Academy Newsletter Interview - June 2022

Actress/Kid Host/Kid Reporter Lacey Caroline from Charlotte,
North Carolina has a lot going on! 
The 15-year old Young Artist Academy™ Award Winner shares about some of her favorite projects, making friendships in the Entertainment Industry, and how she ‘stays relevant’ as a performer.

I really love super heroes, specifically The Batman and dream of being a superhero someday. I am a huge fan of the outdoors and being inspired through indie-pop music. I also love binge watching some of my favorite shows and using those characters as references in auditions and performances. 

I have been in lots of short films and an awesome television spec pilot. Most noteworthy has to be the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, A Christmas Love Story and as the NASCAR and Supercross Kid Reporter. I love the families that you make on a set or in a show. It is a really special bond that you create and it's so cool to see someone you have met or worked with before on another project. 

Recently, I have really focused on my dramatic acting, which I was a little hesitant with before, and am in mixed martial arts classes - training for that future role as a superhero! 

Business Advice:  Never lose yourself in the industry and remember why you love to act. 

Networking Tip: Networking is so important in this industry and it's so important to stay relevant. I am always checking Actors Access or Backstage for upcoming projects and look at who is casting and directing. I will do research on the teams and their projects so that I can have an understanding of what they are looking for and sometimes we connect via social media. As much as I want to work, I want to make sure that I am working for and with great people!

Look for Lacey in several short films on the festival circuit: Worm Radio, Youth, and Beyond the Yard. Also catch Lacey in The Rush Call, in two more short films in production, as well as a regional production of Legally Blonde in Davidson NC!

The Young Artist Academy™ reminds families that California Law requires publicists, managers, acting coaches and headshot photographers who work with child performers to obtain a Child Performer Services Permit. Please be thorough and insist on this protective measure when making new Industry Connections. The Young Artist Academy™ is bonded and in full compliance with the Krekorian Talent Act, an expansion of the California Advance Fee Talent Service Law. In compliance with California Legislature Sections 1286 to 1289 and Assembly Bill 1660, the Academy's annual awards show is produced by Stage Managers, Directors, Writers and Producers carrying Child Performer Services Permits. While no process is perfect, this is one that we take seriously and are committed to constantly improving. Rigorous protocols created exclusively by and for the Young Artist Academy™ have received praise as the new "gold standard" for youth awards organizations. We remain community-minded and committed to our obligations in this area. We welcome respectful inquiries, questions, and concerns at info@YoungArtistAcademy.org
