First, I would like to thank all of the readers of Backstage.com.
I adore you all and truly feel connected to each and every one of you. Why? Because I have been in your shoes. I started out knowing zilch and then, through the love and generosity of my mentors, I grew. Some steps were tiny. Some steps were huge. Sometimes I felt as though I were going backwards or as if I would never move forward again. But I wanted this world of acting with all of my heart and soul—and that kept me strong and drove me to get back up when I fell down. I named my acting studio Hartt and Soul for a reason. For me, the magic of your heart and soul is the life energy of your creativity.
This is such a beautiful time of year to be reminded of the power of the heart and soul. I was blessed as a child with a beautiful acting community, rich with creativity and generosity of spirit. I learned that the best creativity came from deep inside the soul. I discovered that acting had to make my heart sing or I was just filling space. I found when I acted with all of my heart and soul that magic happened. And when I didn’t, I felt as though I weren’t truly alive.
I wanted to always win every audition and to march in perfect
