Too Ugly to Be an Actor | Dealing with Insecurity

[@two-face1041]

It’s odd because your blond hair looks more natural The the brown to me

[@Kath_Steele]

Right?! I feel like it fits my personality better too

[@nothudanasir]

I'VE THOUGHT THIS SINCE YOU'VE DYED UR HAIR IM SO CONFUSED

[@two-face1041]

Katherine Steele I’ve subbed within the last year so I legit thought this was your normal hair color and that the brown hair (which I saw in old thumbnails) was you dying your hair and then you decided to stop dying it 😬

[@superstarem]

totally suits your personality. the light color matching your light bubbly personality/ ray of sunlight

[@girlwithadream5608]

Right???!!!!!

[@jaydafranks3295]

I AM ALSO A FAN OF YOUR EYEBROWS

[@nancyvilchis1575]

I like my kindness I like my eyes God I really needed this today, recently I auditioned for Sandy on grease (I am short, latina, brown hair and eyes) and the director said my voice was perfect for the role but he couldn't cast me as Sandy because I didn't looked like Olivia Newton John and yeah it kind of got to me, but you really cheered me up!!

[@paloma_castrog]

OMG! That is sooo bad. I’m Mexican and I deal with this problem too. But you know what, talent is the only thing you need. My teacher just saw my potential and she let me be Sandy, so, I encourage you to audition for whatever you want. Because talent is the only thing necessary

[@SerenityAutumn]

WOW. There's something called creative liberty. As a half Latina, I would love to see you in the role.

[@donstory5097]

I tryed to audition for spiderman they said my eyes cross eyed...😑

[@spenceyboyyyy224]

That’s wrong. Whoever did that to you is horrible. Don’t let them get you down.

[@stressmuffin]

I’m sorry that you didn’t get the role over that BS reason! I’m not surprised if the girl, who got the role of Sandy sucked in the role. 😡👎🖕. Max Crum won the role of Danny on the TV show “Grease: You’re the One That I Want”, despite of him being the least physically attractive guy amongst the other candidates. So happy that Max best those 💩 talking, hunky beefcake competitors of his! 👏😆👍🤩

[@andiebenzedrine7459]

I had a really tough audition today, so I need this: 1.) I’m really inclusive, and I like to say I’m a sweet person, even though a little naive 2.) I like that I have a loud belt, and I’m 5’2”. And I don’t hate that! The contrast between my size and the size of my voice is who I am, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

[@lyrie1652]

Heyy 5'2" buddiessss

[@gracealixe2106]

External: I like my psoriasis.. it’s a condition where I have red blotches all over my face and body. It’s always been such an insecurity of mine but recently I’ve learned to love it because it makes me so unique! Internal: I like how I can be friendly and accept everyone

[@Norikai766]

everyone: loves their eyes Me: has one literal goats eye

[@marleymarley8347]

That cool as fuck! Love you💕💞💕

[@jokingbanana1042]

I mean... that’s pretty cool...

[@olevandongen96]

That's kind of amazing, also somewhat unsettling. I think awesome is the word I'm looking for

[@Natalie-101]

That's interesting and cool asf I bet you're pretty🥰

[@RaeannaFreson]

I love my eyes!! I love my loyalty!! I’m 4”8 girl I get ya!! Oh yea and Judy garland Dorothy gale herself was only like 4”11 so she is a huge inspiration to me!

[@Kath_Steele]

Yes!!! 💖💖💖👏👏👏

[@swiftkat6937]

yoo i'm 4'9 lol

[@ariespecula]

KATHRIENE NO UR S0 PRETTY AND UR SO AMAZING SO HUSH U ARE THE BEST!!!

[@hannahcarlisle2661]

Internal: determination External: my height (lol 15 girl and 5”9) I like being to tall I love you 😍😍❤️❤️

[@lilyblake5887]

Hannah Carlisle I've been 5'8" since the seventh grade so I totally feel you!!

[@maggiereid4564]

Im 5'9 as well but it makes me self conscious lol

[@ryleemorrow6811]

I hate being tall, it makes me feel not delicate enough for the roles I wanna play, but im working on my self esteem

[@lakefeatherss]

External: My height I guess. I'm 5'7", and it's fun to be tall. Internal: My loyalty to my friends, I guess. I stick with them through thick and thin, and if you mess with my friends, you mess with me. This actually helped my self esteem. I've actually never auditioned for a show yet, but every time I think about roles I would love to play, most of them don't think I'd be cast for. Time to go slay some vampires.

[@jdchaparro3699]

YES KATHERINE! I love how you totally snatched those vocal teachers wigs by mentioning wigs! I appreacaite my eyebrows too. And I think my creativity is my big internal thingy.

[@anastapatsak]

I'm just browsing through the comments and I think the Theatre Thursday fam must be like the BEST PEOPLE EVER, everyone is saying as their internal trait they are there for other peole or always try to make others happy or are empathetic, kind, polite and great listeners.. GO FAM! AND GO KAT!

[@audreyandel4790]

also I'm doing Into The Woods right now and neither of our Cinderella's are blonde? I've never seen a blonde Cinderella in Into The Woods what a weird thing for her to say.

[@mickieasom2247]

You played into the woods?

[@coralkestler3762]

Internal: I like my cheerfulness. External: I like my eyes. Thank you, Kat. Needed this today. 😊

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

Internal: I love making everyone feel welcomed and included. External: I’m super short (I’m shorter than you Kat!!) and you know, I’m really proud of my height. I’m still a little insecure about my height but I’m getting there! :) I need to find those quotes that really helped you Kat! I hope they can help me as well!

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

Catherine Hicks Awwee this made me smile so much :’) Thank you so much ❤️

[@emmadelucia5733]

Also: "carlittle" 😂

[@jacquelinelacker849]

I needed this video so much right now. Thank you katherine for addressing this important topic. You are such an insperation and I just love you, just thank you for always being so kind an curteous. To answer your questions internally I love that I am a good listener and I always just want to put a smile on people's faces. And outerly I love my smile.

[@Kath_Steele]

Sending you lots of love!! xx

[@jacquelinelacker849]

Katherine Steele ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rhiannonabrams9345]

I've struggled with self-esteem my entire life, and I really appreciate this video. I have always thought that I was too new and unprepared to be an actress, but it's always been my dream. Thank you so much for showing me that all I have to do to be a great actress is be me!

[@theresac.7264]

1: I like my kindness and always wanting to help people! 2: I really like my eyes! (Also, HI KATHERINE!!!)

[@Kath_Steele]

love it!! (AND HI!)

[@madisonschmidt7304]

Internal: I love my kindness and ability to make everyone feel loved! I am also very polite and professional. External: I have naturally thin eyes. (Which appear thinner when I have makeup on) however, this year, I have started to take up modeling! My thin eyes actually give me one less thing to think about when I am in a photo shoot because they naturally look like a "smize" (if you wanna call it that XD). Since I don't have to worry about my eyes that much I can focus on other things! ALSO, You absolutely laid the smack-down on that voice teacher!! Seriously, I was like "YOU TELL HER GIRL!!"

[@gracetoman9523]

Thank you for this video! I auditioned for The Little Mermaid, and didn’t audition for Ariel because I thought I was too fat. Then, I got called back for Ariel and casted as a sister. This video was great! Thanks for the kind words

[@laylabruinsma7363]

It's almost 2 years after you posted this and I can say this has helped me SOOOOO much. I've been feeling insecure about how I look (I'm 5'1 1/2 and I already stopped growing while I just turned 15, maybe I'll be 5'3 but more than that definetely not, and I'm also fatter then all of my friends, but the fattness is something I learned to deal with) but I've been feeling more insecure about my skills with singing. Singing is really something that I find very very veryyy scary. Around 2 years ago I got cast in a school production and then everyone had to sing so the singing coach could see if we were all able to sing good enough for solo's. I was the youngest there and all the other people kinda shot me out. At that time I was new at that school so it was horrible. All the girls had to sing this horrible song which was very high, and I never sung so high. He would walk by and hear who were able to sing. The people who were'nt good enough he send to the side. You can guess what happened: I got send away, along with 1 other girl who didn't even want to try doing her best. I cried in myself, I remember being so damn sad and scared that they would see that I was holding back tears. ' Last year we had auditions for the new production (I'm from the Netherlands, we don't do shows very often) and that time you had to sing at the audition. The same singing coach would take a group of like 7 to a diffrent room to sing and we had to sing this very weird riddle with a strange melody. That time he would write down if you were good enough, so I didn't know if he found me good enough. I got in the prodution again, but my best friend who had been in the previous didn't. So I had to do it without her while she was so sad and though she wasn't good enough. I have to sing a trio with another girl and a guy. Me and the girl sing together to the guy. Here my insecurety pops up again. The other girl looks like she isn't insecure about her singing. While she just sings that song that is awfully high again I stand there like an awkward potato. (Also, I don't think that the singin coach said I coud sing solo, because that song we're singing is like us as a friend group but I think that something went wrong with the list of yesses and no's cause he looked not so happy that I was the one that had to sing it too) Now the production is maybe not even going to happen because the directress had her 3rd kid a year ago and she is 'out of the running' for quit a while. Maybe the singing coach will do the production, we don't know. ~lol I don't know were I'm going wiwth this story I'm just gonna write down my life for anyone who'll read this hi I love you~ Also I did like musical beside school and we did legally blonde I was a professor like from Harvard because I got in when the rehearsels were already happened so they just got me that role. Then we did Grease and I got Sandy but again: they scrapped Hopelessly devoted to you and they said it was beause it wouldn't be fair to the other kids and it would be too long but the other kids were like wtf let her sing that song (Danny got to sing all of his songs and even Rizzo) and it wasn't too long it was like an hour so you could see they did it becase they found I couldn't sing good enough. All these teachers made me believe I can't sing but you know I really think that I can sing. I know what the singing coach likes: High. previous production one girl sang a solo he said along with all the others omg was so good while it sounded horrible lol all of my friends and stuff who saw the show hated how she sang so maybe it's just taste a lot too. I'm just gonna keep on singing and enjoying it and I've had private singing lessons but that guy stopped after 6 weeks because he got a better job or something. Now I'm searching for a new one and I think I found one that I like. I want to be a musical star, on Broadway (same as everyone here lol). My acting is at the point were I think it's really good and my dancing too and deep in my heart I know that my singing is too but I just need the securety to show it. Oh yeah and I like my hair and eyes and that if someones depressed I can talk to them and they feel better(I'm just there for anyone who needs me) i feel arrogant now. I feel so mmotivated by this now lol

[@kyra_is_autumn]

We need a lot more empowering videos like this 💕 External I love my hair and my smile and internal my biggest strength is my compassion and my calm.

[@Kath_Steele]

💖💖

[@acrylicgodoy]

I love how I have learned that I don't have to empathize 100% of the time anymore. I can choose to diatance myself without feeling guilty, and that is so liberating. I am proud of my hair as a physical trait, and am still learning to embrace my voice, which is so soft people don't take me seriously.

[@iamonlyming3390]

1. I'm incredibly polite, I will go out of my way to be nice to someone, regardless of my feelings on them personally. 2. I have really nice eyes. They're blueish grayish. And change shades depending on mood and weather. ALSO, where my under 5ft crew? 4'11" ftw.

[@osexcluidos9127]

[@iwillbegreat]

Internal- I like my emotions, joy, sadness and my personality External- I like my face and freckles 4 years late but I think this is working for me

[@jamayarodgers196]

Kath thank you so much. I'm literally crying. You honestly don't know how much I needed to hear this (':

[@Kath_Steele]

sending you lots of love!!!

[@AngelinaDNicholas]

love, love, LOVE this video, Kath! So much wisdom and empowerment in this. I had a professor point out in class all the pretty girls and let them know that they're the young and beautiful ingenues who fall in love, and then proceeded to tell my friend and I (who are plus size women) that we have to play the roles of moms, teachers, or even villains but would never play ingenues because of how we look. It really hurt me and my friend, especially because this professor was plus sized herself but told us what we "could and couldn't do". Fun fact: I was the understudy for Mabel in Pirates of Penzance and the lead role in an original musical, both characters aren't moms, teachers, or villains. Best moments ever.

[@kittee6409]

External: I like my green eyes. Internal: I like that I never give up. Ever.

[@thalesfeliphe2045]

Olivia D'Angelo yeah

[@kittee6409]

Thales Feliphe what do you mean?

[@mattieembrey402]

I've been feeling really down lately because I've always been cast with the roles that nobody wants in school plays, even though I have always loved acting tremendously. For years I've been not wanting to even audition anymore. But then I watched this video, and realized that I'd been trying to immitate the "best" theater kids, instead of embracing myself. Thank you so much for making this! I promise that I will show the casting directors who I am next time I get on the stage! You have no idea how much I needed this, and I can't express my gratitude enough!

[@HaleyRadiant]

External: I love my rare blue eye color, makes me feel kinda special internally 💙 Internal: I like that I can be easily approachable to everyone and make people laugh over a little chuckle or even big depending on the convo ☺️

[@Alyssa-cn6so]

We hear this a lot as actors, but I've never heard it phrased so well!! The way you said this helped me finally understand it fully. Being authentically yourself is truly the biggest advantage!

[@Lily-sp9xc]

y’all are so beautiful and talented inside and out. never let anyone tell you otherwise, because you can’t let someone else run your life.

[@marinaelaine5817]

i like my supportiveness towards other people i like my eyes and my eyelashes (I’m just counting that as one) also KATHERINE YOUR BEAUTIFUL

[@hanne9100]

Normally I absolutely hate hearing why I’m wrong, but this is an exception. Thank you for this, Kath, from the bottom of my heart. I’m not even 5ft tall and I’m probably about done growing. Being super self conscious about my height has been an ongoing thing for me. The most annoying thing of all time is when the first words out of someone’s mouth right after they meet me is “oh my gosh, how tall are you?!” I’m going to try the list like you had, and your name is going to be first on it💕💕 Also the challenge: I really love my eyes, and my intuition and how in tune I am with other people’s feelings

[@Kath_Steele]

♥️♥️♥️

[@sphynxnightmare]

This is extremely inspiring. I always tell others to write good things about themselves and hang them where they could read them but I never take my own advice. I think that will change today. Internally, I like that I'm intelligent. Not that I'm some genius or have a high IQ score, I'm just constantly studying new things and constantly learning. Externally, I like my freckles. So many people hide theirs but I embrace mine. They're cute.

[@bubblegumanimations4561]

Omg I would have loved to see the sass you pulled with that voice teacher in person!!! What an ignorant comment😂 I know you were an amazing Cinderella and you work the blonde hair and brown💕💕

[@marquessafarnsworth5983]

Physical: I love my big eyes Internal: I love my happy friendly personality

[@sophiedot7550]

I like my hair, it's red and I love it. I also like how accepting I am of everyone I meet. Thanks for this video Kat😁. As someone who is only 5ft and struggles with being overweight, this video is really encouraging. I have a bad habit of assuming I won't ever get anywhere in life because of my size but that isn't true. Thanks for the self esteem boost☺!

[@Kath_Steele]

💟💟💟

[@lucymarous6732]

You are so lucky! I’m in love with red hair!

[@ashesvk]

I just had a visitor in one of my classes basically talk about this too. It's something we constantly need to remind ourselves to do. I am extremely passionate about what I do and try to one-up myself every day. I'm also proud that I challenged myself to listen to a new musical every day and I've been committed to that for a year now. And externally I love my blue eyes!

[@erin_the_extra2329]

I like my ability to belt my heart out and act the songs I sing. I like my curly brown hair. Thanks, Kath. I needed this.

[@Kath_Steele]

[@erin_the_extra2329]

Katherine Steele I can’t tell you how much I needed this when you posted the video. I was in a really crappy place. I’d suck in my stomach constantly, I’d stopped eating very much and I dropped 10 lbs in a week. Twice. I still am pretty insecure but I’m doing much better thanks to theatre and all my theatre friends. It’s my saving grace and I’m so glad you’re there for all the lil theatre kids out there. You help us more than you can ever know ❤️❤️

[@BerryandtheBeast]

I think we can all agree that Kat's eyebrows are goals 💕 I feel like my biggest strength is that I will be everyone's cheerleader! I love encouraging and empowering other people when they feel discouraged or down on themselves. Externally, I have grown to really love my freckles 💕

[@angie6818]

internal: my love for my friends external: my entire self

[@theresacarpinelli6627]

Things that I like about myself: I love that I'm a good listener, I give really good advice! Also I love my hair, its big and curly! Thanks for this video Katherine!!

[@tearoses9940]

I like my ability to read people’s emotions and my eyes. I guess they kind of go hand-in-hand with each other, lol

[@DolphinGirl285]

I had a terrible day yesterday, and seeing this made me feel so much better! One internal thing I like about myself is my ability to use words to my advantage and to empower myself. One external thing I like about myself is my hair :) I really needed this 💕

[@rainatl5y]

This is why I love you. 😊💕

[@chrisoneill325]

Im just a 32 yr old guy with no theatre background (though Ive taught many actresses how to ride horses), who found your channel(s) through a random KZbin rabbit hole of Broadway related videos, and I have been binging ever since. Let me tell you - I needed to hear this. Life has been rough lately and it's been taking its toll. To all your younger viewers - It does get better. They never truly go away, you just learn how to better slay those vampires. Anyway, Im always up for a challenge: Internal- My sense of humor, as twisted as it is sometimes. External- since you chose a face/hair related one - My beard.

[@TheAlipop13]

I like how loyal I am to people around me and I like my eyes 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@acecase5051]

I like that I can control how I show my emotions, helps me with acting I LOVE my hair, grows very quickly and is extremely healthy. God, I needed this, btw I made a discord server for you. Keep up the great work

[@miriamfelman3591]

I'm barely five feet tall and proud! As for the challenge, I like my curly hair and my caring, empathetic nature.

[@UmiHatake]

Internal: I like my academic intelligence, my friendliness and likeability in social situations External: My hair, it styles itself since it's wavy Thanks Kat, hearing you talk about this is very comforting! I've always felt insecure about my appearance....it's nerve wracking tbh but I remember when I was also cast as Cinderella in Into the Woods (a production @ my university a couple years ago) and I was SO surprised (and happy) when the cast list went up! I know external validation isn't everything, but it really helped me out!

[@reedatherton8931]

Thank you so much kat just like magic you appeared today I got braces and i thought i would never book a show cause i thought i was ugly thank you

[@Kath_Steele]

💕💕💕 I had the same thought when I got braces, and I ended up playing some of my favorite roles while I had them!

[@Thecosmiccorner333]

I like that I’m a very optimistic person. No matter what situation I am in whether it be good or bad I’m always thinking about how I’ll feel later on instead of in that moment I LOVE MY FIGURE. I hardly work out and I’ve been the same size since I was 16. Thanks for this video kat!! You’re always so positive and it brightens my day!!!

[@ryanmeneo6301]

Internal: I am very hard working and never half ass anything External: i like my hair

[@casenratliff5416]

My Internal: My dedication to theatre as a whole! My External: My height, (13 yrs old, Male, and 5"9)! I love u SOO much! I watch ur vids ALL OF THE TIME!!

[@ZoeSchnapp]

Kath, I love you. Thank you for your videos, for everything you do here. I thank you for that a lot because I really appreciate what you do. But thank you for the challenge of the day. You, once again, came in with a video I needed to watch. I've been struggling with loving myself more than usual and stopping to think about what I like, definitely made it better. My answer to the challenge is: I'm kind, I never jugde, I never make assumptions and I'm extremely open to get to know someone and help them with anything they need. And the external thing I love is my freckles. I just like them. Thank you, again. Let me just say that one thing I love about YOU is that you're you. I don't know you but through the scrern you irradiate so much light, you make me feel comfortable as if we were talking about the video subject in person. And I also love your eyebrows (kinda jealous of them btw lol) but your smile is a something else.

[@Kath_Steele]

Sending you SO much love!! 💖

[@sisi2654]

Internal: Despite having suffered a lot of emotional trauma I still love and care extremely deeply for people (this can get me in some trouble) External: I have a good face shape and proportions, just I like how my face looks A big insecurity of mine is I'm worried I don't look special, I'm average height (5'4") Brown hair, brown eyes. I know how to make my features stand out, but I'll look at all the performers with blue eyes, and read hair and it terrifies me that I won't be special enough. Also, my lack of dance training. But I'm working to better myself and gain more confidence! Which your videos help with so much, Love you Kath!

[@eliana4421]

i like my blonde hair. i like how i nice i am to people (which is funny because i'm always cast as the mean popular girl😂)

[@laurenashley1292]

Eliana When people meet me they tell me they’re surprised that I’m always casted as the mean characters because I’m literally the nicest person they know. 😂

[@salamzander]

Eliana, I love your profile picture!

[@unnyeeon]

1-I like the fact that I always strive to work harder when I fail. Even though for a couple of days I might be sad and upset with myself, I always end up working harder and doing better. 2-I also love my eyebrows. I liek how my hands are soft I want to be a performer when I enter the adult world, but I’m always so nervous that my looks won’t get me casted. Thank you for showing me and everyone that our differences are what actually help us in the long run!

[@victorpascucci4]

I love how I always try to give my friends self-confidence and hopefully I try to make them feel safe. I also love my hair, it’s amazing in all it’s glory and the style I put it in works great with the character I’m currently playing, Gomez Addams.

[@theshannonelizabeth1]

Much like you Kat, I love my kindness and welcoming spirit. I can't tell you how many coworkers have said that I am just the kindest person and I'm always so willing to help or that I make others feel welcome and at home. As for an outward thing I love, probably my hair. It's naturally curly and sometimes a pain, but I love it and its healthy and gorgeous. I'm not performing at this point in my life and I miss it like hell, but I still needed this video. Thank you so much for those kind words and lessons about how to kill my own vampires. It means the world to me and I love seeing your passion for your community and for proving others wrong. Love, love, love this video!

[@emilyramirez356]

I like that I listen and I like my hair

[@nott_pocket]

I have never needed this video more, I'd like to personally thank you. I only found out today about auditions which is in 7 days. I'm panicking, my anxiety is taking over, how am I going to get a song and a monologue down in 7 days?! I'm shy, I'm just going to break onstage, I'm breaking a little bit just thinking/writing about it, I'm not that good at singing anyway, I've never even heard the soundtrack to the musical I'm trying out for. I start to feel helpless, I know I'm going to be stuck in the chorus, I think this is what a panic attack feels like. I try to distract myself and behold: this video is the first thing in my recommended videos. You gave me hope, you grabbed my arm as I was drowning. Just, thank you! Thank you so much!

[@baileyhacker680]

Internal: I always make sure people are comfortable and safe External: my legs

Internal: I love how funny and positive I am. I like to make others feel happy and like they have someone to turn to. I like to brighten others' days! I also like how I spontaneously burst out into song. External: I love my long beautiful hair and how I can still have a beautiful, healthy-looking face at all times without makeup. I luv ya, Kat! U da best!

External: my petite figure and my curls Internal: my positivity and over-achieving nature Thank you so much for this video and for all of your positive, warm videos. You have a wonderful composure that I aspire towards. I sometimes let things intimidate and bring me down- usually my own internal vampires and you’ve inspired me to slay all of them! Thank you!❤️

[@aislinntravis8979]

I like my honesty because it tends to stifle drama, and I love my legs because they’re long but also give me curves

Thank you for talking about this Katherine. Things like this are huge parts of the industry, but we never seem to talk about them, when the only way to handle them is to come together.

This challenge is hard but I feel like it’s a great reminder for us to do every time we’re having a down day to see something we like in ourselves!! I like how friendly/welcoming I am too! I try to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible! I also like my eyes 👀💞 thank you for another wonderful video!!

[@tillie_brn]

This was such an uplifting video Kath, thank you so much, the Theatre Thursday Fam loves you. 💕 My favorite thing about myself internally is that I'm good at understanding very different opinions and points of view and that makes me a very open-minded person. :) Externally, I'd say I like my hair. It's thick, voluminous, shiny, and has a very unique caramel color!

[@Kath_Steele]

💗💗💗

[@annabelle2000lyn]

Thank you so much, I really needed this video in my life. Internal: Quick-thinking and creativity External: My eyes? I am 5 feet and have a lot of chub and fat. But I aspire to be a dancer in musical theatre. I have just been turned down by a dance college and that was my vampire. Because everyone there was taller, skinnier, more flexible and I just felt like I wasn't meant to be there. So thank you so much for saying these kind words and I'll try to keep moving forward.

Internal: I love how I can make friends easily. External: My smile its the only good thing. I auditioned for a presenter in a play for my school. The presenter is the main role and I got it, i was freaking out. This was the first time ever acting properly in something.

So I have watched this a bunch today because I had a panic attack about my body this morning. Something internal that I like about myself is that I’m a really funny person and I have a bunch of theater knowledge. Something external is my hair! I have some of the thickest hair in my family. Thank you so much for this vid Kat

[@Lily-sp9xc]

Who DARES tell Kat she’s not absolutely gorgeous? What a beautiful, talented woman.

[@YasminMarcelo]

I’m really small, 4’11, so I sympathize with you on that lady saying you won’t make it because you’re 5’2. As for the challenge, I really like how thick and wavy my hair is and I like my resilience ☺️

[@bubblegumanimations4561]

I like how I always try to make sure everyone is included and feels like they belong and external I like my long legs (great for ballet😉)

[@hannahfreundel1954]

I like how kind I am to others and how I always try my best to build others up, I like my eyes. Thank you for making this. It really made me feel better cause I love theater and my low self esteem always seems to get in the way of that. People tell me I'm too awkward for theater, or I look a lot younger than I actually am and won't be able to play certain parts for that but I love theater and it is really important to me. So thanks again, I love your videos and I hope you have a great day! 💕✨

[@leonardo70235]

Internal: I like my friendly attitude External: I like my eyes and my smile

[@anastapatsak]

This was SUCH a great video Katherine! Thank you. Also 5' 2". Also a soprano. 1. Internal: When people close to me are down or have problems I am there for them and I am cheery and positive as can be, no matter how i feel. External: I love my eyes and I really do love my body, most of the time

[@marymargaretmcneil6574]

This makes me feel so happy. I’m always worried that I won’t get lead female roles because I’m too fat. Thank you so much, you are one of my biggest inspirations!❤️❤️❤️ (I love how I’m not afraid to sing in front of anyone anymore and I love my teeth lol😂)

[@sammiephilp2637]

Katherine this video speaks to me so personally right now. I have so much insecurity with theatre right now and it's been causing a lot of emotional turmoil so this video is a gift. I gained a lot of weight in the past two years (bc college DX) and it really took a toll on my self esteem because typically you only see my casting type (ingenue) as skinny and petite. I'm just not super petite in general so it really hurt. My insecurities also lie with my voice because it's still developing but not where I want it to be and it just hurts so much when I love theatre more than anything but I never feel good enough to ever play a lead. I don't mean to tell my life story but I'm just so emotional because this video is seriously a blessing right now. Thank you so much Katherine you're a huge inspiration for me in musical theatre.

[@tyrakristiansen7188]

Oh boy, i don't like that challenge, but here goes. I like my eyecolor i guess? I have every color smushed together, so they kinda look like a painters palette. Internally is more difficult cause that's what i'm most insecure about.. Maybe my empathy? Even though it's exhausting.. Oh this was such an empowering video! I'm a person with little to no self esteem, but i'm determined to kill the vampire! KILL IT WITH FIYAAH!!

[@Kath_Steele]

But you did it!! It's hard, and taking the first (and second and third and six hundredth) step is difficult. Proud of you & sending you lots of love!! ♥️

[@tyrakristiansen7188]

Katherine Steele Thank you! That means so much to me❤

[@tyrakristiansen7188]

Monica Bhatia Aww thank you so much❤

[@juliaamundson3778]

i completely agree, empathy wears you out!! but i think that’s one of the best traits you can have becaus there’s becoming less and less people with that trait! i’m so proud of you for being empathetic. keep up the good work my love!

[@daliah8883]

That is so cool about your eyes! I would love that!

[@genevievelauren9]

Internal:I honestly love my sense of humor! External: I love my freckles!! Side note: I absolutely love your videos and you are such an inspiration to me! I sometimes feel that I am too ugly to be an actress but this video helped me so much!❤️

[@lucymarous6732]

Internal: I’m generally a pretty happy person External: My curly hair! (I know it’s straight in my pic) Thank you for spreading positivity Kat! 💕💕

[@Kath_Steele]

♥️♥️

[@jesssnellx]

I love how caring I am I love my face when I turn at the right angle in the mirror 😄 and my eyes when I am wearing mascara (and sometimes without) Thanks for this x It's always been a concern of mine that I can't make my dreams come true because if the way I act or look, so it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one with insecurities, and that dreams *do* come true. You're living proof Xx ❤️

[@AlexObcass]

OMG Thank you. Just need this, in this moment, in this day. You don't know how much this video help me in this very moment. Thank you. (Was like a sign)

[@creawilkins3861]

Internal I like my passion and love for things (in more detail: I love how I take things that I really love and turn them into a passion and outlet for me to thrive in) and external my hair I have big brown curly hair and I love it😊 I would like to thank you Katherine for making this channel a place where I feel happy and safe and welcomed never change girl💕

[@alyssamorgan1109]

Internal: my ability to never give up and keep trying External: my hair and eyes I'm 5'2 so I really get it! I tend to be shorter than all of my peers!

[@calebbennett7588]

I'm 5'0 XD

[@kendrak9442]

I like my kindness, and I also think my eyes are very pretty. I genuinely seemed out this video on your channel because I just got into my dream school for Musical Theatre and I’ve been feeling so insecure and that I’m not skilled enough to be an MT, not pretty enough, too fat to be an MT, and I really needed to hear this today, because I need to focus not on things that lead to me not growing, because I am a Musical Theatre major so I can improve as a performer. Thank you so much Katherine for this video, I love you so much 💕

[@dinnirules]

I care about others needs a lot and I love my shoulders and back

[@annar.t.8798]

I loved this video, it was so uplifting and it really made me think of myself in a different light. I’d have to say my favorite thing about me externally is my eyes. They’re a nice, dark brown and they get lighter in the sunlight. My favorite thing internally would probably have to be how honest I am... it’s a blessing and a curse, but it makes me more trustworthy.

[@saltygiraffe746]

External: my nose is really great. Internal: I’m very obedient and follow directions very attentively

[@Natalia-jv2bz]

Coming back to this because the vampire of Cinderella callbacks are here! 🙃 I like my smile, and I'm good at cooking vegetables. Thanks for the uplifting video Kat!

[@emerygray6585]

Internal: my organization skills, and heart External: my nose and hair

[@CoralMilitere]

I love that i care so much about others and love making people happy. I love my eyes and how much emotion they can convey. I hope you know just how important your videos are. I love theater more than anything, i act, direct and produce now. Watching your videos has given me so much more confidence as i start that journey and it makes me so happy to just sit and listen to you talk while i wash my face or pack my dance bag. You make me laugh, you help me through panic attacks and you make me want to be a better person. So thank you for this and for everything you do here 💜
