I was so happy and surprised when I found out my video had become popular and was in the first round of Top Selects.

Then, they add up all of the votes and announce the Top Ten. Next, anybody can go on the app to the Top Selects and vote for the actor who they think did really well. Every month, there is a competition and they go through and pick videos they really like and feature them as Honorable Mentions. They also have a feature called “Act Back Track” where they have some celebrities and other really good actors who have recorded themselves reading the other part. It is easy to pick a scene and a character that you like and record yourself acting through the app. It was so fun and easy!ĬelebMix: For those of us who have not heard or used the app just yet, can you explain a little bit about what the process is like when submitting your audition video up onto the app?Įliza Pryor: The app is really easy to use and is great practice for when you are asked to audition for a role like Isabella in Raven’s Home ! You can record it and re-record it until you have a video you really like. I pulled up a scene that I really liked and I recorded myself acting and uploaded it to Scenebot. I went home and downloaded it on my Mom’s phone. At the end of the workshop, I grabbed a flyer advertising the app for Scenebot on it. Can you tell us a little bit about how that came about? How did you hear about the app in the first place?Įliza Pryor: I signed up for a casting director workshop that was in my hometown in Texas. I don’t know if I will ever get used to the traffic but the weather is the BEST!ĬelebMix: I read that you used an app to help score your dream career. At first, I was going back and forth to Texas a lot, but now I spend most of my time in LA. I love being able to go to the beach, eat at great sushi restaurants, and I have found the best ice cream places. Now, I have met some great friends in LA and like to go to acting and dance classes with them. I was also getting used to being homeschooled. It took some time to adjust at first because we didn’t know where to go or what to do. I went to some beginner classes and really loved it!ĬelebMix: Have you had time to adjust to life in Los Angeles? How’s it been so far?Įliza Pryor: I first went out to LA in January 2017 and I was really excited because I had never really been to LA before. I didn’t know a lot about acting then, but she told me to go to some acting classes to see if I like it as much as singing and dancing. She sent my parents an e-mail and asked to meet with us. There was a Dallas talent agent who came to a couple of our shows. I trained and performed with a lot of other really talented kids. Fast forward to today and now she’s on one of the hottest shows on Disney! We got to chat with the budding actress to chat about her experience with Scenebot, her role on Raven’s Home, and what she hopes for her future!ĬelebMix: First off, to get to know you a bit better, why did you choose to pursue a career in acting?Įliza Pryor: Well, I started off in the industry singing and performing when I was seven. Technology, right? Pryor was able to meet her very own agent after just putting up just one audition video. It’s not every day you hear about someone getting noticed for their acting chops via an app but it happens! This is true for actress Eliza Pryor who is actually guest starring in tonight’s brand new episode of Raven’s Home.
