She was given birth in a talented musical and arts related family, therefore her acting is of consequence of this root. And that her perfomances makes you proud, shows, she's doing it with passion, joy, and professionalism indeed - at that infant age though.
May her way lead to a successful actor carreer for her living.
Thanks for the kind words!
Right now, Omi is tremendously happy, and feels good about what she's doing. She's seeing an awful lot of professional success at a very young age. And that's all the her parents, grandparents and brother could possibly want for her.
Whatever she does in life as she grows up - whether it's acting or she acquires a different lifetime interest -she's learned so much doing musical theater. In fact, it's been a priceless education, because not many people can do it on her level.
She's learned how important it is to thoroughly prepare. She's learned to handle significant responsibility. She knows that sometimes you get the part, and sometimes not, so she can brush off disappointment. She's able to work with other people - mostly adults - from all backgrounds to share success.
She's gained maturity and self confidence. Yet she's not full of herself. She's a delightful, fully-engaged child who just happens to be an actor on the pro level with a growing resume after school and on weekends.
Most of all she's made lifetime friends, both other kids who've appeared in shows with her, and adults from all over the US! She goes to all the shows her child and adult friends appear in to support them, even if she isn't in that show.
And she's learned to handle all this before the age of 12!
At 12 I didn't know why I was on the planet. I was not aware of anything beyond the usual kid stuff.
Come to think of it, I still don't know the why and the wherefore of my existence...
