Selina Kaye: Relish The Experience
From humble beginnings in Buffalo, NY, Selina Kaye found her love for acting by chance. It was because of an extra credit assignment that Selina was inspired to travel across the country to Los Angeles and pursue acting.
For Selina, acting is a true love affair. In Episode 2, Kaye tells us about her love for self-tapes. She goes through the ins and outs of the self-tape and what it’s like to succeed without even being seen in person.
Selina is a true enthusiast of acting.
You can’t speak to her without being infected by her genuine lust for working and creating full characters for every audition she gets. Her love for the CW network is charming and her down-to-earth perspective on the business makes this interview one of my favorites by far.
Selina opens up about where she is today in her career. You won’t be able to watch or listen to this interview, without coming to the conclusion that Selina’s definition of success isn’t confined to just booking, but rather, relishing in the entire experience itself.
Her mantra is simple “That’s your time, make sure you leave there knowing you did your best possible work.”
