Description

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. As the creator as one of the most acclaimed podcasts of the past decade -- Dead Eyes, cited by TIME Magazine & Left Of Dial Media's lists of the "best 100 podcasts of all time" and featured in the book The Podcast Pantheon, published by Chronicle Books in 2025 -- it should be clear that this podcast will not attempt to achieve the same level of quality or acclaim as that one. 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.   Thank you for engaging with CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS: THE PODCAST in any way.  We realize that you have an overwhelming amount of options for entertainment, education and simply passing the time.  You could be listening to the works of the greatest composers or musicians of all time, reading the finest works of cinema or literature, or even listening to a better class of podcast.  Every second that you waste listening to this one if an unfathomable choice and greatly appreciated.  I will try to be interesting and apologize if I am not.

2026/01/31
I answer why the title of my show has "CONNOR RATLIFF presents" at the front of it, when all of my other projects do NOT have that credit baked into the title?  A detailed answer to a very good question!

Ep 13: Low ticket sales, the Future and other topics
2026/01/06
A time-sensitive episode about the show I'm doing on January 11, 2026.  Ticket sales are slow, and there is the danger of cancelation, which has me in a melancholy mood.  An ill-advised episode that I almost didn't release, and which I might DELETE!  Is it just me whining?  Or is it me being philosophical about failure?  I truly don't know!

NYC or L.A.?  Are they worth it?  Should you move there to become an actor?  A complicated answer to a complicated question!
Ep 9: "What is the puuuuuuurfect distance from the mic?"
2026/01/05
I answer a technical question!  Is my answer even borderline acceptable?  Listen and find out!
Ep 8: "A request for Finn Wolfhard to be a guest"
2026/01/05
A listener makes a request for FINN WOLFHARD to be a guest on CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS.  I talk a little bit about the possible future of CRpTAC as a show, including WHO might be guest on it!

2026/01/05
A question about any "nightmare actors" I have had to work with!
