Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Spirited Actor Podcast with me
Speaker 1: Tracy Moore. I was a casting director for film and
Speaker 1: TV and commercials for over thirty years. I transitioned to
Speaker 1: a celebrity acting coach after I cast a film New
Speaker 1: Jersey Drive with executive producers Spike Lee and director Nick Domez.
Speaker 1: I auditioned every rapper from biggiees Balls to Tupac, and
Speaker 1: I realized that rappers and musical artists they needed help
Speaker 1: transitioning to acting. My clients consist of musical artists from
Speaker 1: Buster Rhymes to Eve, Missy Elliott, Angela Yee from The
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, and Vanessa Simmons to name a few. I
Speaker 1: also coach sports stars and host as well. I feel
Speaker 1: I have the best of both worlds. As a casting director,
Speaker 1: I know exactly what they're looking for, and as an
Speaker 1: acting coach, I can coach you to be remembered in
Speaker 1: that room.
Speaker 2: Now I know.
Speaker 1: I know actors want to get the job. I get that,
Speaker 1: but being remembered by a casting director that is powerful.
Speaker 3: And now it's time for meditation of the day. Breathe then,
Speaker 3: I calm my body, breathe out, I smile.
Speaker 2: Anonymous. When is enough enough.
Speaker 3: I ask myself this every single day, not for myself,
Speaker 3: but just for the world in general. Like, if we're honest,
Speaker 3: America has a lot and we have a lot of
Speaker 3: excess of food, of products, things right. My question is,
Speaker 3: if peace and happiness and love is what you're seeking
Speaker 3: in this life, and we only know of this life,
Speaker 3: then we have to have a conversation with ourselves to
Speaker 3: let us ourselves.
Speaker 2: Know that when enough is enough, when we don't have.
Speaker 3: To strive so hard, work so hard, think so hard,
Speaker 3: live so hard. When we can just know that this
Speaker 3: amount of money is good and this house or condo,
Speaker 3: whatever it is that you have that you are blessed
Speaker 3: to live in is good, then we can seek peace.
Speaker 3: But every day is literally a rat race to where
Speaker 3: and we have to answer that question so that we
Speaker 3: can create calmness in our soul and we can live
Speaker 3: peacefully and love. Today, I will believe that love, peace
Speaker 3: and happiness truly exists when you know that enough is enough.
Speaker 3: Before we get started, I like to remind everyone to
Speaker 3: go to Crackle Network to use the Evans one and
Speaker 3: two of my show Inside the Black Box that I
Speaker 3: co host with the Great Emmy Award winning Joe Morton.
Speaker 3: Look out for news on season three soon. Welcome to
Speaker 3: the Spirited Actor Podcast with me Tracy Moore. I am
Speaker 3: beyond excited. Like you guys don't understand, when you meet
Speaker 3: people and your soul and spirit are familiar, it is
Speaker 3: a confirmation that that is the energy that.
Speaker 2: You want to and need to be around. And that's
Speaker 2: what I felt when I met this woman.
Speaker 3: And I and I have to say this too because
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever said this to her.
Speaker 2: But like I know, when I meet actors. Does that
Speaker 2: make sense? I know when I meet actors, but I
Speaker 2: felt like I felt, I feel like I met.
Speaker 3: The person first and then I was on the set like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, you enacted. So anyway, I'm not gonna I'm
Speaker 3: not going to delay this introduction because you are going
Speaker 3: to feel exactly the same way I do after this
Speaker 3: interview conversation. Ladies and gentlemen, Please my new friend, my actress,
Speaker 3: she was Fiefe in the Lifetime movie Abduction at NHBCU,
Speaker 3: please put chance together for Alexis Austria cup.
Speaker 4: All right ya, everybody?
Speaker 2: Can I do it?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, we have to. You know, I was
Speaker 2: going over this.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, let's see there we go, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: So, as I said in May, they.
Speaker 3: Were shooting fifteen days in Atlanta, Georgia and so cool
Speaker 3: on you know, the Moorhouse and Spellman campuses. Historically it
Speaker 3: was beautiful. My first night, well pretty much. I think
Speaker 3: all of our days were night shoots. And so when
Speaker 3: we do night shoots, you're leaving actors around three o'clock
Speaker 3: in the afternoon and then you come back to your
Speaker 3: hotel or your space around you know, nine am in
Speaker 3: the morning sometimes right, Yes, but I want to talk
Speaker 3: about because this was what my takeaway from the whole
Speaker 3: production was.
Speaker 2: Is how you shoot a featured film.
Speaker 3: Now in fifteen days? And for you, what was your
Speaker 3: process when you got casts and then the contract? Where
Speaker 3: because actors asked this, where do you start studying and working?
Speaker 2: You know? And then what is that process until you
Speaker 2: get on the set.
Speaker 4: So my first concern is when I do good books,
Speaker 4: so yay and thank you Leslie Green. Shout out to
Speaker 4: Leslie Green for casting. Yes, yes, and so yeah. So
Speaker 4: the first thing I I you know, I ask for
Speaker 4: is the script because I want to read the script
Speaker 4: in its entirety. So I can understand, you know, the
Speaker 4: vibe and everything like that, because I feel like sometimes,
Speaker 4: I mean all the time, when you just read that
Speaker 4: certain part before you film, you miss a lot of
Speaker 4: how you could build a character or how you know,
Speaker 4: you could present yourself in the film. So that would
Speaker 4: be my step every time when I do. And Plus
Speaker 4: I love I love the you know, I love the scenery,
Speaker 4: and I love the you know, thinking about, oh, what's
Speaker 4: going to happen and then getting on set and be like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is a little different than what I thought.
Speaker 2: So I love that.
Speaker 4: And then in regards to like, you know, uh, contracts
Speaker 4: and stuff, Luckily I have an agent who takes care
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 3: So and I was gonna say to alexis that when
Speaker 3: you said the first thing I asked for is a script.
Speaker 3: I just want to make it clear actors, if you
Speaker 3: do not have an agent or a manager, it is
Speaker 3: very rare that you get to the script. So that
Speaker 3: is why she had asked us to the script, and
Speaker 3: she had someone to negotiate her contracts.
Speaker 6: Because she has an agent. Yes, So I just wanted
Speaker 6: to throw that in. Yes, shout out to say it again,
Speaker 6: I said, shout out.
Speaker 4: To Baron entertainment, my agency who got me deducted at
Speaker 4: HBCU as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, one of this is so in alignment.
Speaker 3: But I was thinking to the other day and preparing
Speaker 3: for my I do give love just talking about gratitude
Speaker 3: and the way that you are giving these shout outs
Speaker 3: like this to me. You know, the energy that you
Speaker 3: put out is the energy that you give and this
Speaker 3: is your spirit. Have you found because in your you know,
Speaker 3: tell us about because my thing again is fifteen days.
Speaker 3: What was your experience? You you prep one way at home,
Speaker 3: but then when you get to the set, what was different?
Speaker 3: What was you know, what did you feel you didn't
Speaker 3: have time for, like because fifteen days, like I come
Speaker 3: from I'm old school, four to six weeks if you
Speaker 3: have a good budget.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, so fifteen days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, definitely it was definitely sped up. But the
Speaker 4: you know, the thing I feel like I did also
Speaker 4: a lot of like relaxation, meditation also in addition, so
Speaker 4: I wasn't so like a little bit you know, nervous,
Speaker 4: because I was a little nervous for a second, but
Speaker 4: then I realized, Yeah, I realized that I'm just going
Speaker 4: to enjoy myself and not overthink it and just be
Speaker 4: the character. But in regards to preparation, having only fifteen days,
Speaker 4: I spent most of my mornings before my shoot just
Speaker 4: restudying the lines, restudying the lines and restudying you know,
Speaker 4: the parts beforehand, and so I kind of know where
Speaker 4: my mindset will be. So it's a lot of if
Speaker 4: you don't have too much prep time, which is like
Speaker 4: luki Ley for the people who film for to six weeks,
Speaker 4: they got a lot more prep time. They can do
Speaker 4: the character more and all that stuff. You know, you
Speaker 4: just have to consistently work and you know, you just
Speaker 4: keep building yourself. But when you truly love something like this,
Speaker 4: it's like it's kind of like almost a cake walk,
Speaker 4: but not saying it like like cocky or anything, but
Speaker 4: it's if you love it, here, it's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 4: be fine, and you just keep working hard and have
Speaker 4: your mind focused on it, you'll be fine. But yeah,
Speaker 4: just make sure to keep understand also when you are
Speaker 4: on set, things can be thrown differently at you. So
Speaker 4: they can change a whole thing, yes, and take out
Speaker 4: a whole part of the script, and you'll have to
Speaker 4: write then and there two seconds you better catch that
Speaker 4: real quick. But no worries. Once you relax and everything,
Speaker 4: you'll get it just fine.
Speaker 3: Yes, and this is really important, really important. And talking
Speaker 3: to these actors who are listening to you now. For
Speaker 3: those of you who have not seen the film Lifetime
Speaker 3: Abduction at an HVCU, I would encourage you to see
Speaker 3: this film because excuse me, Fifie, I mean, look, Fifi,
Speaker 3: I believe alexis Alexis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 3: Can you tell them how you prepared for Fifi, because
Speaker 3: give them a little of your background, because that is
Speaker 3: not you.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I yeah. So for Fifi, it's she's such
Speaker 4: a she's she went through a lot in her past
Speaker 4: in order to get to where she is now. So
Speaker 4: she she also I don't know if I should say
Speaker 4: any spoilers or anything.
Speaker 2: Should I say spoilers? Well, but it's but but you
Speaker 2: introduced yourself like that, you know what I mean. We're
Speaker 2: not talking anything else?
Speaker 4: Yeah, gotcha, yes, definitely, So, yeah, prepare for Fife. It's
Speaker 4: just so I'm usually a goofy person, but Fefee is
Speaker 4: a little bit more serious about the business because her
Speaker 4: task is to make sure these girls are okay, and
Speaker 4: that is I mean, at moments when the task at
Speaker 4: hand me as a person, I do that as well.
Speaker 4: But otherwise I'm a very goofy person. I love you know,
Speaker 4: I love joking around. I love life, and life is
Speaker 4: amazing and fantastic and I'm so blessed to be alive.
Speaker 4: And so with Fifi, I had to just always my
Speaker 4: concern the girls in the back of my head, so
Speaker 4: serious mode was always on hand. I didn't have any
Speaker 4: joking mode. I had a task to do. I had
Speaker 4: to get, you know, help these girls, and that was
Speaker 4: one of my it. And then I had to deal
Speaker 4: with the pain of my past, which is still healing,
Speaker 4: so of the fife of the fife of the fee.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I have to say that, you know, when
Speaker 3: we were shooting the first scene, which was really the
Speaker 3: first introduction of the.
Speaker 2: Two of you, the weight, like, I kept saying to myself,
Speaker 2: she can't.
Speaker 3: She had a camera in you guys, like just a
Speaker 3: regular Panasonic or Cannon camera, and it had a strap
Speaker 3: and she was carrying it on her shoulder, and then
Speaker 3: she had a bag, and I kept saying to myself,
Speaker 3: you look so way down, but it's not the camera
Speaker 3: and it's not the bag, it's your history.
Speaker 2: Yes, you wore to me, you wore the pain, the
Speaker 2: healing because.
Speaker 3: I'm not going I really encourage you guys to watch
Speaker 3: this because what her past entailed.
Speaker 2: You, that's not.
Speaker 3: Something that I don't know if you truly to recover
Speaker 3: from that, because it's a daily back there unless you go,
Speaker 3: you know, get hypnotized to erase that from your memory.
Speaker 3: Like I can't imagine you not not thinking about it
Speaker 3: sometime during.
Speaker 2: The day, you know. So that's the first thing I
Speaker 2: saw on you before I.
Speaker 3: Met you was the weight that you were carrying, you know,
Speaker 3: your overcoat.
Speaker 2: It just everything just looked like it was just weighing
Speaker 2: on you right, right.
Speaker 3: But then when you spoke, that's when you could that's
Speaker 3: when you felt the passion and like the commitment that
Speaker 3: you made to yourself, yes, that you were going to
Speaker 3: be a part of this and save these and and
Speaker 3: you know, I mean it was lifetime, right, Alexis. So
Speaker 3: it was like it was.
Speaker 2: A little safe, right.
Speaker 3: But yes, I talked to someone who's an investigator that
Speaker 3: said to me, I said to him, don't these men
Speaker 3: have mothers, sisters, daughters, He said, Tracy, they paid them
Speaker 3: enough to forget they have mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts.
Speaker 2: That's yeah.
Speaker 3: So even if you were doing that research just to
Speaker 3: get that in your head, like where do you have
Speaker 3: to go? And not go too far because this is
Speaker 3: it's sex trafficking. That's what abduction is about. Like we
Speaker 3: can tell you that. So when these girls are snatched,
Speaker 3: and I can only imagine very few are saved. But
Speaker 3: when you are saying where where, like for you as
Speaker 3: an actress, where did you have to go to a
Speaker 3: dark place or create a dark place?
Speaker 2: Like, because that is not alexis you guys? Yes?
Speaker 4: Like well, first, you know, I would watch YouTube videos
Speaker 4: to see kind of like investigators and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: YouTube is so helpful to kind of research what you can.
Speaker 4: But of course, uh in addition to that, I just
Speaker 4: I listen to the other actor and I listen, which
Speaker 4: also helps me play off of what I'm feeling. So
Speaker 4: listening is one of the most important thing you could do.
Speaker 4: I feel as an actor, you know, and thank you, welcome,
Speaker 4: thank you, and so that is very important when you
Speaker 4: listen and not worry about, oh my god, what am
Speaker 4: I going to say?
Speaker 2: What is my lines?
Speaker 4: Instead of being like know your lines? Of course, but listen,
Speaker 4: and when you listen, then you respond and you can
Speaker 4: feel it right here in the heart, you know, right
Speaker 4: here in the heart where it comes or whatever place
Speaker 4: that certain feeling you get. You know, the thing is
Speaker 4: also in life. You study life. When you study life,
Speaker 4: you can also it also pertains to when you act,
Speaker 4: because you know, you get mad in real life. So
Speaker 4: getting mad in real life for example, you know you'll
Speaker 4: know how that feeling is. So pay attention to stuff
Speaker 4: like that too. And then also when watching the YouTube videos,
Speaker 4: pay it, you know, pay attention to their mannerisms, what
Speaker 4: is happening everything like that, you know, theirs, their backstory,
Speaker 4: how are they sitting. Every I feel like every detail
Speaker 4: is very important to building your character in whatever the
Speaker 4: character is, like for example, sex trafficker or a nurse.
Speaker 4: Let's say for a nurse, for example, a hard working nurse.
Speaker 4: Research upon that nurse, what do they do? Shoot. I
Speaker 4: would even go as far to volunteering at a hospital
Speaker 4: if they allow it to kind of shadow a nurse,
Speaker 4: because then you can really get that hard you know,
Speaker 4: that view and that real feel the energy of the
Speaker 4: whole place instead of just YouTube. So yeah, that's that's
Speaker 4: that's what research you should always do as an actor.
Speaker 4: Just go above and beyond that any anybody would do,
Speaker 4: and that will really help you, you know, build your
Speaker 4: acting career, build yourself better as an actor, and then
Speaker 4: it will make you love it even more.
Speaker 3: So I just want to say, in watching the work,
Speaker 3: like I felt the work that you did, the research
Speaker 3: that you did.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Like, you know, it would have been fake to me
Speaker 3: if the character Fefee was, for instance, had makeup on,
Speaker 3: like of course, you know Alexis had makeup on, but
Speaker 3: she didn't have makeup on that looked like she had makeup.
Speaker 3: She her face looked warm, you know, she looked tired.
Speaker 3: I mean, this woman you'll see when you watch it
Speaker 3: what she does for a living. You know how she
Speaker 3: moves right right, So so that played a part in
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 2: And and just there was a sadness.
Speaker 3: But when I say that, there were moments where you
Speaker 3: could see there was light at the end of the tunnel,
Speaker 3: you know, because of you.
Speaker 2: So you told the for me, you told the full story.
Speaker 3: Now I was down there working with my client Natry
Speaker 3: not how was it you sees?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, the torri, Yes, the toy.
Speaker 2: How did you feel, I mean, how was that?
Speaker 3: You know, I know that like and I said this
Speaker 3: sanatory that I wish that you guys had time to
Speaker 3: meet each other prior, just to get some energy because like,
Speaker 3: you know, eventually you know the story, yes, so, but
Speaker 3: you guys created that.
Speaker 2: But how was it working with her, you know in
Speaker 2: this film?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 4: It was amazing. She was so kind. She when she
Speaker 4: saw there was a little she offered me advice, and
Speaker 4: which was very amazing because a lot of actors I've
Speaker 4: worked with don't do that. They only concern about themselves
Speaker 4: a lot of times. But sorry, but Notori really stepped
Speaker 4: into to kind of give me some advice. Hey, maybe
Speaker 4: you should, you know, do this this way. And I said,
Speaker 4: you know what, that is a great way.
Speaker 2: To do it.
Speaker 4: I love it. And she was, yeah, she very and
Speaker 4: she would offer suggestions that would be even better than
Speaker 4: what originally was you know, thought of.
Speaker 2: So because of her.
Speaker 4: Long experience, she's been in this industry since she was
Speaker 4: fifteen years old, I mean, she has a lot of experience,
Speaker 4: so she understands a lot of it. And whenever you
Speaker 4: are as an actor, you're dealing with you know, a
Speaker 4: very well seasoned, you know, actor and you know, take
Speaker 4: their advice. They know what they're doing. And she's just
Speaker 4: amazing energy. I really enjoyed. And there was a part
Speaker 4: we held hands in the film and I just felt
Speaker 4: the energy right through our hands and I.
Speaker 2: Just didn't go I didn't want let go of the hand. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I loved it. Yes, And she's a good mommy and yeah,
Speaker 2: very nurturing and loving.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I enjoyed. I enjoyed. I'm not gonna tell but
Speaker 3: there's two of my favorite scenes in there with you guys,
Speaker 3: and and I got a chance to see the film
Speaker 3: with her because she had a screaming and we were
Speaker 3: so happy after the film. We really enjoyed it, you know.
Speaker 2: Because you know, it's very challenging actors.
Speaker 3: And I really want you to know this because you know,
Speaker 3: to rush through things as an actor and not be
Speaker 3: able to go through the process. That's why classes and
Speaker 3: rehearsals are so important, because you have to edit back
Speaker 3: when you get on the set.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna was that challenging for you?
Speaker 3: Because there were moments where I saw and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell you Mother's Day.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just say Mother's Day. We shot and there
Speaker 2: I wanted you to take a little more time with
Speaker 2: the situation. However, how was it challenging.
Speaker 4: For you as an actress because in a well, I
Speaker 4: think as an actress, a lot of things are challenging,
Speaker 4: especially if you don't take class. I feel like sometimes
Speaker 4: when you don't take a class and you don't get
Speaker 4: that outside perspective, it can make you miss some things
Speaker 4: what you should have thought of before. Like, for example,
Speaker 4: the wonderful Tracy. She helps so much. Everything she does,
Speaker 4: she offers this amazing advice that makes you completely do
Speaker 4: a one eighty in your head, you know, a one
Speaker 4: eighty to just be like, okay, this is what I need.
Speaker 4: Okay I missed this, so this is what I could
Speaker 4: do better next time, or.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
Speaker 4: So I feel like, you know, acting is challenging, but
Speaker 4: it also isn't because when you love it so much,
Speaker 4: it's it's really funny.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: So and you know what, I had such a like again,
Speaker 3: I don't even think about consciously like let me help somebody.
Speaker 3: It's just it just it's it's just my DNA, right.
Speaker 3: So I on Mother's Day it was really really super
Speaker 3: important seeing you got this for her and I really
Speaker 3: wanted to be there for you in a visual way,
Speaker 3: so I would let her know what the shot was,
Speaker 3: you guys, if it was a close up on her.
Speaker 2: Face, so that Alexis.
Speaker 3: Could be aware, like you all need to know, it's
Speaker 3: so important to know what your camera angle is, you know,
Speaker 3: and how long it's on you and all of that, because,
Speaker 3: like Alexis said, that is.
Speaker 2: One thing that she does. She listens, and she listens
Speaker 2: with her eyes. Thank you, Tracy, Yo.
Speaker 3: When that camera was on you, I was watching your
Speaker 3: eyes on the monitor. It was all in your eyes,
Speaker 3: the pain, the desperation, the all of that, and it
Speaker 3: just came off right. So I'm saying that to say
Speaker 3: that I really felt great every time I got a
Speaker 3: chance to like sneak in that.
Speaker 8: Crowded room and you read the signals very well those.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying it wasn't something that I consciously thought of.
Speaker 2: It was like, Yo, this is an important moment for you.
Speaker 3: As an actress, for people like me to see the verse,
Speaker 3: ssatility and wealth of your talent. Definitely that you know
Speaker 3: the moments son right.
Speaker 4: Definitely, Yes, definitely, and you know you never know, like example, Tracy,
Speaker 4: who's going to be watching to kind of you know,
Speaker 4: give you that extra to help lead you to the
Speaker 4: right path and how you want your career as well,
Speaker 4: and then you know, keep the right people in regards
Speaker 4: around you because you don't.
Speaker 2: Want to just work.
Speaker 4: This is me. I don't want to work with just everybody.
Speaker 4: I'm actually very picky. I want to work with honest,
Speaker 4: good working people, because there are people in the film
Speaker 4: industry that aren't always good and honest people even you know,
Speaker 4: But I like, I'd rather go to a little bit
Speaker 4: slower route meeting the right people than the fast route,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: Right, right, so, and and and the other thing too.
Speaker 3: Every set that I go on outside of my client,
Speaker 3: I always ask the director, and I asked del Mark
Speaker 3: it was okay if I can say something to you,
Speaker 3: because I never I'm not there to direct with my clients.
Speaker 2: I've been with Toy over twenty years.
Speaker 3: I've been with Buster for twenty nine years, so I
Speaker 3: know them and I'm able to the director says, this
Speaker 3: is the adjustment. I'm able to articulate. I found myself
Speaker 3: an interpreter. I'm able to articulate it to them and
Speaker 3: then boom right. So I have that respect for the directors,
Speaker 3: and so once I got the okay, I didn't feel
Speaker 3: like I had to.
Speaker 2: Ask every scene.
Speaker 3: Because I got the first okay, then I can have
Speaker 3: okay throughout you know, the show. But it was, it was,
Speaker 3: it was such an amazing journey. And I wanted to
Speaker 3: say this is this true because I read that you
Speaker 3: were thirty one in making the decision to come into acting,
Speaker 3: but you have been seventy.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 4: So actually, so the story is I was actually going
Speaker 4: to go to I was going to school for animation
Speaker 4: at first because I wanted to be an animator because
Speaker 4: I love to draw. But one of the criterias for
Speaker 4: being an animator is to go and take an acting class.
Speaker 4: And I was like, okay, I'm going to try this thing.
Speaker 4: And then I took it and I realized, you know what,
Speaker 4: I like this more than animation. So I stopped animation
Speaker 4: and just pursued acting. Now I'm doing this full time
Speaker 4: and just I'm going to keep pursuing and keep building
Speaker 4: until I keep going to the next mountain, the next mountain,
Speaker 4: and the next and keep it going.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's great about animation one, you know,
Speaker 3: it's different actors than you know, live action because it
Speaker 3: takes a lot of time, right, Alexis is that But
Speaker 3: I feel like the what is going to help move
Speaker 3: this project along with you as your relationships, because a
Speaker 3: lot of relationships that you have and are continue to form. Yeah,
Speaker 3: those relationships can be voiceovers definitely. Yeah, yes, you know so,
Speaker 3: but that's you know, like I love the fact that
Speaker 3: as an actress you are multi hyphening because you have
Speaker 3: to be in these days. She's also a producer creator, yes,
Speaker 3: and that's you know. I mean, can you tell the
Speaker 3: actors like, because that's another I feel like, just.
Speaker 2: As acting brings you this energy and this great vibe,
Speaker 2: creating is the same way.
Speaker 3: So can you just encourage to let them know how
Speaker 3: important it is to have something else within you know?
Speaker 4: Oh definitely, yeah, I think it is so important in
Speaker 4: addition to having your agent and getting your auditions and
Speaker 4: you know, getting the right headshots all that stuff create, right,
Speaker 4: write a movie, you know, write a book definitely, you know,
Speaker 4: become a producer, become a writer, like right now, currently
Speaker 4: I have a partner his name is Rodney Hopson, who
Speaker 4: created a TV series called city Lights, which we eventually
Speaker 4: will be pitching to Netflick. So and then it's gonna
Speaker 4: be your number one show, baby, and yes, yes it is.
Speaker 4: And yeah, make your connections with people who believe in
Speaker 4: themselves and will keep pushing until they get to where
Speaker 4: they want to go and in the same vision as you.
Speaker 4: And that's why I've been working with Rodney. We've been
Speaker 4: working on this TV series for the past well, he
Speaker 4: created it. I've been working on it with him for
Speaker 4: the past two years. He's been working on it for
Speaker 4: six years. And so we're just keep pushing making our
Speaker 4: connections like the awesome Glenn Plummer who is going to
Speaker 4: be on it, and then you know awesome you know,
Speaker 4: Tracy Moore and then everybody else.
Speaker 3: Listen, listen, like you know, I mean I told you
Speaker 3: I have relationships in this business, and you know I
Speaker 3: wanted to bring you on to celebrate you because you like,
Speaker 3: in terms of actors that I've recently met and just
Speaker 3: been around. Like it's a spirit you guys. Like when
Speaker 3: I talk of spirit, like I'm talking like I feel
Speaker 3: like the feathers, I feel like the dream Catchers, you know,
Speaker 3: like there's something That's why I said soul And what
Speaker 3: that does, alexis is it? It does it softens the
Speaker 3: desperation of this business. Like it makes you feel like
Speaker 3: you don't have to be tapping your wrists.
Speaker 2: I got to get this role. You don't have to
Speaker 2: be like, what's my next project? You can actually have
Speaker 2: a career.
Speaker 4: Be happy. Yes, yes, you can do all that. Should
Speaker 4: go to Disney World.
Speaker 2: I love Disney. I'm just saying.
Speaker 3: And the thing about you is, that's that's how you are.
Speaker 3: And that's why I said when I met you, I
Speaker 3: met the person before I met the actress, even though
Speaker 3: we were on set. And I know, you know, somebody
Speaker 3: can you don't even have to tell me you're an actor?
Speaker 2: Right when I go out to LA and I go
Speaker 2: to a restaurant or something, and then people come up
Speaker 2: and you know, with the.
Speaker 3: Presentation, I'm like, I don't need I don't say are
Speaker 3: you an actor? They'll say eventually I'm an actor, And
Speaker 3: in my head, I'll say, I already knew that, Like
Speaker 3: the whole presentation told me that right.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I was looking at you know, I always encourage actors
Speaker 3: to go to IMDb dot com and you know, look
Speaker 3: up credits and.
Speaker 2: Look up everything. And I love the fact that you
Speaker 2: did a short film.
Speaker 3: You know, and because I one of the things and
Speaker 3: this is before short films. You know, I started in
Speaker 3: eighty seven, so this was before short films were a thing.
Speaker 2: But I always encourage actors to.
Speaker 3: Do like here in New York, NYU Columbia, because they
Speaker 3: give them. In the day, they gave them brands, so
Speaker 3: they had budgets, and then you know, they have great
Speaker 3: equipment because people donate.
Speaker 2: It's just like UCLA u AS the film school like that.
Speaker 3: But now you know, these film festivals are platform for
Speaker 3: short films. And then when I was at HBO in
Speaker 3: the nineties, they used to use short films as interstitials,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Commercials, right, what was like.
Speaker 3: What encouraged you or was it the script or how
Speaker 3: did you do this short film?
Speaker 2: How did that come abound?
Speaker 4: So actually the short film I worked on called Bruja,
Speaker 4: which is actually gonna be on YouTube in August thirteenth.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 4: Yay, thank you, I know, yeah it's August thirteen, Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: thank you, Tracy.
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 4: It's a character role and it's like a really deep
Speaker 4: character role. It's uh brujaw basically is in Spanish it
Speaker 4: means which, so it's like a little bit of a
Speaker 4: horror short. So yes, and I do. I go huge
Speaker 4: for like good scripts, Like if it's a good script,
Speaker 4: I want to work that thing, you know, right right,
Speaker 4: And it was really put together. It was really very
Speaker 4: well put together. It was a very it was actually
Speaker 4: a no budget film, so unfortunately, but you know, starting off,
Speaker 4: you don't sometimes get paid because you got to build
Speaker 4: your real instudy. Yeah, no, at first it's no you know,
Speaker 4: you got to build something, you know.
Speaker 2: And that's why I encourage actors to do.
Speaker 3: Because the thing about NYU is that, you know, not
Speaker 3: negating any other schools, but I knew about NYU Film School.
Speaker 3: I knew about Columbia because as a casting director, I've
Speaker 3: been on panels at these schools, so I know the
Speaker 3: money that they have to do these short films. And
Speaker 3: like I said, the equipment. You can rent out the
Speaker 3: equipment on Friday and you have the equipment all weekend
Speaker 3: and have to return it on that Monday, right, so
Speaker 3: you can shoot a short film in three days. So
Speaker 3: and I used to work on short cast short films
Speaker 3: for my friends and stuff. But I think that it
Speaker 3: is a great platform for you to not only do
Speaker 3: the work as an actor, but also understand the positions
Speaker 3: on that set, the DP, the AD because that's never
Speaker 3: going to change, and just understanding how you know everything
Speaker 3: moves as an actor on that set.
Speaker 2: You get an opportunity to do that.
Speaker 3: In short films feature films, the expectations are here.
Speaker 2: And now you know when you know.
Speaker 3: Now I can honestly say that short films, the expectation
Speaker 3: is wotive for the world. So there is a higher expectation,
Speaker 3: and you know it's your resume, it's your walking, talking
Speaker 3: resume as an actor director DP. So there's advantages. Okay, Alexis,
Speaker 3: you got five minutes and I'm so sad, but this
Speaker 3: is the best. So if these actors who are listening
Speaker 3: to you, whatever advice tips that.
Speaker 2: You think they need right.
Speaker 3: Now in this climate, because you are present in current
Speaker 3: please do yes.
Speaker 4: Okay, So biggest advice definitely create your own stuff as well.
Speaker 4: I think that's huge. Pay attention to life. I think
Speaker 4: that's very important. Pay attention how you feel when you
Speaker 4: get mad, pay attention when you're happy. Where in your
Speaker 4: body are you feeling when you feel this way? So
Speaker 4: then whenever you listen as you act, you can associate
Speaker 4: that feeling to what you're going to say to that
Speaker 4: actor back in response to what you are listening. Listening
Speaker 4: is very important and relaxing. Take a few breaths, and
Speaker 4: you know, practice practice, you know yourself. But also be
Speaker 4: ready for any slight changes. It's whenever you start filming.
Speaker 4: Just be open and be like be like water, like
Speaker 4: Bruce Lee says, be like water.
Speaker 2: You know right? Oh, I love that. Grew up with
Speaker 2: Bruce Sweeve. I love you that.
Speaker 4: Yes, he's awesome.
Speaker 2: I like, yes, ah, that is so beautiful.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to bring Elsa on now because we
Speaker 3: have two actors, spirited actors that dying to ask you
Speaker 3: a question.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, been so hearing your story of Lesus. Thank you,
Speaker 9: Thank you, Elsa. I appreciate you absolutely so. Today we
Speaker 9: have two of our spirited actors to ask questions of you.
Speaker 9: We have mister Randall Holloway, Welcome back, Randon, come on.
Speaker 9: And we have miss Nia Simone Smith. Welcome back Nia
Speaker 9: on camera.
Speaker 2: Hello you two, Bendia, you can ask you a question first?
Speaker 10: Yes, okay, so uh I really First of all, I
Speaker 10: really love your story and I really love your transition
Speaker 10: from doing animation.
Speaker 2: Do you want into acting?
Speaker 10: I feel like people that do that just have great luck.
Speaker 2: And then I don't know, I.
Speaker 10: Just feel like it's like this transition and that is
Speaker 10: just a really cool transition.
Speaker 2: That is kudos to you for that.
Speaker 9: That is amazing.
Speaker 2: But I just want to know, from a fellow.
Speaker 10: Actor to actor, how do you feel when you start
Speaker 10: doing your own creating, like writing and things like that.
Speaker 9: You know a lot of people didn't go to school
Speaker 9: for writing.
Speaker 10: And all these different things, and you're setting in and
Speaker 10: you're like, is this script good enough? You know, you
Speaker 10: have all those doubts and those things. How do you
Speaker 10: present your work when you're feeling that way? It may
Speaker 10: or you're exploring a new realm of the entertainment industry.
Speaker 4: So I personally love creating. I you know, I don't
Speaker 4: one thing I've learned. I don't overthink anything. I don't
Speaker 4: like to overthink. I go for the gusto. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm saying, if they don't like it, they they might
Speaker 4: not like it today, but tomorrow they may love it.
Speaker 4: You know. So I'm that type of person that I'll
Speaker 4: write this script and you know I will just you know,
Speaker 4: keep writing, adjusting and YouTube is great if you ever
Speaker 4: like feel like oh man, what should I do? YouTube
Speaker 4: is I'm also a Hannah artist and I learned doing
Speaker 4: Hannah from YouTube.
Speaker 2: So YouTube is that's your school?
Speaker 4: You know, what is your school in addition to life
Speaker 4: if you if you can't go to school or anything
Speaker 4: like that. But I honestly I don't. I don't worry
Speaker 4: too much because worry does not give me the best creativity.
Speaker 4: I feel like the creativity part is one of the
Speaker 4: most important whenever you're writing a script or you know,
Speaker 4: creating anything and reading books. Reading books is amazing. I
Speaker 4: think reading all types of genres, you know, watching all
Speaker 4: kinds of films, and studying, you know, because in the
Speaker 4: end people say, oh, this person stole this. No, everybody
Speaker 4: we It's just it's we borrow from everybody. Everybody takes
Speaker 4: from something, you know, we learn. So I that that's
Speaker 4: how I feel. I feel like, no, every story has
Speaker 4: like a base where they build off of. Maybe they
Speaker 4: have a little tweak here and there, what makes it
Speaker 4: you know interesting for that whatever however they make it.
Speaker 4: But you know, otherwise, yeah, the writing definitely. I just
Speaker 4: I don't I don't like to overthink it. I want
Speaker 4: to just enjoy and I feel like when you enjoy it,
Speaker 4: the outcomes are great instead of worrying. But I have
Speaker 4: to do this, I have to make this, which is good.
Speaker 4: Keep that in mind. But when you enjoy the process
Speaker 4: it the what you want comes even ten times more,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thank you, Nia.
Speaker 3: And I just want to add to that that she
Speaker 3: didn't say. That's another like she does kinda for real,
Speaker 3: Like she gets booked to do and he learned all
Speaker 3: of YouTube. That is unbelievable.
Speaker 2: So because I want her to do, meet her all
Speaker 2: the way. Stunning work and it's spanding work. You guys,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 4: Just as we were talking, Nia, someone trying to book
Speaker 4: trying to book an appointment now for.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 10: I might need to book an appointment with you too.
Speaker 10: I love Hannah. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 2: So thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Nia.
Speaker 3: Well we got to bring her here, Nia, because she
Speaker 3: she's not in New York all day.
Speaker 11: She'll come here maybe next time.
Speaker 4: With City Lights too, especially our TV series that's where
Speaker 4: we want to film it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and she's looking for well I'm not saying
Speaker 2: nothing else, but anyway, no.
Speaker 8: Thank you, that's so awesome. Okay, Randall, what's your question?
Speaker 8: All right, my name is Randall Holloway. I'm also multi
Speaker 8: hyphenated artist. I'm a singer, actor, writer, and painter and producer,
Speaker 8: so I'm.
Speaker 7: All over the place sometimes.
Speaker 12: But my fortune to you is, you know, as actors,
Speaker 12: what a role that scares you, that really is like
Speaker 12: just really scared you.
Speaker 7: Like is something that you know you shouldn't take, you
Speaker 7: don't want to take, but when it comes across you
Speaker 7: know that you're gonna take it.
Speaker 4: Oh oh man, this is you know, honestly, if there's
Speaker 4: a superhero role that ever really comes for me, that
Speaker 4: will scare me because that is going to be like
Speaker 4: a lead because I have never been a lead in
Speaker 4: a film before, but that role, I would. It would
Speaker 4: take a lot, but I would. I would definitely take
Speaker 4: it first off, because I love doing superhero stuff. I
Speaker 4: love fantasy. Fantasy is like fantasy, action and drama. Those
Speaker 4: are my things. I do like comedy even, you know,
Speaker 4: but like those are my main things. But yeah, that's yeah,
Speaker 4: that's that's what I would take, is that superhero role.
Speaker 4: And sorry, I forgot the other part of your question.
Speaker 4: What was what else was it?
Speaker 7: It was pretty much like, what what's the role that
Speaker 7: you you know that comes across or left that you
Speaker 7: know that you wouldn't want to take, but you know
Speaker 7: that you're going to take, oh.
Speaker 4: That they wouldn't want to take. Sorry, I definitely want
Speaker 4: to take the superhero role. Man. You know, I don't shoot.
Speaker 4: That's hard, you know, I don't know because I like
Speaker 4: a lot of roles. I don't know if there's much.
Speaker 4: But one thing I know I wouldn't do is, you know,
Speaker 4: anything with high nudity. I know that's totally not your question,
Speaker 4: but I wouldn't take those. But there's not really any
Speaker 4: roles out there that I know I wouldn't take but
Speaker 4: will take because there's so many great roles out there
Speaker 4: I feel like and very you know, many great writing
Speaker 4: and off the top of my head, I'm not one
Speaker 4: hundred percent sure, but you know, I take a lot
Speaker 4: of roles, So I'm sorry I didn't give you this.
Speaker 2: No. No.
Speaker 3: And in terms of a super like, I highly recommend
Speaker 3: if you haven't seen its super Supercell on Netflix, Oh
Speaker 3: look at that. And I encourage you guys as actors
Speaker 3: to not just shoot in the United States of America,
Speaker 3: but also think global, you know, because we're everywhere. So
Speaker 3: but this is shot in Britain and it is a
Speaker 3: really great series and talk about superpowers. It's very interesting
Speaker 3: and so we the I benched on season one, but
Speaker 3: season two should be coming out.

Speaker 9: prison cell like room night. A woman wakes up and
Speaker 9: is immediately met with a pounding headache. It's enough to
Speaker 9: daze her a bit, but her focus is automatically on
Speaker 9: the room with one toilet and the mysterious man with her,
Speaker 9: who's fixated on the door in front of him.
Speaker 2: Mhm. What's going on? Mm hmm, what the hell is
Speaker 2: going on? Where am I? I don't know? Who are you?

Speaker 2: Because I'm freaking the fuck out?
Speaker 13: I know that's screaming is not going to open that door,
Speaker 13: even though your voice is supersonic.
Speaker 7: I know that you have a spinning headache, so it's
Speaker 7: probably best that you take it easy.
Speaker 14: Okay, I relax when I'm up in a fucking that
Speaker 14: out fell.
Speaker 9: He's met with a brutal feeling in her head and
Speaker 9: quickly finds a seat on the floor.
Speaker 11: How did I get here?
Speaker 14: Remembers who went to the ball and getting ambushed by
Speaker 14: my father's teat and telling me that I'm gonna safe.
Speaker 2: They told me to stay quiet, and they wouldn't let
Speaker 2: me walk.
Speaker 9: Without one of them leaning h Barcus notices the girl's
Speaker 9: attire from makeup and her aura. She's clearly come from
Speaker 9: wealth and a lot of it, big.
Speaker 14: Singing, I know the blindfolders in the car driving away
Speaker 14: from something you can get.
Speaker 2: A chance to see. After that, just gonna Stark. Mm hmm.

Speaker 13: I don't have an answer to why you're here, but
Speaker 13: we're here to get there, and that's what matters.
Speaker 7: Now. I need your focus and your attention. Who's ever
Speaker 7: listening or watching right now? We got to get out
Speaker 7: of here.
Speaker 9: Angel notices he has a certain familiarity to the cell
Speaker 9: and the situation. How long have you been here?
Speaker 7: I had a roommate before here.
Speaker 9: He's visibly distraught at the thought of this quote unquote
Speaker 9: whole roommate. There's bad memories there and they're fresh.
Speaker 7: That Nick and Darren.
Speaker 2: Told his dumb ass we should have never gone in
Speaker 2: that place. What happened to you, guys, That motherfucker happened.
Speaker 7: All I know is is that we had a job
Speaker 7: and he got plopped.
Speaker 13: I made a run for it, except I didn't escape,
Speaker 13: and everything went black and I ended up here. That
Speaker 13: was like a week, two weeks maybe more. Who was
Speaker 13: here with you, Damien. They wrapped his wounds with cooled
Speaker 13: galls wrapped. She would have died from natural circumstances.
Speaker 2: It wasn't putting this spo.
Speaker 9: Andrew notices the blood on the floor and the scratch
Speaker 9: marks from what should be torture. The realization is an
Speaker 9: enough to send her into another panic. At that moment,
Speaker 9: the couple is interrupted by the sound of a master
Speaker 9: lock opening, followed by a slow, lumbering step. Marcus notices
Speaker 9: the anxiety attack coming in and quickly sets her into
Speaker 9: a state of focus.
Speaker 5: I'm scared too, but I'm not heating this place for
Speaker 5: another hour, So I need you to control your breathing
Speaker 5: and get your shit together and follow my lead.
Speaker 7: You want to.
Speaker 9: Angel nods. There's a calming sincerity in his words, So
Speaker 9: the two get ready for whatever the guard has to
Speaker 9: throw at them. See.
Speaker 2: Wow, good job is a great job. I have to
Speaker 2: say this.
Speaker 3: I am so proud and I want to brag. But
Speaker 3: Randall created that scene in the spirited after the class.
Speaker 2: I always want to stay.
Speaker 9: This one.
Speaker 2: Written in that class. We have ones coming from Randall. Yeah, okay, that, Oh.
Speaker 4: My god, you got me invested. Guys, you guys, it's

Speaker 4: You were like, you know, Nea, You're just like, you know,
Speaker 4: freaking out and it gives that good you know balance
Speaker 4: between Randal you. I knew you were freaking out inside,
Speaker 4: but you kept it calm still, And I love the
Speaker 4: difference instead of both of you like ah, then it
Speaker 4: becomes us like a scrabbled mess. And I like, I
Speaker 4: love the difference between you two. And I love how
Speaker 4: you painted the room. I saw the cell with you guys,
Speaker 4: because the way you're looking around as you're saying your lines,
Speaker 4: and it just it really paints the picture. And I
Speaker 4: became invested. I'm like, how do I help these people
Speaker 4: get out of this dang room?
Speaker 2: Like dang it?
Speaker 4: And then I felt bad because I feel like me
Speaker 4: I was about to be like you started crying and
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god. You know, but really
Speaker 4: really good job. And it was a build up. That's
Speaker 4: what I loved the most is that it was such
Speaker 4: a build up. It wasn't just constant.
Speaker 2: Ah freak out right away.
Speaker 4: It was a build up. Like Randall, you had a
Speaker 4: build up moment and Mia you also had a build
Speaker 4: up moment, and when you freaked out, it wasn't overdone.
Speaker 4: It was a controlled like. It was really good. It
Speaker 4: was believable. You know you're thinking, yeah, And that's what
Speaker 4: I like, And you're actually teaching me. I'm actually paying
Speaker 4: attention to learning from you guys too, just so you.
