As an actress, filming self-tapes are a big part of Hilary’s life.
“Nowadays before you even get in the door to do an audition face to face with somebody, you do a self-tape first.”
Hilary started out filming with her laptop camera however more recently she has upgraded to the iPhone 13, two softbox lights and she always makes sure her background is neutral.
While casting directors and directors can somewhat see-through poor quality self-tapes, they do have some expectations for the auditionees.
Imposter syndrome is ubiquitous. Even the most confident among us can still feel the burden of a bad day or lack confidence when we need it most. Hilary too struggled from imposter syndrome and to her, this was a signal that she wasn’t “going in the right direction”.
Hilary used to put a lot of weight on her career but now, she has realigned her values. While she takes her job seriously, she now treats her roles with fun, and she tries not to take herself too seriously.
“I think the second you stop taking yourself seriously, you kinda drop all those negative expectations almost of yourself.”
In 2020, Hilary had created her blog website called “Live Wild” - https://bit.ly/TheVidLiveWild. Hilary shares that she has a whole other side to her that is very deep and holistic where she loves to go “barefoot walking in the woods” and “sea swimming”.
As humans, we all naturally strive to connect and Hilary understood that people were craving this connection, however, not from an external force. For her, “the blog was all about self-connection, like connecting deeply within oneself”, where people are looking for connection deep within themselves rather than externally.
“What you emanate from yourself is a frequency and when other people match that frequency you are drawn together quite a bit”
For Hilary “the frequency of love is the highest frequency that one can attain” and as sovereign beings, we have the choice to change our frequencies whenever we want.
