how to learn acting on set with Kyra Wisely

this week we have one of my fave humans, kyra wisely
she's known for her work on tons of artsy films like A Trail of Dead Flowers, The First, and Positive
she's also known for being a vertical series QUEEN (she's done 9) on shows such as The Forbidden Alpha, Oops I Married a CEO by Mistake, Dracula's Kiss and More.
kyra's story is super cool because after growing up dancing in her late teens she switched to focusing on acting. she moved to LA at 18 and started booking immediately. her booking stats are CRAY which is especially fascinating to me because she's open about how she hasn't had a ton of traditional formal acting training. she has learned a lot on set.
we chat balance, learning acting by doing it, leaving your day job and VERTICAL SHOWSS!!
if you want to start acting but feel "behind" because you haven't been doing it for ages, this episode is for you.
if you're thinking about leaving your "day job" to act full time, this episode is for you
if you struggle with balance as a creative, this episode is for you
(again YEET) if you want to book one of those vertical shows, this episode is for you (kyra has done NINE)
