I exert so much energy that I get 127 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: a little light hitt and I'm like, oh wait, because 128 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: I didn't you forget how much energy you have to 129 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: put into it. But to like when I was younger, 130 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: was the first time that I have I was doing 131 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: a TV show and I was doing animation at the 132 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: same time, The Proud Family the first time around, and 133 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: I used to love it. But I used to lose 134 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: my voice all the time, and I didn't realize that, 135 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, as a young actor, I was thinking about 136 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: like my facial expressions and how I was looking. But 137 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: then when I got behind the microphone, I didn't have 138 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: to worry about that, and I think I was able 139 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: to become like Sillier and Goofier and just making the 140 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: faces in order to get out whatever I needed to 141 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: get out, you know. So that kind of affected me, 142 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and so now I don't know how to not look silly. 143 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: We've talked before about how essentially every actor is insecure, 144 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: and you're especially when you're on camera, You're worried about 145 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: how I'm looking, what I'm doing and then when you 146 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: get behind the microphone, there's just this freedom of the 147 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: acting where it doesn't matter exactly what you said, it 148 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how you look, doesn't matter how people are perceiving. 149 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: You just get to just act like you're a kid 150 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: again in front of a microphone, and it's just absolutely wonderful. 151 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: It's it's amazing. What's crazy is like the first time 152 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: I did it, I was I was fourteen, and of 153 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: course we all have our issues. Always tell people like, look, 154 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: we're actors, were very unstable, just just deal with it, okay. 155 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: But I was like, at first, I was like, wait, 156 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: my voice sounds crazy. Like now, because you couldn't see me, 157 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: I was finding something else wrong with me, something else 158 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: that where I didn't like, and so I didn't really 159 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 1: like my voice and I was like, oh my gosh, 160 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: how am I doing voice over? This is not gonna work. 161 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: They're gonna fire me, Like, oh my voice sounds crazy. 162 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: And then after doing this show, I'm like so many 163 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: people my voice is so distinctive, and so many people 164 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: love my voice, and it kind of made me be like, okay, 165 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: stop picking it yourself, stop picking it every little thing, 166 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: like everything about you is how it's supposed to be. 167 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: And ultimately it made me stop finding reasons or things 168 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: that I didn't like and it was like, let it go, 169 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: Like you're making up stuff. Now, that's amazing. Yeah, I 170 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: think people forget that because we were we were quote 171 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: unquote child actors. We're still just people growing up and 172 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: we have the same issues that every other person has 173 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: growing up. We're just doing it in front of everybody else. Absolutely, 174 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: And I'm I'm always a very big mental health advocate 175 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: and I'm always talking to people about you know, realizing 176 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: and recognizing that people that a lot of people put 177 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: on these pedestals and it's like, no, no, we're human 178 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: beings and we're experiencing the same things that you've experienced, 179 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: and sometimes most of the time at a heightened level, 180 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's more intense, you know, and it's 181 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: just I'm like, hey, we're normal people. We go through 182 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: crazy things and we're extremely insecure about everything we do. 183 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: So now it's like everything is amplified. And so but 184 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: I think as a as a kid in this business, 185 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: once you recognize that, you go, okay, I'm tripping, don't 186 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: don't don't make fun of yourself or don't down yourself, 187 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I'm I've always been 188 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: super self aware, so I realized as when I'm doing 189 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: it to me and so yeah, I think that's amazing 190 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: working on it. I think, well, I think you gotta 191 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to work on that for entire lives. Um. 192 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: And so this is a perfect I was going to 193 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: get into the mental health stuff a little bit later, 194 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: but this is, uh, you know, a perfect place to 195 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: do it since you mentioned it, because I've been open 196 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: about the fact that when I was about twenty three, 197 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: I got hit with an anxiety disorder that totally changed 198 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: the course of my life. And you talk about that 199 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: as much as you can, because talking about it is 200 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: one of the most important things you can do. I 201 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: would argue it is the most important thing you can 202 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: do for for your positive mental health is being okay 203 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: about you know, speaking about it when you have to, 204 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: when you can with anybody who's dealing with it. So 205 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: how did you get into the whole kind of world 206 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: of mental health advocacy? UM? I feel like I kind 207 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: of just fell into it. I have UM, I've always 208 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: questioned certain things about me, but I was always very 209 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: uh confident, like out loud. As a kid. UM, I 210 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: didn't really beat myself up up too much. It was 211 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: little things here and there. But as I got older 212 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: and I became a mom, I started to question, UM 213 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: so many things. I started to be nervous that I 214 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be the best mom, and um I was. 215 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: I was. I was putting pressure on myself and knowing 216 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: that there were so many things that I can do 217 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: and say that I can put on my children and 218 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: they can ultimately affect them mentally, and I just became overwhelmed. 219 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: And when I had my youngest daughter, UM, she was premature, 220 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: and I realized that I started feeling negative all the time. 221 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: Like I am the most positive. I find the good 222 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: in everything. And I really started to like be like, 223 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: you're not good for this, You're not able to do this, 224 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: and I'd be like no, no, no, no, no, what 225 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: where where is this coming from? So my positivity was 226 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: fighting off the negative thoughts and I just, you know, 227 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: I didn't feel myself for so long. And when I 228 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: started to slowly feel myself again, I said, this is 229 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: something that I should talk about, like in interviews or 230 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: with other people, because I know that other people are 231 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: going through these things, and if you hear someone talking 232 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: about it, it helps you feel not alone. Um, if 233 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: you're struggling through the process, and I think to me, 234 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: a mental health like that's something that can help nourish 235 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: other people is knowing that someone else is experiencing the 236 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: same feelings that you're feeling and you're not alone in 237 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: this feeling. It doesn't last forever, and take deep breaths 238 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: and it's okay, You're not abnormal. And I think it's 239 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: always been taboo because everyone wanted to seem perfect. Everyone's perfect, 240 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: we are or we're celebrities. Were supposed to have the 241 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: best skin and the best hair and all of this 242 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: money that's gonna handle all of our problems. So people 243 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: look at you like, who do you think you are 244 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: having issues? Or who do you think you are? You? Oh, 245 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: you have anxiety? Like you have a good life, because 246 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: they see what we show them. And I constantly am 247 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: trying to let people know, like, no, baby, I have days, Okay, 248 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't want I want to lay down, I am 249 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: overworking myself, or I need to make time for certain things, 250 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: or all of a sudden, now feel anxiety and I'll 251 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: be like, what is going on? And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, 252 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm just having anxiety. I have to take deep breaths 253 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: and and when you start to recognize it and you 254 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: become more aware of how you're feeling, you know, it 255 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: helps you get out of this. It's a lifelong journey 256 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: for all of us. And I think constantly telling people 257 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: you're not alone, and these people who you think have 258 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: it all together are going through a similar things, so 259 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: just it's okay, you know, no, I agree. I think 260 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: it's amazing, and I also think i'm One of the 261 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: things I talked about a lot is the fact that 262 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: I personally believe that social media has not helped at 263 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: all because it is one of those things where everybody's 264 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: putting out that they're having their best life, and everybody's 265 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: looking at it thinking, wow, all these people's lives are 266 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: so much better than mine, when in reality, everybody's going 267 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: through their own stuff. I mean, just like you said, 268 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't matter how many fault. We won't 269 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: even get into the fact that they're called followers, but 270 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: how many uh you know, people are are watching you 271 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: and thinking to themselves, well, yeah, that your their life 272 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: is perfect. They're working all the time and you have 273 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: to kind of remind them like, no, we're we're all 274 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: real people and we're all going through the same stuff. 275 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: And um, just like you said, nothing helped me with 276 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: my anxiety more than talking about it and and other 277 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: people talking about there's because just like you said, then 278 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: you know you're not alone. You know that there's other 279 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: people out there going through exactly what you are. So 280 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: I cannot applaud you enough for bringing that to the 281 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: forefront because it's it's hugely important. Thank you. I did 282 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: an interview recently and I didn't realize that I I 283 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: felt that way with social media. Like I always say, 284 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I didn't talk UK during that time 285 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: and having kids right now during that time, it's like 286 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm holding off as long as possible. But I had 287 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: told someone recently I was like, you know, growing up, 288 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: my mom always told us like movies and TV, that's entertainment, 289 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: not real life. This is entertainment. These people are not real. 290 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: This is just to entertain you. And so it kind 291 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: of helped me not think like, oh, watching a certain movie, 292 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: that's how I'm supposed to add to These are things 293 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to do. So now I'm kind of letting 294 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: people know, like, hey, social media is entertainment. That's all 295 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: it is. It's entertainment. It's entertainment. I'm like I'm today, 296 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what's the best picture I can post? 297 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: And every once in a while, I go, Okay, I 298 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: need to post a picture with my makeup not done. 299 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: So when people see me when I'm not doing interviews 300 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: and stuff, they know Tyler is not like this all 301 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: day every day. It's not happening. My favorite way to 302 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: be is hair on the pony's tail, face washed, moisturized, 303 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: sweats on, and chilling. So in a while I'm like, dang, 304 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: I haven't posted anything like that recently. I gotta do that. 305 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: I gotta make sures like the normal. Yeah, because that's 306 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: what it is. Again, one of the best things I 307 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: ever different my anxieties. I erased all my social media. 308 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: It's been almost three years and it's been just wonderful. 309 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: So I always say, you know what they're saying about 310 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: the saying about me on the internet, because I don't. 311 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know it's and that's 312 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: hard because I remember I saw something recently where it 313 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: was like my name come came up in something and 314 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: I was like what, Like, I'm not even and I 315 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: had to go get alone let it go.

I'm really big on address saying 317 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: like people, but in the social media world, it's like 318 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: there's no points.

It really 380 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: was phenomenal. They had four or five in a row 381 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: there where they just kept getting better. It seemed like 382 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: I love it. Just it felt like, I think, just 383 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: reminding us of magic, you know, like we never we 384 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: if you could have three wishes, what would you want? 385 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: And then the street street rats trying to Um, trying 386 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: to con him into more wishes and getting him. I 387 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: love everything about it. And I think also for me, 388 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: I think that movie was like I saw other movies 389 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: as a kid, but I feel like that was for 390 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: me where I felt the first time seeing like someone 391 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: with brown skin, and so it made me feel I 392 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: felt more relatable to the character. And uh so I 393 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: think that's why that's the first one that popped into 394 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: my head. That's incredible. I love that. Okay, so then 395 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: how did you find voiceover where you know?

So 402 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: how did you find v O? What's crazy is that 403 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: I started auditioning for voiceovers, and I was like, why 404 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: my voice is weird? And I was like, not knowing 405 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: that that's a good thing for your voice to be 406 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: weird in that in that in that area. But um, yeah, 407 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: I just I auditioned for the Proud Family and it 408 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: just so happened that the character looked like me and um, 409 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: and then I I hopped on board.
