by CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS
CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS is an ongoing series of live and filmed performances which pretend to be real acting classes. This companion podcast features professional actor/comedian CONNOR RATLIFF talking about the show and about acting in general. This podcast is going to be a sloppy mess. It was conceived in desperation, as a way to attract attention to an ongoing series of live shows and online videos while struggling to maintain a consistent level of employment as a working actor in desperate times. It is possible that almost no one will listen to this podcast, or that a small number of people might sample it once and never listen again. Minus the celebrity hook of Dead Eyes, it may be that the appeal of this endeavor will be as low as double or single digit listenership. Which is fine. It's 2025 and time is marching on, and life is rapidly slipping away from all of us. Every second that you waste listening to this one is an unfathomable choice and greatly appreciated. I will try to be interesting and apologize if I am not.

New Steven Spielberg movie I auditioned for... and I did **NOT** book the role! But there is always HOPE for the FUTURE! Allow me to unpack the process a teeny-tiny bit...
Longest episode yet! The first half is deep-dive stuff about the Del Close Marathon, the multi-day, multi-stage improv festival which just returned to NYC for the first time in close to a decade! Then I pivot to the recent controversy about who can call themselves a "New Yorker." I talked too long! But then again, what is the point of this thing, anyway, if not to talk too long?
how my brain work?
I just finished a week of touring with Comedy Bang! Bang! and somebody asked me a question about how that whole thing works!
As promised: expanded rambling thoughts regarding one of my favorite characters of all time: Miles Drentell. I recorded this one while very tired, so I don't remember all the different things I veered off-topic about!
I saw a clip of Melissa Villaseñor talking about her post-SNL experience, and it got me thinking.
2 mostly unconnected concepts: will I ever perform in Australia, and are there ways for people to support my various creative endeavors?
A re-record of an episode I recorded 2 days earlier (walking through London) which proved unlistenable. This is me talking about the same things in the quiet of my Earl's Court hotel room late at night. Buckingham Palace & St James Park are the central topics, though of course I ramble.
