anime, animation and video games like Disney’s Tangled, Naruto, Silent

Hill, Ghost in the Shell, Steven Universe, Penn Zero and more. She talks

about the trending character archetypes in anime, how to approach

audition specs like “natural, not cartoony” and how she handles her own

auditions by doing her best work and moving on.

impersonation of Arnold Schwarzenegger and William Shatner.

the Silent Hill video games and touring internationally performing her

favorite song, Room of Angels. She offers great advice for following

your dreams without expectations from being where the work is, to taking

improv and acting classes, reading out loud every day and checking out
