A young actor argues that women in early careers tend to shrink themselves and must deliberately take up space instead. She finds empowerment through vulnerability on camera: crying, being goofy, exposing raw emotions without fear.
You know, I think especially as a young woman there's this kind of, this kind of feeling of, oh, let me just be small and let me just kind of stay in the corner and not make a big deal. But I think it's so important, especially as actors to take up space and to own that and to say, hey, I work really hard. I, I have something special to offer to the table and my ideas are important and they matter and I'm excited to share them. I think that's something that just really changed my perspective and just to have no fear, you know, when you do that, I think, you know, in acting you do a lot of vulnerable things. You know, you're crying, you're going to do some really silly and goofy things on camera and to just have no fear and embody that and fully love every part of that. So take up space and have no fear.
