Many people think voice over artists just read, there's much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won't make it.
The idea of transformation - playing something I'm not - is the bit I enjoy most about acting.
I need to go where people are serious about acting.
I have four to five months, tops, per year to give to my acting work.
I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.
Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.

Well I was eight years old, and I have an older cousin who is three years older than me and she was doing acting, commercials, and modeling at the time and... to see my cousin doing that was really inspiring and I wanted to do it. So I went to my mom and I asked her if I could do it, and for the acting part of it, she made me study for a year.
