320 - Shavvon Lin - Actress, Singer - Dubbing A $700M Box Office Film, Developing Authentic Characters, And Why Artists Are Responsible To Reflect Society
Hello, Hello!
In this episode, we have a conversation with Actress and Singer Shavvon Lin. We talk about how she sold her Chinese parents on being an artist, approaching auditions like a job, surviving the trauma of living through “one-child” laws in China, how she protects herself from the character’s trauma, why good work is a fix for the appropriation in film problem, her experience dubbing a $700M box office film, and the challenge of feeling like she’s not American enough for audiences. Enjoy!
