Cynthia’s reasoning for not wanting to sing certain songs is so eye-opening, and it also makes me appreciate her singing “I’m Here’” on Terrell’s Show even more. She’s so right - we tend to forget that singers are actually human beings who sometimes have to put themselves in the appropriate emotional state to execute certain songs.
"You don't realize how much a person has gone through until you start trying to retrace their steps." - Cynthia Erivo
This is a brilliant interview Alfred Woodard is a mentor
Alfre has this way of elevating any setting she's in. ❤
And the only reason I came to this video.
i could listen to cynthia’s voice forever, it’s so soft and gentle, it feels like what it feels like when someone plays with your hair😌
I don't know who you are or what you do. But know this! Just from that descriptive phrase, I sense that there's an artist in you. A writer maybe? If you haven't realised it as yet, take the time to sit with yourself, to sit within yourself for a period of discovery.🙂
I loved the opportunity to hear from Alfre Woodard. I've always felt like she is such a vessel of knowledge and experience. This conversation between these two was amazing.
Two beaultiful and talented women having a nice chat.
M. Souza Absolutely Beautiful❤️
Alfre Woodard is timeless
Cynthia is an icon, God’s creation indeed! An angel on earth that we’ve been blessed with. What a gift, what an honor to hear her sing! Wow!
cynthia's voice is sooooo soothing and beautiful, graceful, warm... i could listen to her talk forever
And if you think her Speaking voice is great, just wait until you hear her sing....
Alfre Woodard can get it! She's beautiful.
Brilliant thespians of different generations showing the range within their craft, well done variety.
Cynthia has such a beautiful way of speaking and her voice is so calming. Both are incredibly talented!
I love seeing these two beautiful, talented Black women together. They have to do a movie or a play or something. I could totally see them as Mother & daughter... ❤
Yes!! I'd love to see that ❤

I took a couple of lessons away from this interview, but the most profound one:
Cynthia's sitting posture- leaning forward so as to capture every word from the legendary Ms. Woodard😊.
She's goona go far with this kind of humility.
In case you needed another reason to love this Actors on Actors series. Well done Variety, WELL DONE
Two jewels and phenomenal women, Cynthia Erivo and Alfre Woodard. Thank you for sharing this. I love how eager and appreciative of Ms. Woodard's career you can see in Ms. Erivo. This is a great respect that the younger generation should have for the older generation of actors. This sister is the real deal from the UK. #Salute
That's what makes her so powerful, she doesn't sing from a shallow place to just entertain people but with Conviction and purpose. She sings to inspire and then entertain.
Woodward has such an elegant and polished presence wherever she is, such an eloquent woman with a mesmerizing voice.
Alfre Woodard is a beautiful women inside and out. That was an incredible meeting of two amazing artists. I'm on a Cynthia Enrivo binge right now. I want to know more and more about her. Thanks for making this conversation happen.
Love seeing my Two Favorite people together❤️ Alfred Woodard + Cynthia Erivo
I wasn't ready for it to end!!!!😭❤☺ great time with these two beautiful souls✨💫
'We already do. We just need to make it official' :-) Love Alfre.
That hand clap they did made me feel like I was chilling with my friends 😁
This is dream pairing; I clicked so quick on this video!!
This discussion was beautiful and powerful. Cynthia Erivo inspires me.
Two amazing women. Such a great conversation between them both. Love how much they love their art.
Goodness two beautiful women! Variety you are killing it with these pairings!
Beautiful beautiful pairing. Wonderful women, wise and heartfelt words. I’m very moved!
There's been some brilliant pairing this awards season on Actors on Actors, this one being yet another one of them. Bravo, Variety (corrected from previous mistake which credited Vanity Fair. 😶)
Vanity Fair?
@@lilypoon1175 oops!! 😶 thank you for pointing out the embarrassing fubar!
Alfre woodard is one my favorite actresses of all time!! She is so underrated & underworked in my eyes. Don’t get me wrong she works but not enough i love watching her !! She worked with damn near every actor in the world & doesn’t get the recognition. She’s a queen !!!
OMG!!!!!! Two beautiful, talented black queens! I love watching these videos.
Great conversation.
Beautiful talented women
I was waiting for Alfre to say “pot to piss in”, and she didn’t disappoint.
This should have way more views, from just raw talent alone. But lemme tell you, baby. These women! Imagine being this gorgeous. The class, the poise, the honest insight. What a privilege to see this.
Alfre Woodward is one of my favorite black actresses since the 1980s when she costarred on the TV series St elsewhere with Denzel Washington.
This is by far my favorite actor on actor interview. Two queens who are the similar by quite different too broadening my perspective and knowledge of this wonderful art called acting. This is the moment I realize who I want to be.
Cynthia Erivo, brought me to a place! Memories flowed as I heard her sing Stand Up. I never played attention until then. I am writing a book about my childhood, miracles in my life, my predator, my funny time, my children. I have at least 10 books to write and I am 70 yrs old. I need really know about my people until I heard her sing. I used sing too. Thank you for making me feel again! Love ya Dee
“Picasso put the eyes in front of the face” Lmfaooo that was funny as hell that was a good example 6:05
Alfre looks amazing!!!
This is masterclass. I'm blown away.
My favourite segment on variety is back! It feels so good to watch all these interviews
Cynthia talking to living legend and hopeful mentor Alfre Woodard. Wow what a video.
What a great treat listening to these two great women ❤️
The picture symbolizes the shoulders we stand on, beautiful xx
Black girls/women ROCK!
Great interview!!! ☺️
Thoroughly enjoyed this video with two Amazing Actresses.
I could watch these two talk all day! I enjoyed every bit of this
That has been such a great conversation!
Thank you Variety for this series. As an actress, I can always find new tools and new ideas to make me better. This series and Roundtable always reminds me that entertainers are people too and there is always something in their story that I can relate to. And when I can relate to their stories, I feel a sense of affirmation, that I belong here. Thank you for that.
Such an amazing pairing with these two!
You both were open to learn and show each other who and what you are
.
This is a beautiful and eye opening interview.
Have always thought Alfre is one of the most beautiful people. She has not aged a bit. And Ms. Erivo's Aretha was a monumental achievement. Both are great actresses.
Two powerhouse actors !!
what a gift
Alfre is a treasure. Such an incredible talent.
Great conversation 👍 to listen to while getting ready for work!!!!!
“ i can memorize passages " I learn my lines in hair and makeup- gifted lady
This was just simply one of favorites
So awesome
Love this show
Isn’t Cynthia just lovable??!!!❤️❤️❤️
“My favorite place to be in the world is between ‘action and cut’. “
Yaaaaaaas!!! 🙌🏾
ONLY she can say such & have a choir of believers!!😊
I love your talents. You are awesome.
Ugh, I love these two. Seeing them together makes me wonder why Alfre didn’t play Harriet’s mother in the movie.
You are both so amazing!!!!!!!!!
This is so good.
Love Alfre
Oh my goodness they are so naturally beautiful!!!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯💯💯Beautiful and, Gorgeous Actress of Creation.
Cyntia your voice is great, but your soul is even greatest.
So graceful 👸🏽💖
Her argument scene with Patrick Stewart in Star Trek First Contact brought me here. "Jean Luc blow up that damn ship"!!! :)
@14:11 Alfre Woodard: (paraphrase): "As a singer do you feel that people just want to hear your voice as a singer, or do they want YOU?" Cynthia's response is honest, and what I have always felt in my heart, as an Operatically trained Singer: "They want the VOICE, and how that makes them feel. They do not really care about you." I think that Singers who can acknowledge this fact, and do what Cynthia did (as explained in her response) are the key to a long-standing Singing career. The Singer MUST take care of themselves, first and foremost. The public WILL ALWAYS BE THERE as long as you can move them with your singing.
Im watching still
God bless
I LOVE ALFRE
This video should have more views...
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!
These women
cool tones and warm tones.
Lily Poon exactly I wonder why they did that
MRS. ALFRE THANK YOU!!! I WISHED MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE PUSHED ME TO SING BUT SHE HATED ME TO SING SO I STOPPED!!!
Cynthia is so much younger than Alfred but I kept waiting for her to go allllllllll the way back and ask her about how she prepared as a young actress for her role in The Burning Bed. This was a great sit down tho!
Great intetv
2 Beautiful Black Queens On 1 Screen❤🙌
Alfre Woodard and Cynthia Erivo. These women are Actors actors. Meaning, when actors look to previous actors to study? Alfre has BEEN that one, for years. Moving into 2024, with the Kennedy Center's Honor for Ms. Dionne Warick under her belt, and a future co-starring role in "Wicked" the movie, Ms. Erivo has now joined the ranks of those future generations will look to for guidance in stellar work. 😀
Two Fabulous Women
They should do a movie together. Would be awesome! African ancient queens.
2 Great Actresses speak on RealTalk
I can totally relate to that weird phase that Cynthia was talking about. When it was time to focus on what I wanted to become, the more practical professions was what was pushed. I heard it from most of my peers. There was only one classmate who knew she wanted to be a stripper. However, I knew I wanted to be in theatre to act and sing. However, I didn't want to be a starving artist. When it came to picking a major in college, I still didn't know what to do. My mom suggested communications and that my minor be music performance and that's what I did. I ended up changing my minor to English Comp to graduate "on time" and because I loved stories. Last year, I started acting professionally. I have dreams of being on Cats, Wicked, and Lion King.
Righteous
I never saw this one?! Found it searching for Alfre
👏🏾👏🏾💜
Anyone else feel warm and secure after watching this?? 🙋🏽♀️
Excellent. CYN. LUV. 1
Alfre Woodard should be the front runner for the Oscar but for whatever reasons is Renee. At least, I hope she gets the nomination because I'm not sure if she will get in.
@Diego Pisfil The nomination will be her reward.
Diego Pisfil you mean the award winnoa Ryder should have won😂.
