#210: Loren Lott - Judging a Fish

Loren Lott can do it all, she’s an actress, singer, dancer,
and digital creator. She’s been seen on Broadway, tv and
film. Her following on social media platforms is
unparalleled, where she boasts a huge engagement in the millions
across her social media platforms and a resume of heavy-hitting
Hollywood roles on both the stage and screen, Loren has
crafted a career that has unmistakably defined her status as a
rising voice of a new generation of Hollywood.


This spring 2023, Loren can currently be seen starring opposite
Chlöe Bailey, Tristen Mack Wilds, Quavo, and Anjelika Washington
in the Universal Pictures feature film “Praise This,”
available to stream now on Peacock. 


Her voice captured national attention when she enchanted
audiences with her live performances on season 14 of ABC’s
longstanding competition series, “American Idol,” and ascended
into the top 16 finalists. Combining her passion for both
singing and acting, Loren joined the theatre
scene. For the next few years, Loren performed on stage with
touring and Broadway productions such as Gladys Night in “Motown
the Musical,” Ti Moune in “Once on This Island,” and Cece Winans
in “Born for This.”  


Upon her move back to the west coast in Los Angeles, she was
quickly snapped up to join the cast of the Emmy award-winning
daytime soap opera “The Young and the Restless” as Ana
Hamilton from 2018-2019. Following her time on the soap
opera, Loren began to add back-to-back television and film
bookings to her growing list of credits, including the role of
the popular cabaret singer Lucy Conrad in “The Porter,”. In
addition, she starred as Cydney Wesley in “A Wesley
Christmas,” The sequel “A Wesley Christmas Wedding” is due
to be released shortly. Other notable film and television
credits include Ava DuVernay’s “Cherish the Day”, “Favorite
Son”, “The Products of the American Ghetto” and Kirk Franklin’s
“The Night Before Christmas”. 


As quickly as Loren’s Hollywood career began to blossom, so did
her remarkable rise to social media stardom.  From detailing
her life in vulnerable, personal reflections to cracking witty
jokes and quips, and even showcasing her impressive vocal range
and acting talents throughout her short-form
content, Loren’s digital presence grew drastically as she
garnered well over one million followers in just a year. 
Multiple videos on her TikTok, which she started in late 2022,
have reached virality with millions of views per post as she
shares stunning performances and meaningful conversations
regarding love, faith, friends, and peeling back the curtain on
the realities of working in Hollywood. 


We chat about gratitude, rejection, being dropped from her
agency, dyslexia, being in an understudy, performing on Broadway,
being on American Idol, social media and self-esteem.




The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day
after release)! So check them out on YouTube under Michael
