1. When did you join myFanPark?

I joined in 2019!

2. What's your favorite interaction to offer?

Seriously - all of them! I love the video shoutouts. It’s really cool to have a way to connect with people! Most of the time the request has all the info you need to give a proper fun shoutout!

3. Why do you think it's so important to offer things like audition feedback?

Auditions are always going to be subjective but it’s always nice to have an extra set of experiences eyes take a look. The feedback is also always a subjective aspect that every performer should intake through the filter of their ‘instrument’ and what serves them best. Every now and then you may get a nugget of gold that just adds that little extra to your performance or helps your strengthen your confidence in your process. I think anything that helps you feel like you’ve got your best hat in the ring is a good thing!

4. Have you ever had any crazy fan interactions?

So far it’s been pretty safe and fun! There have been the odd request or comment that pushes the boundaries. But the app has safety measures to keep most things on the up and up.

10. and finally, if you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Oooooh! Let’s say superpowers exist then I’d love to have the power to gain (not steal!) other people’s powers! A la Heroes. If I had to pick one I would say the ability to do whatever skill/ability you needed to do immediately ...like the Matrix download idea. ...I think
