Lights, Camera, Action! A Day in the Life of an Actor
When I was younger, like most kids, I dreamed of stardom. I’d watch Disney Channel and picture myself standing in tandem with all of the child actors I’d admired.

How do they prepare for roles? How do they get over stage fright?

Recently, I had the privilege of listening to a band that stands at the intersection of classic rock, indie and folk (three of my favorite genres by the way). This is the band SUNNN.
