Time Twisting Rhyme Heart ♥ Dear Tom & Gi

[@rewildwithus]

“Her success is not proof that you’re losing. Her success if proof that it’s possible.” A quote I always try to keep in mind when I find myself caught in the negativity of comparison.

[@EllieDoesLife]

Carrie your channel is the happiest corner of the internet ❤️

[@julesmerlo]

honestly celinde keeps me alive she's amazing

[@xplayitlouderx]

Celinde is so unbelievably beautiful I can‘t even..

"you can look at them and see all of these amazing opportunities that they've achieved, and use that to light a fire under your own ass so you go on to achieve amazing things" - Carrie Hope Fletcher 2k18

[@erinmariecece]

I can not stress how important that note you gave on comparing yourself to others is, especially for those involved with the arts. "Do not blow out someone else's light, to make yours seem brighter."

[@cristinasjourney]

I sent a letter back in 2014 with an Ecuadorian bag and two weeks ago I got my reply. To be honest for the first 2 years I just thought that I'd never get a reply and later I just forgot. So it was lovely when I got my mail and suddenly there was an envelope with a dragon and a Carrie stamp. It totally made my day. So if you are still waiting, don't worry it's worth it. And to Carrie, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to each letter :) Have a great day!

[@Melissaonline22]

Celinde and Eva noblezada and Carrie just make me happy

[@priscillawesson2162]

Awww, the bit when Buzz hugs Tom! Your nephews are the cutest! Xx

[@bjcressy]

Tom & Buzz......Oh my heart!

[@Caxxaline]

You can either chose to be inspired or intimidated. I was told this during my acting school and I found it really helps.

[@imogenna_]

Damn that driving metaphor about sticking on your own road, that really hit hard and made me think. Thank you Carrie

[@paulajayne444]

It really is a shame that now a days influencers and the like have to put a disclosure and say 'this is not sponsored, I am not being paid to say this' etc etc etc. Great video Carrie, your part of the internet is full of love, happiness and positivity, and I love watching and listening to you, you are an amazing human being, there should definitely be more Carrie Hope Fletcher's in the world. Wishing you luck for the Heathers tour. Hope you have a great weekend xxxxxx

[@imogenna_]

I think in the UK they legally have to say whether something is an advertisement or sponsored content xx

[@paulajayne444]

@@imogenna_Yes, I agree with you, and if it is a sponsored ad, then they say so, so they shouldn't have to say it's Not sponsored when it's not, only say if it is sponsored if it is. So if nothing gets said, then we know it's not an ad, well that's what I think anyway, +carrie hope fletcher what do you think? xxx

[@anastasiastonestreet1023]

An 18 min Carrie vlog. After a long day at work? yes please. you sounded exquisite

[@mmuller6786]

I just have to say that I absolutely loved the metaphor with your own road and watching other people on their roads. It's just so true!

[@lydiatang5561]

When Tom shows Buzz and Buddy beauty and the beast clip that is literally the best moment of the entire video

[@SuperCrazybumblebee]

Adore the blue and green dresses on you. The little dance you did following was the one you did for the video when you house sat for Tom and Gi years ago (one of my fav vid's).

[@laurahill5590]

Carrie is a really good role model, everything about her life and how lovely she is and how she's stayed true to herself all this time is so inspiring

[@PirateArwen]

Omg when "colors of the wind" was being sung, I almost cry. I'm so sad I didn't get to see that live, the whole show looked amazing :(

[@elliehopesuzanne]

The car and road analogy is just, 👏👏👏👏... thank you. ♥️

[@TechnologyFML]

Your advice about finding the characters was so spot-on. When I was in a local production of Les Mis, our Javert had played the part in a different production. It was incredibly difficult to get him to re-find the character with us, because he was so dead-set on recreating the character from the other production. Finally, he realized it just wasn't working and he started reacting to the rest of the cast better (though the habit didn't seem to break entirely). It made the show less jarring, for sure!

[@millywilliams9752]

i still can't believe i was there. It was a dream come true to meet you (again!) and the rest of the fantastic people involved! You are amazing and thank you

[@kibbles456]

I've been having a bit of a Carrie-binge today and it's exactly what I needed. You're just so wonderfully pleasant and your positivity is contagious. Thank you for sharing little bits and pieces of your life - you're an inspiration!

[@lavenqueen]

Your road and car analogy is so inspirational and it’s such a wonderful way to view people.

[@ediepatey3160]

I started getting vibes from the old advice videos at the 12 minute mark and it literally warmed my spirit

[@Waggers789]

Your section on Envy in the video was great. I went through a very bad stage of jealous and envy of a couple of friends and that was because I was had no confidence and a rubbish place. I’ve even removed myself from social networks sites, so I wouldn’t see how amazing there lives were compared to mine. I love my friends to bits and I’m lucky to have them and I’ve now changed and things are better but I do still get jealous (which I guess is normal) but the way you described it made so much sense. Anyone out there who gets jealous etc just remember your time will come and don’t give up.

[@lilynewstead4895]

These are my 4 favourite musical theatre ladies!! Xx

[@vickislater7919]

Thank you Carrie.. I needed that good kick up the arse reminder to focus on my road, rather than focusing on other people's roads all the time! Comparing myself to others all the time is not a positive or productive thing to do - I am the one in my car, going on this journey. I always enjoy watching your videos - we need more of your positivity on the internet and in the world!

[@leahdowney2465]

Can’t wait to see u as Veronica Carrie your gonna smash it 💚

[@tss6295]

I love what you said at the end of this video about finding individuality in the characters. That is so important to making a show come to life!

[@Elmocelmo]

Tom proudly showing his kids that "auntie Carrie" is singing beauty and the beast was beautiful

[@AlexShinnickJustAlDreamer]

I agree! Being healthy on tour is sooo difficult. I’m on tour in Italy at the moment and I just want to eat all the pasta and consume all the wine!

[@LyndaM85]

Ahhh Alex is so happy to have mention in your vlog. You make him so happy on his bad days your videos, pictures and memories of meeting you help him through it

[@melodica256]

Your rant on jealousy mirrors the fortune cookie you showed us: "jealousy is a useless emotion" Loved the new clothes from Apricot, especially the blue off-shoulder dress

[@FinianBlaxhall]

Body image and that - Hearing you voice your concerns about your body and only talking about its performance and health. It's admirable, demonstrates a healthy attitude, I think. Go you, Carrie x

[@miachalupa]

It’s amazing how the universe works out. Thanks for the little motivational blurb, Honorary Big Sister. It was really needed. 💕

[@lazaruz01]

I’ve been dealing with heavy feelings about life in general for quite some time...then Carrie gives me a pep talk. ❤️❤️ So proud to. be a Hopeful.

[@k1tkat-kate]

Ugh that concert just looks like THE MOST FUN!!!!! I bet you guys really enjoyed yourselves. So excited for you to start Heathers!

[@kcowan97]

Carrie, I am so glad you said that bit about following your own road. I decided to take summer courses this year and I feel like I'm constantly comparing myself to my friends who aren't in school and are having fun in the sunshine! I really needed to hear what you said. It felt like a splash of cold water in my face to remind me of my priorities. Thank you, thank you, thank you. xoxo

[@kathycooke2501]

I was part of the book!!! Eek. I felt so happy when you mentioned it!! Also I can't get Colours of the Wind out of my head now.

[@bethr1027]

I'm currently autoplaying your entire channel while I recover from my sinus infection (no singing for me) and you lift my mood so much! I love your little inspirational talks ❤️

[@lnolen101]

Carrie I love your channel. You made me realize that I can be a stage actress and live comfortable, thank you for everything you do

[@eveeludbrook]

The concert was sooo good!! I absolutely loved it! You’re all super talented and I felt so proud looking at all your lovely smiley photos in the programme and listening to your incredible voices! Thanks for entertaining us so well!! ☺️

[@jessicafulkerson8364]

I've said it before, but her videos always make me so happy! Lots of love from Canada, you've got this!!

[@darciaglaucerica]

Had a cry when my drawing of Carrie showed in the video! ❤️

[@Baileyykatt]

The girl of the songs which one is it??

[@darciaglaucerica]

Bai Hutton It’s the one at 2:35, based on Carrie’s picture from her album ❤️😊

[@nicoleinneverland8872]

Carrie, I recently started watching a lot of your videos (I come from Adam Hattan's channel) and I have to say you are one of the most positive and inspiring people I have ever had the privilege of watching. Recently I have been down about the road I am on vs the road I see other people on, and your perspective really opened my eyes. I thank you for being a light and a positive voice in the back of my brain recently. Please continue making this incredible content, you have no idea how many lives you touch.

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

Carrie’s vlogs are the very definition of happiness and joy. ❤️

[@hoi069]

13.25 carrie agressively air-steering a metaphorical car is now my new visual for this concept of focusing on your own success. Whenever I feel envious, this is the image I'm gonna use to get myself back on track

[@hoi069]

(seeing as veronica sawyer is my absolute dream role I'm very much having to use it right now watching you talk about playing the part hahahaha but I'm obviously very happy for you aaah you're gonna be such a good veronica I can't wait to see it in the summer!!!!!)

[@swiftyphan96]

You getting night-before butterflies before rehearsals for Heathers gave me butterflies too. I love Heathers and I will be living vicariously through you during your journey of being Veronica

[@audedupuis261]

Hi Carrie! I've been following you on KZbin for years now and I just wanted to tell you I admire your personality and your work a lot. Watching your vlogs while writing my thesis has really been a motivation lately so thank you! Good luck with Heathers and all of your projects! xoxo ❤️

[@georgegavas8771]

Your so amazing Carrie hope fletcher and love watching your videos they make me smile and what you say about jealousy is so Wright and coming from a fellow performer means a lot keep being you and amazingxxxx

[@aribailey8405]

Im so excited to see your adventure with this character!! 💕

[@Dinozilla626]

What you said about comparing yourself to others was exactly what I needed to hear right now.

[@ericagerold]

I can't wait for rehearsal vlogs!!💛❤️💚💙

[@annazoe1330]

Your legs from the waist down were sore... do you have any other legs?? Is this a confession that you have an extra leg that's sticking out your back or something OOH MAYBE IT'S A FLETCHER FAMILY GENETIC ABNORMALITY AND IT'S ACTUALLY THE SOURCE OF YOUR INSANE AMOUNTS OF TALENT!

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

Anna Zoe haven’t got to this part yet but this comment made me howl 😂😂😂😂

[@annazoe1330]

Lizzie Dean Makes I'm very glad 😂 x

[@millypep]

I did question in my head also that from the waist down is her whole leg... isn't it?! 🙊

[@romantheflash]

Concentrating on your own track in life, is so important, but so hard to do sometimes. Very good advice. (I also love the characters finding you, rather than you finding the character. One of my favorite things about acting)

[@lucyrakauskas]

Love this whole video! Lovely mix of types of shots. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimberlyfromtheshire1658]

I agree about the road thing you were talking about in the video, I tend to not look at social media now, just focus on myself and the path I'm on. Right now I'm feel down and depressed, have given up, don't know what to do anymore. Good luck for Heather's and enjoy.

[@RachaelChau]

The "give me space" shirt is PERFECTION

[@tss6295]

I am absolutely LOVING your makeup look! And all of you are so so so talented - I can't stand it (honestly all of you are goals for my musical theatre career).

[@colecerys123]

Magic of Animation was incredible and it was so wonderful meeting you xx

[@Meg-space]

Comparison is the thief of joy

[@LiamODellUK]

That analogy about following your own path being like driving a car - WHAT a brilliant metaphor to describe it! Love it! Loved this vlog, Carrie. ^__^

[@JodiJ23]

So glad you liked the book xxx

[@AnEveningWithE]

So stoked for you and this process, and so excited to see all the behind the scenes footage!

[@thebookishnerd24]

You know, I was actually watching Tom’s video of when he and Gi were writing their 2nd book for Eve of Man, and it actually inspired me to write a little bit as well. And it’s actually true that you have those two options! So, that’s what I’m doing rather than just being jealous with envy. And especially when you, Tom, and Gi talk about writing and such like that I am a bit inspired to write my own things! Hahaha! And do your own thing, Carrie, just care what you’re doing and no one else! Don’t care what people think, it’s really what you think about yourself and what you care about yourself and such! Just do you and also just be you! So, I am also sending loads, loads, loads, and loads of love! X 😃☝🏻❤️✌🏻

[@ifmusicbethefoodofloveplay8076]

Really wonderful video Carrie! Thanks also for the piece about comparing to others and envy! That was something I really connected with that I'd like to share why- I haven't been lucky enough to have been cast in anything so far in the musical theatre society at university when friends of mine have and I've gone 'what did I get so wrong' and 'was I so bad at my audition?' but I was lucky enough to join the production team of those shows! and I realised that I was still part of it and being a green monster wasn't going to do anything but take me somewhere that I'd struggle to come back from! People have said to me that they look to me for positivity when get in and dress rehearsals are stressful and they're not feeling so mentally okay as they could be; which feels so so humbling. I still have hope for the future

[@arielmarie8493]

Always enjoy watching you're vlogs💙

[@dgdhbdjkfj]

I’ve been doing my GCSEs for the past couple weeks and so I haven’t had the chance to catch up for the last couple months and now I finally get a break and you’re in heathers???? I’m gonna cry omg

[@eugenekaziw1371]

You are a very talented young lady.

[@katemargaret79]

[@josephineamybakewell57]

At some point would you be able to show us how you do your vocal warmup? I've got a mediocre singing voice, and I'm trying to improve.

[@jhelisacarroll]

Josephine Amy Bakewell if you look back on her Les Mis vlogs, a lot of them show her and the cast warming up together! Someone’s made a whole playlist of them, I think it’s called Carrie’s Theatre Vlogs or something like that!

[@josephineamybakewell57]

Jhelisa C Thanks, I'll have a look for it.

[@lucycooksley]

WORK THOSE CLOTHES!!!! Look gorgeous Xxx

[@LottieManning]

Izzy Bradley I hope that the exam went well.

[@EmilyMaeChristie]

you really inspire me! I'm going to university in September to study theatre (which is something I would never have thought I'd be able to do) and i can't wait!I'm so happy you're in Heathers too and I hope it's amazing even though I'm not able to come and watch because I'm having a hip replacement just after it starts. Please post some of the songs on here because of love to hear your version of them! 💗

[@louisepickup5319]

JoGirl. I started singing the song when that came up 😂
