Sam Clapp wa Kugula Shop, iye ndi ine tinkacheza pafupi ndi zaka zaku koleji ku St. Kotero iye anaimba nyimbo za kabudula wanga ndi zinthu, chimodzimodzi ndi Alex Inglizian wa Situdiyo Yoyeserera Yomveka. Iye ndi ine takhala tikugwira ntchito limodzi kwa nthawi yaitali. Kotero ife tiri ndi zida zambiri zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi chidziwitso, komanso timangodziwa momwe tingagwiritsire ntchito wina ndi mzake m'njira yotulutsira zodabwitsa zonse ndikupeza Foley ndikupeza phokoso. 

Ndikhoza kumuuza Sam ngati, chabwino, izi zikhale ngati Goblin, koma onjezani saxophone ndi monga, gwirani. Mukudziwa? Ndiyeno ife tikhoza kuyesa izo ndi kuzisuntha izo mozungulira, ndi kupeza zinthu zomwe zimagwira ntchito. 

Kelly McNeely: Inde, ndiyo njira yabwino yofotokozera. Zili ngati Goblin ndi saxophone. Ndi kwambiri, ngati, Suspiria nthawi zina. Ingoponyerapo sakisi kenako ndikuponya nyanga pamenepo. 

Alex Phillips: Eya, eya, tinayamba Goblin. Ndiyeno timapita nthawi zonse, monga, zamagetsi zamagetsi. Ndipo ziri penapake pakati apo.

Chifukwa chake, inde, ndikutanthauza, zomwe zidachitika ndizakuti, awa ndi anthu onse omwe ndidagwirapo nawo ntchito m'mbuyomu, ndiye anali odzipereka komanso otsika pazifukwa zake. Kotero zinali ngati, iwo analidi otchipa kapena aulere. Ndipo zida zonse zinali zaulere, ndipo tinalandira ndalama, ndiyeno ngongole ya kirediti kadi. 

Ndipo ndidachitanso zinthu zanga zamakanema, chifukwa ndidatha kutenga - chifukwa cha COVID - ndidatenga zaka zitatu kapena kupitilira apo kuti ndimalize. Panthawi ina ndimangotumiza malipiro anga muakaunti kuti ndilipire zinthu zina. Ndipo kotero ndikungoyika zonse pamodzi pakapita nthawi kuti zitheke.
