Hi, I’m Tracey!
I'm a professional actor and coach, proud member of SAG-AFTRA, and French fry connoisseur. Welcome to my site!
About Me
I started this website as a way to share what I've learned about the business of acting.
Truth? When I first started acting professionally in my twenties, I had no clue that I was a business. I just thought, I’ll move to NYC, audition a bunch, get work, and get famous. That was my plan.
Welp, that plan didn’t work out... because plans are only as good as the preparation and actions behind them. I wasn't at all prepared, and my efforts were misguided. So I spent my time doing what I thought I should, but getting nowhere. If this sounds like you, fear not and read on!
After 6 years of inconsistent bookings, I quit acting. Not what you expected to hear?
Yep, I took a break. A long break... During that time, I raised two wonderful kids, taught high school Drama and private acting classes, and built a successful real estate business. I never forgot about my dream of being an actor. In fact, I thought about it all time. And I missed it.
In 2018, while sitting on a plane headed to Denver, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I am an actor, and it's time for me to be ME again. And that's when it dawned on me (now coming from a place of having a lot more life experience) that I had originally gone about my acting dreams all wrong.
This time, I approached my acting career by applying everything I’d learned as a mom, teacher, and business owner. I made a plan, a real plan that I continue to follow daily. I set goals. I researched. I studied. I networked. And guess what! I work – a lot. Way more than I did in my twenties. And boy, am I having WAY more fun doing it.
So, this website is my way of sharing with you what I’ve learned so far, and what I'm still learning as I continue my journey.
In the words of the Spanish poet, Antonio Machado, The path is made by walking... So let's get moving!
