Yes But Why ep 211 Tracey B. Wilson does lots of fun and creative stuff!

In this episode of Yes But Why, I had a really great conversation with actor/writer/director, Tracey B. Wilson.

Tracey B. Wilson started her professional career as a theatre actor. Onstage, Tracey performed improv and sketch comedy in NYC in the late 1990s. In our conversation, we talk about her experience with the NYC sketch group, Living Room Live.

Tracey also works in film and television, both in front of, and behind the camera. As well as starring in a few national commercials and several indie features, Tracey has co-written, directed and starred in several award-winning short films!

Tracey gives some great advice for freelance performers about standing up for yourself as a businessperson and getting paid what you are worth. We talk about putting in the hard work and about giving yourself the chance to change it up and have some fun. We chat about Tracey’s career in physical comedy from party mime to sports mascot to Curious George on tour! This woman is a ball of energy!

We talk about how awesome it was that event producer Jim Striebich hooked Tracey up with a traveling show playing “Vanna” for the Wheelmobile as well as two Lady Gaga tours! What??! It’s true! Tracey had a solo performance-art photography gig on Lady Gaga’s “Monster Ball” and “Born This Way Ball” tours. After this life changing experience, Tracey published the book, HEAL THIS WAY – A LOVE STORY. (Buy it for me.)

Tracey has been making the most of her time quarantining alone in NYC, becoming well acquainted with her green screen. Support Tracey B. Wilson by checking out her newest sketches at www.traceybwilson.com
