So Thankful!
It’s the time of year we think about things for which we are thankful. Darby is especially appreciative of the opportunity to pursue her dreams of acting and of all the people who support and follow her. Moving from Louisville to Los Angeles has been a big life change for Darby, and she has met, interacted with and worked with a great number of people who have made the journey interesting, fun and exciting. Darby sends a huge thank-you to her managers Nelson Parks and Garrett Lindsay at The ESI Network, who have been helping her in all aspects of her professional development.
2018 has been a year of new opportunities and adventures for Darby. She worked background for a Volkswagen commercial and two music videos; one was Tiana’s “Just My Type”, as mentioned in the previous blog post. The other was Disney’s “Legendary”, which featured several talented young stars from shows on The Disney Channel. In October, Darby did a photoshoot for an upcoming Google Play ad. And this week, she will be playing a supporting part in a short film. As for her training, Darby takes sit-com classes at Scott Sedita Acting Studios, scene study classes at Krater Studios and improv classes at LA Connection. She continues to work with director Wendy Faraone in private lessons, and she has begun taking lessons with a voice coach.
Darby still loves walking around LA, looking for wild Pokemon, and she is working on learning to ride her skateboard. She also enjoys comics and spent a few days exploring the vast wonderland of the San Diego Comic-Con. She had a couple of years of piano lessons in Louisville, and she now teaches herself to play new pieces on her electronic keyboard.
