I'm w/Marty, here, John.

The story of Sir John Gielgud's interaction with Dustin Hoffman on the set of "Marathon Man" has become a legendary tale in Hollywood lore.

During the filming of a scene where Hoffman's character is supposed to look exhausted, Hoffman reportedly stayed up all night to achieve the desired disheveled appearance. Gielgud, renowned for his classical acting training and professionalism, observed Hoffman's method and famously quipped, "Why not try acting, dear boy? It's much easier."

I mention this to remind you, John, that emotions can be faked, and the end result can be we, the audience, feel via empathy, those emotions, whether real or faked. Two great actors: one fakes the emotion (Gielgud), one experiences it and shares it (Hoffman), both can evoke a range of emotions in an audience.

If one wants emotional music, one can prompt for it in various ways, in Udio.

But I apologize...I never realized I have such an "inner salesman" in me. Why do I need you to be interested in Udio? I don't know. If you are comfortable with how you create, why try anything new or different? But DON'T NOT try it cuz you think all the results will be lacking emotion. The emotions are in US. Some machines can emulate stronger emotions than some of the people I know, LOL!
