"Recently, I played Rizzo in the play 'Grease'. I had great delivery of my lines but if I am honest - my dance moves could have been better. I should have practiced these moves more fervently and perhaps hired a dance coach."

"As an experienced actor, I have learned to critique myself quite thoroughly. The most I have ever critiqued myself was after a commercial aired that I starred in. It was for Telus Mobility and the first time, in a long time, that I performed in front of a green screen with CGI incorporated after the fact. After seeing the commercial I actually hired a coach specifically for commercial acting. I feel much more natural in that setting now."

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is thinking you don't need to work on your acting skills. There is always room for improvement! What are some things you noticed when watching a tape of your past show?
It takes insight to be able to see and articulate what you could have done better. Acting is a learning process that never ends. There is always something to gain from your performances, good and bad, because there will be new characters and stories to tell. The more you hone your skills and learn from your mistakes, the better actor you will become.

"I played Miss Hannigan in 'Annie.' I think I played the character a bit overly emotional. As I've learned to express myself through acting, I am also learning how to reign it in and focus on the point I am trying to get across, not just the emotion behind it."
