![]() ![]() It’s hard to combat a brain that favors self-doubt, overthinking and full-blown fear. I tend to get in the way of myself more often than not. ![]() ![]() There is no such thing as a smooth road, that would be boring! Every step of my career has been a challenge, but I think the biggest hurdles have always come from within. If you expect me to play that diaper sniffing game for the millionth time, you better believe I’m hitting that mimosa bar. Spoiler alert: It comes with a lot of drunk baby showers. And, as mentioned, I now have a book which is a collection of short comedy stories that are all centered around the trials and tribulations of being in your 30’s. I am also the voice of Talking Angela in the animated show Talking Tom and Friends, alongside Tom Kenny (SpongeBob himself), Maria Bamford, and Colin Hanks. And shortly after, I co-created, produced, and wrote “This Isn’t Working” for ABC digital. I was able to co-create, produce and star in my show “Party Girl” for Freeform, about my life as a birthday party princess (one of many said weird jobs). This happy accident of a career has opened so many doors for me. I have been making YouTube videos, consistently, for almost ten years now and have over 2.2 million subscribers. Over time, this fun little side hobby turned into a full-blown career. They started having me in their YouTube videos, which they’d shoot in their tiny North Hollywood apartment.Įventually they convinced me to start my own channel, literally sitting me down and teaching me how to use my heavy Dell computer to edit videos. After we finished the pilot, which didn’t end up going anywhere (Welcome To Hollywood!) the Bros and I became good friends. Anyways, I ended up booking the pilot which was written and directed by The Fine Brothers, two of the pioneers of YouTube comedy. Please note: I do not endorse going on auditions found on Craigslist, how I didn’t end up in a porn is beyond me. I saw an ad on Craigslist for a casting of a Comedy Central pilot and decided to audition. After I graduated, I moved back to LA to begin my career as an actor/take on a million bizarre part-time jobs to pay for overpriced acting classes. After graduating from The Buckley School, I went to UC Irvine to study theater and the art of smoking pot. I found myself drawn to the theater arts from a very young age (My parents would venture to say, I was a drama queen the minute I could say “no”). I am a local valley girl, born in Tarzana, and raised on Seinfeld. Great! Hello, I’m Lisa Schwartz the author of “Thirty-Life Crisis”. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
