I'm Irish on St. Patrick's Day. I'm Italian on Columbus Day. I'm a New Yorker every day.
From Tamara Tunie
The first thing I do is brush my teeth - we like to start the morning with fresh breath - and put on my pajamas and meander down to the kitchen for a glass of orange juice. No coffee. No caffeine.
Show business is fickle, and though I have been blessed with a healthy career, who knows how long that will last?
When I first got to New York, all I did was musicals. After a few years I had to make a conscious choice to close the door on musicals, because I was getting pigeon-holed as a musical theater performer.
I truly believe that when a person makes a concrete decision and takes action towards a goal that they've set, that the universe will step in and provide opportunities.
I always watch the work I do.
I believe that you can always learn from observation.
Understand that the time in the audition is your time. Really own it and take control of it. And do what you prepared. Focus on really executing what it is that you intended to do.
All you have is yourself and what you have to present, and just focus on that. And if you can walk out of the audition and say to yourself, 'I hit all my beats,' 'I accomplished my emotional honesty,' or 'I remembered my words,' then that's winning.
Chuck Cooper is a friend, and I adore him. He can do so many things.
