In this episode Amy and I discuss:

  • Australian accents are awesome
  • My kids are impressed by my friends
  • Her family is obsessed with sports
  • Not having a life because she was training for sports
  • Practicing dangerous sports
  • Her switch from sports to musical theater
  • Kids will do shores if you play the Annie soundtrack
  • CDs are vintage now
  • Musicals that have meaningful moments
  • Sports taught her discipline
  • Time management for performers
  • Actors need to live life
  • The challenges of dating other performers
  • Auditioning is terrifying
  • Character is more important than talent
  • Having a DJ follow you would be awesome
  • Getting her first big acting job
  • Things they don't teach you in acting school
  • Filming while your sick
  • Improv comedy is therapeutic
  • learning that Mermaids pee in the pool
