Asha Banks Shares Her Acting Experience

It's a bit weird for my Wi-Fi to kick in.

I think that's a huge point to say.

Hold on.

Let's go over here.

That's a really huge point to say.

Rejection.

When you tell a four to six year old no, they just throw a tantrum.

So dealing with rejection as a kid is definitely 50 times harder than an adult because an adult could be just, you know, you're more emotionally mature so you can handle rejection better.

but then again what she's saying how you could be put in a room with so many other kids comparison the comparison game oh that is probably 50 times harder when you're a kid as well because you're you're listening and watching other kids perform and you're like they just did it so much better than how i could have ever done it and then you just start to crumble as a kid so I don't know, maybe this is just to show that as a parent, you should probably teach your kids these basic virtues of honesty, of compassion, of friendship, of teamwork, of not comparing, things like this.

is that the the audition process is and then often most like nine times out of ten kids then talk to themselves in the room the team have a little chat to each other and then literally cut people in front of each other and say not you not you not you not you like we're so sorry and then they leave the room and like have to go back to their parents like crying and like distraught and then they're

And that's the last bit.

Just straight up truth.

The truth does not always feel good.

But I mean, gosh, I don't know how it was back when she was a kid in terms of the casting process.

Because I know before 2020, you would have in-person auditions.

But after 2020, now we are in the self-tape era.

Do not get me started on this.

This is my biggest hot take, and I'm going to feel this way just for the longest until we do in-person auditions again.

And I've done one, and I really enjoyed it.

But being a good self-taper does not mean you are good at it.

actor, a self taper.

And what a self tape is, is essentially because we do auditions at home.

Now you will self you'll you're going to do it yourself, you get your phone and you record yourself, that's your tape.

And it's an audition audition is sent via email, you read it.

And then you know, you'll have another reader because you'll have a script,
