Diana Noris- Dedication And Persistence (As A Latina Actress) (September 2021)

How has Covid affected your life? Positively or negatively? How so?

“In so many ways, I feel like this pandemic has revealed a lot about myself. Like the rest of us, being closed off from the rest of the world for so many months put me in the position of really having to take stock of what is truly important and also reflect on where I was in life.

It was like all of a sudden, the world was forced to come to a stop, and in my ways, I think my inner world did as well, and I was thrust into a whirlwind of introspection. I think it’s easy to say something is strictly just a “positive” or “negative” thing, but something I’ve come to learn throughout my life is that very rarely is anything just a “positive” or “negative” thing, and in fact, very often are both; it’s just a matter of perspective really.

For me, it’s a little difficult trying to put together how COVID has effected me negatively because I always end up thinking of all the people who have suffered so much more than I ever have throughout this pandemic. I feel lucky being able to say that the most I was negatively affected were the loss of time and structure to my day-to-day life and how everything else suffered as a result, not to mention the massive blow to the acting industry as a whole throughout lockdown. I think that was also the toughest for me; having to financially, mentally and even physically adapt to this new and scary world we very quickly found ourselves in.”

What are three things that you do to prepare before an audition, or a show, to be as prepared as possible?

“Even in my present moment, it can be very stressful preparing for an audition or performance. I think it’s important to perform meditation and breathing exercises. Spending time with family is strong support, and also a super-strong coffee. Study: know the objective, research character, memorization skills. Meditate: Do breathing exercises, go to a happy place. It’s also important to be punctual or an hour early to get familiarized with your crew, cast, and surroundings.”

If you could perform for three industry executives for one night, and you get to pick which three are invited to your show, who would you pick, on a global scale, if given the opportunity? Why so?

“Oprah/Victoria Alonso (Argentine)/Emma Thomas. They are fearless, brave, go-getters, strong, and all women. I believe in girl power.”

Where can we find your work, if we wish to do so?

“You can find my works on my IMBD as well as my website diananoris.com, www.diananoris.biz.”

What are some reasons we should see your next performance?

“We are in weird times; it seems as though the pandemic has affected us all in different ways, both positive and negative. The time at home has served me to rest my mind, body, and soul. This has allowed introspection and aid for improvement in all areas and aspects of my life. One of them was revisiting previous roles in my career; and I asked myself, “Can you do this better?”

What began as a challenging task turned into a light-hearted activity that my son, cats, and I enjoyed most making me appreciate the art of acting to an entirely different level. As it isn’t the attention, fame, or money that I’ve sought after, it is the sharing of the soul, being the medium of my culture, the roots of my people, and most importantly, the inspiration I once needed. In watching my subsequent films, I hope to inspire women afraid to take a risk and follow their dreams. I, too, was once one of them–I too have prevailed. I believe that no matter your age, genre, or nationality, you can accomplish anything you want.”
