Hi Teala, thanks so much for chatting with us today here at Mad Sounds. To start off, can you tell us about a typical day in the life for Teala Dunn? A typical day for me would be a run to Dunkin Donuts, take my vitamins, check in on my viewers via dms, and tweeting something positive and inspiring. Check my work schedule and get going with a productive day. You’re currently based in Los Angeles, what’s your favorite part about living in LA? Do you have any favorite spots, stores, etc.? I enjoy living in LA. I enjoy shopping with my friends, going to the spa, and eating amazing foods. As many of our readers might already know, you’re an actress and a lifestyle based content creator on YouTube. To start off, can you tell us about how you first got into acting? I got my start working on a Sears commercial,
then moving on to tv working on Law & Order, Law & Order SVU, from there I booked Nick Jr’s “The Wonder Pets”, there after Nickelodeon’s “The Naked Brothers Band”, which led to My full time job on a sit com Called “Are We There Yet” --I played Lindsey, a lead role. You’ve had an incredible year acting for a variety of shows and movies such as Guilty Party, Action #1, and more. Can you tell us a little bit about your roles in these features? What was your experience like working on the different sets? I have had a large range of roles; I would say to date my favorite would have to be the two show I just completed “Guilty Party” where I play a Queen Bee/Fencer of the school, where I am challenged to deal with relatable issues of bullying and an eating disorder. I believe this show will help many students dealing with both issues. All Night is a role I have never done before so my viewers will be pleasantly surprised, stay tuned.
