I just want to get into the action. And voice-over work is all action.
I love Cher Lloyd's music. I didn't actually hear her music as I was creating my own, but it's cool that we have styles that are considered to be similar.
I really do love bluesy-jazzy music, so I love Etta James, B.B. King and Billie Holiday. I love that they have soul in their voices - I think that's something important is having.
I recommend doing some sort of acting class, something that can eventually get you in front of an agent or a manager, and practice is very important.
I really do like Bruno Mars. I think he's very good. And I love Maroon 5.
I think it can be fun to write about relationships just because so many people can relate to what you are feeling.
Professionally, the first time I sang was on 'Alice Upside Down.' It was the first movie that I did, and I had this little mini singing part.
I definitely get stage fright.
Practicing going over scenes and in front of the camera just to see how that feels, and then ultimately just finding a way to expose yourself to people. That's what I did.
Being bullied is something I experienced in school, and it is not fun.
There's a reason why bullying takes such a strong form online. People don't have to push back as much as they would in real life.
You do hear from people that the things that you have done or projects you have worked on have made an impact on people's lives. I think it is important to take that seriously and to recognise that you are being followed and watched by some degree in what you do and you should use that. It's a real blessing to be able to make an impact on people's lives and to use that for the bettering of them.
It's easy to question yourself and ask if you're doing a good job, but there are so many different factors to landing a role. I remind myself that a lot of it is completely out of my control.
When things get tough, you should seek out someone like a coach or friend or family member to talk things through with.
