We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Anya Kalia. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Anya below.
Anya, thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?
A way I like to keep my creativity alive is by writing scripts with my friends and performing them in front of family members. It is extremely fun to create characters and make stories for them. I also like taking acting classes and challenging myself to learn new techniques. Improvisation is great as it allows me to quickly think on my feet and explore different scenarios.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Acting has always been a passion of mine. I have enjoyed the craft for years! It is extremely fun to collaborate with other individuals as I like meeting new people. I am so grateful as I have made some incredible friends in the acting industry! I absolutely love being on set and working in front of a camera. I hope to continue acting forever as it is my favorite thing to do!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The three skills/qualities that were most impactful in my journey were having determination, a positive mindset, and an open-mind to exploring different characters. Being determined is important as this industry is full of rejection. It is crucial to keep striving forward and to maintain a positive mindset. Believe that you can do whatever you put your mind to! I think it is also important to be willing to take on roles that will challenge you. This can allow one to explore different perspectives!
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
My parents have been incredibly helpful in my acting career. They have helped me stay motivated and I am so grateful that they are so loving and supporting. They are always there for me and I am so fortunate that they also believe in my dreams. In addition, I have a good circle of acting friends, in which we all love to encourage and uplift each other!
