Meet Stephanie Collins | Model, Commercial and Voiceover Actor

I get excited about performing because I know this is where I’m supposed to be! I thank god for all the auditions I get via my agency-it’s comparable to winning the lottery for me! Each activity has its on thing. In acting, it’s me finding ways to relate to the characters story-so that I can capture my authentic emotions. With voiceover, there is no camera-it is you and the mic. If you like talking to yourself in a box-you have to capture the emotions, body language, and a great imagination to be able to deliver the message. Modeling for me never gets old. It’s another form of expression for me to play dress up and then go back to being my regular self! Whenever I’m auditioning for anything-I love saying it’s “Showtime” because its my chance to shine, inspire, and motivate myself and others who also want to manifest their own creative or artistic dreams!

I’ve gotten where I am professionally because I respect people. You never know what a person is going through. I’ve had people from my past tell me that I was always nice to them. Like the great Maya Angelou said, “People might not remember what was said…but they remember how you made them feel.” Some great people that I know-see my humbleness and all I can say to them is “thank you-that’s how I was raised!”

Furthermore, I would like to say my journey has been easy-but I’ve come across people that don’t want to see you win. These people are the ones I put my blinders on for-because I don’t have room for negative energy! I’ve always leaned on optimism in my life-because I know that unfair situations don’t last forever.

Lastly, I’ve learned and I want the world to know that everybody has a choice! We should choose to keep pushing forward to become a better version of ourselves and release those things that are holding us back! Imagine how we would all be in such a better position!

Okay, so my best friend is visiting Los Angeles for a week long trip-its a must to hit up In-N-Out right after the airport-love their burgers! This joint is only exclusive to Southern Cali! After we get settled in at The Ritz-Carlton Marina Del Rey-we’re going to Venice Beach boardwalk to do some skating and vibe off the street performers and artists. Then on to Melrose for some shopping, and some eye candy! Later, we hit up The Room Hollywood for dancing and drinks and Crustacean Beverly Hills for dinner! By the end of the week, stop by The Broad Museum during the day and catch a basketball game or concert at LA Live’s Crypto.com Arena.

On the weekend, we’re going to chill and have brunch-at Bottega Louie in Downtown LA-get some rest and then off to the airport-until next time!

Some other dope places to check out in LA are the Venice Canals, Malibu Wine Safari, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Griffith Park Observatory, Universal Studios, Grand Central Market, The Original Farmers Market and Rodeo Drive!
