We’re joined by Kelsey Tuck, an actor and model who’s been building momentum in TV and film while balancing a career as a nurse. She shares how modeling after college unexpectedly led her into acting, what it’s like working with agents and managers, how she self-submits for roles, and the casting websites that helped her find opportunities. Kelsey also talks about her first on-set experience, the lessons she learned from it, and her approach to self-tape auditions.
We also dive into the world of vertical dramas, exploring the fast-paced production style, the suspenseful storytelling that keeps viewers hooked, and what it's like bringing these mobile-first series to life on set. Kelsey shares her thoughts on AI in the industry, how she handles rejection without taking it personally, and the professionalism that helps actors keep getting hired.
