									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The real key to conversation is a genuine interest in the people you’re talking with. One can feign interest, and make some headway; but if you truly *are* interested, that will show through, and give by far the best and most profitable conversations. Just as we, as voice actors, talk about *being real* in our assignments, we need to be real IRL, too.</p>
