ALEXANDRA CHAVES

Actor and Dancer

Audio Transcription:

In the acting and dancing industry, as a young person, it’s really hard to be taken seriously. So I’ve had to overcome that obstacle. Especially when there’s so many people that will judge you, like, ‘Oh, your crazy ideas!’, ‘That doesn’t make sense’. I’ve had to go in there and be, like, ‘No. Take me seriously. I can actually contribute real valuable information and ideas to you’. I go into the room, I go into an audition and I’m like ‘This is me. You can love me or you can not but that’s not going to affect how I feel about myself’.
