Second Act Actors

EP 50: Stephanie Herrera: Salesperson Turned Actor & Children’s Animation Writer


Listen Later

This episode of Second Act Actors features the lovely Stephanie, who came to acting after working in sales but who also has experience as a waitress, cleaner, gogo dancer, mother, wife and much more. Tune in as we go over her story and share our thoughts on rediscovering acting after your 20s.

 

Stephanie tells me about the huge overlap that exists between working in sales and acting, which is an extended form of selling yourself to a casting director. She explains why she felt pressured to quit acting in the first place and what coming back to acting has been like. You’ll be surprised to hear her thoughts on the availability of roles for women over 30 in the industry!

 

We also discuss the different kinds of pressure that second act actors feel compared to people who got into acting at a young age and Stephanie shares excellent advice and words of wisdom for second act actors, including how she balances acting around raising her four children and why she’s just starting to build momentum in her script writing projects.

 

This is a beautiful episode of the Second Act Actors podcast that will inspire you to push that bit harder to make acting a part of your life, however big or small. If you liked the episode, please subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.
