Rebel-Actor, do you have a big dream? Do you believe you have committed to that dream? Well, today’s guest is going to UPLEVEL the possibilities of your own dreams. I am so excited to introduce you to actress, singer and manifestor extraordinaire: Shanoza Majidova!   Shanoza Majidova was born in Termez City, Uzbekistan, grew up in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and now lives in Brooklyn, NY. Shanoza is also a singer and participated in the adult TV Singing Competition "Zarafshon'' in Uzbekistan. After graduating from university in Malaysia,  she moved to the USA in 2015. After three years, she took her first steps toward her acting dreams by studying at the Nashville Acting Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. She has also studied with Anthony Grasso at "Pearl Studios'' and spent over two years studying at T. Schreiber Studios, specifically with Terry Schreiber himself and Peter Miner. This past February, she started a new acting journey with Lana Shyptsina at the Russian School of Theatre Arts in NYC. Shanoza has appeared in over 7 short films, was part of a project called "A Sketch of New York'' produced by Joe DiNozi at the Producers Club Theatre in Manhattan, was invited by BAE TV to be part of a Military Training video, and is currently working on her own short film with her best friend and director, Fernanda Parrado.    From the moment Shanoza found her introverted self in the spotlight as a child, her yearning for the stage has been pulling her towards incredible feats of faith, persistence and awe-inspiring artistic leaps into her dream.   You will learn: How even as a child, Shanoza felt spiritually linked to the audience Why Shanoza could not commit to her dream from a young age, as an actress or a singer  Shanoza received an offer to start her singing career and planned on applying to the Ilkhom Theatre but was forbidden from doing so What made Shanoza decide between choosing her singing career and acting career  How Shanoza continually turned no into yes for herself  How manifestation changed the game  When immigrants move to new land, it is a rebirth, a life starting everything from zero What her first step towards her acting dream felt like  How she feels in the NY/American acting industry as an immigrant, WOC, and English as her third language The myriad of acting schools Shanoza has studied at in NYC and the projects she has been a part of  Why, as a community of artists, we speak the same language  The wish as an instrument for healing and change  In order to be a good actor, you have to know who you are internally Shanoza believes our industry and life will grow and be successful when we will be surrounded by people who ask these two questions: What kind of change is most needed in the world right now? And how can my work (as an actor) affect that change?   And SO much more. Shanoza and I are super excited to hear what resonates with you, and how it touches your dreams!
