Faith Orta has been part of the vertical world for quite some
time and has already had the chance to step into many very
different characters. But some roles have stayed with her longer
than she ever expected.

In this episode, Faith opens up about her first experiences
playing villains – characters whose behavior and sometimes
incredibly hurtful words were so far removed from who Faith is as
a person that leaving them behind after filming wasn’t always
easy. In fact, those experiences affected her enough that she
decided not to accept another villain role for more than a year.

That leads us into a very honest conversation about some of the
things Faith believes the vertical industry can still do better.
We talk about missing trigger warnings, uncomfortable situations
on set and why actors need to feel that their boundaries and
concerns are heard and respected.

But we also talk about the opposite experience. Faith shares why
she genuinely loves working with GoodShort and
CandyJar, where she feels comfortable, respected and –
most importantly – seen and understood as an artist.

For Faith, acting is ultimately about telling stories –
and telling good stories. Stories that give her the
opportunity to really understand a character, step into their
world and fully embody them. We talk about the roles she has
enjoyed the most so far, what challenges her as an actress and
the kinds of characters she hopes to explore in the future.

And Faith doesn’t stop learning when the cameras stop rolling.
Whenever she has the time and opportunity, she loves adding new
skills to her repertoire – including, most recently,
sword fighting. ️

Faith also gives us a glimpse into her currently released
projects and what’s coming next.

An open and thoughtful conversation about acting,
boundaries, challenging characters, constantly growing as an
artist – and the difference it makes when an actor feels truly
seen. ️
