39
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,440

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,160

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 6: Yeah?

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,959

Speaker 2: shows and movies. Of course, you must have talent and

47
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: a lot of training. That means practice, practice, practice, practice practice.

48
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: Right now we are backstage behind the curtain. The theater

49
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: is dark and the lights are shining on the sage. Hey,

50
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: here's a joke. What did the thief steal on the

51
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: play's opening night? The spotlights? I guess I'll just stick

52
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: to being the Emily. The music is telling us that

53
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: the show is about to begin.

54
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: Oh oh, excuse me.

55
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,560

56
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: out of their way.

57
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: Break a leg, huh.

58
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 6: Don't worry. It means good luck.

59
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: Back in the old days, to break a leg meant

60
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: to bend down on one knee after a successful performance

61
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: to receive the audience's applause and roses tossed on the sage.

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: Oh ohoa, I know it's weird anyway, while the dancer's practice,

63
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: let's go to the dressing rooms. Oh, here are some actors.

64
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: One is having his makeup applied. oOoOO, he's being made

65
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 2: to look like a lion. And this actor is putting

66
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: the final touches on her costume. Let's interview the star.

67
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: Are you ready to meet a real actor?

68
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

69
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 2: The name on the door says Lily Bartlem. Hi, Lily,

70
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: I'm with Lingo kids, and we want to find out

71
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: what it takes to be an actor. Can we ask

72
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: some questions?

73
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 6: Yes, for sure, Lily.

74
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: You are our very first guest, and we have so

75
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: many questions for Can we start first with how many

76
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: movies and cartoons and shows you've appeared in or participated

77
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: in as a voice talent.

78
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 6: I would say probably twenty or thirty.

79
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: That is quite a lot. And you've been nominated for

80
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: some prestigious awards too, Yes.

81
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: I have been. I've been nominated for two Canadian Screen

82
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 6: Awards and two Actor Awards, So I'm very proud of

83
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 6: those accomplishments.

84
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: O WHOA how old were you when you decided you

85
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: wanted to be an actress.

86
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 6: I decided I wanted to be an actress when I

87
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 6: was five years old. I saw my older sister doing

88
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 6: some shows, some theater shows, and I remember seeing her

89
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 6: on stage and I was like, this looks so cool.

90
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 6: So I auditioned for my first show when I was

91
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 6: five years old, and I bucked it with my sister.

92
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 6: You know, I just kept on going from there. I've

93
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 6: had so much fun.

94
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: And it might be an interesting fact to know that

95
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: Lily is sixteen years old now.

96
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Oh so you have.

97
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: All read he had a career many actors can only

98
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: dream about. What are three things all actors need?

99
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 6: I would say one thing an actor needs is to

100
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 6: be able to memorize. So you need to memorize a

101
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 6: lot of lines and you'll get your script the night before,

102
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 6: and you know, it's a skill that you kind of

103
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 6: have to build up, but you have to be able

104
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 6: to memorize. The second thing I would say is you

105
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 6: have to be able to speak clearly and loudly so

106
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 6: your audience can hear what you're saying and understand you.

107
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: I think that's a very important thing, as well as

108
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 6: making your audience believe that you are somebody or something

109
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 6: that you're really not.

110
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: That's very good advice, very interesting. So we've also received

111
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: some questions from our Lingo Kids listeners.

112
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 3: What roles have you played?

113
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 6: I am Sky on pap Patrol, which is such a

114
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 6: fun show. I play in film and TV. I play

115
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 6: a girl named Kelly Darnell on Detention Adventure, which is

116
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 6: a super fun show. I am Gwen on Total Drama Rama.

117
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 6: And I would say those are three roles that I

118
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 6: have really had fun playing.

119
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: We just learned that only men used to be actors.

120
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 1: They even played women. Have you ever played a man character? Well,

121
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: on a few of my shows, I have had to

122
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: play like background people because they need like filler voices

123
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: for crowds or something. So I actually have had to

124
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: play like little boys or old ladies, which has been

125
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: super fun.

126
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 6: It's a different thing going from a little girl to

127
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 6: a little boy, So it's fun. I really enjoy doing that.

128
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 6: It's a very different thing. I am often told that

129
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 6: I am shy. Do you think shy people can be actors?

130
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh?

131
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 6: For sure. When I was little, I was very, very

132
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 6: very shy, where I would hide behind my mom's leg

133
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 6: all the time, and I had trouble speaking to people,

134
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 6: and if someone were to ask me a question, I

135
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 6: would just giggle. So I think acting is something that

136
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 6: if you are shy, it really helps break you out

137
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 6: of your shell. It helps you, you know, overcome that.

138
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 6: And I think I have come a long way and

139
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 6: I'm very comfortable speaking to people now, and you know,

140
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 6: that's not something that I really have to worry about

141
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 6: anymore when it was something that my parents were very

142
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 6: concerned about when I was little, like how shy I was.

143
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 6: I think acting is a great way to, you know,

144
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 6: overcome that. So I'm very thankful to acting.

145
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: Have you ever forgotten what to say?

146
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 6: Oh for sure. I feel like this is something that

147
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 6: happens a lot, or you'll just kind of blank and

148
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 6: freeze up, or you know, but I think you kind

149
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 6: of just have to roll with it, and I kind

150
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 6: of improv and kind of make it but most of

151
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 6: the time we have to redo it, but I just

152
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 6: try to roll with it.

153
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: But do you like best about being an actress?

154
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 6: I would say I love playing different characters and you know,

155
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 6: being someone that's totally not me. I think it's such

156
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 6: a cool thing that I'm able to do. I also

157
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 6: love being able to see, you know, the shows that

158
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 6: I'm in all these you know, little kids have let's say,

159
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 6: like sky t shirts or sky backpacks. It's so cool

160
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 6: that something that I love doing is something that you know,

171
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: growing up to become a theater actor or an actor

172
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: like you?

173
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 6: Getting yourself out there, getting immersed in as many things

174
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 6: as you can, because you know, what makes you unique

175
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 6: is what you know can get you far. So if

176
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 6: your favorite thing right now is karate and you're starting

177
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 6: to be interested in acting, keep on going with karate,

178
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 6: because you know that could be something in the future

179
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 6: that sets you apart as it makes you unique. So

180
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 6: you know, take I think acting is one of those

181
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 6: things that if you have lots of passions, you can

182
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: combine all those things with acting, and I think that's

183
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 6: so cool. So just continue doing what makes you unique,

184
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 6: and start doing tongue twisters just to help you speak

185
