We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Sarah Noelle Eastep. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Sarah Noelle below.

Sarah Noelle, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s jump back to the first dollar you earned as a creative? What can you share with us about how it happened?

My very first acting role is special for a lot of reasons. The project was for the art collective Meow Wolf, which was building a new installation called Omega Mart in Las Vegas. If you know anything about Meow Wolf, which I did, you would know just how weird the script would probably be—and it was very, very weird. It was also my first self-taped audition, and we “broke some rules” but apparently it worked. I was told I was cast from thousands of submissions. I also met with an agent the day after I wrapped filming, who later signed me after seeing the my performance. A lot of good things have come from this project; taking the chance, sending a really weird audition video, and putting in the time and work was well worth the effort.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Well I’m an actor! I first got into the film industry because of my parent’s but even before that I was in theater. I’ve always loved the idea of escaping your reality for even a minute to be something completely different than yourself. I also act to be someone to make people feel better. When I was younger, if I was sad or needed a break from the world, I would put on my favorite movie and immediately be transported. I want to be that for other people—to bring a smile to their face. I would say the main thing young actors should know is, be yourself! Use your weird, freaky talents to be who you are and the right roles will find you.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

To any young actors, you have to forget to act, to act. You can’t “act” the lines and think about how someone else would say it, you have to learn how YOU would say it. Don’t try to be a different person, just be yourself.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

It’s a great time to be an artist. There are so many art styles and types of art, and so many ways to experience art, so the only perspective on what makes “good art” that matters is yours. Make art for yourself; buy art that you like.
