Today we’d like to introduce you to Tuesday White.
Hi Tuesday, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My name is Tuesday White. I’m an Italian-American woman, born in Italy. I spent the first two years of my life surrounded by my Italian family and friends, and a few years later my mom and I moved to Los Angeles, which has been home ever since. Growing up in a creative and supportive environment really shaped who I am today. I started doing music and acting around the age of 10. My mom originally put me in musical theater to help me gain confidence in public, but over time it became something I genuinely loved, and eventually I decided to pursue it as a career.
Art has always been at the center of my life. I love exploring anything creative, but acting and singing are where I feel the most alive. Performing lets me express myself, tell stories, and connect with people on a deeper level. My dream is to turn those passions into a full career.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Sadly, in the artist world, it’s rare for things to be smooth. When COVID hit, it was a huge challenge for my career. The market I was working in basically fell apart, and nobody was auditioning actors. On top of the lack of work, my morale dropped. I didn’t have the willpower to sing or act, being stuck in the house took away the passion and love I had for my art.
I had been accepted into a national tour for School of Rock All Stars, and that got canceled because of COVID too.
Aside from that, I also struggled with signing with the wrong representation in the first years of my career. Unfortunately, a lot of people in the industry don’t have your best interests at heart, and trying to figure out who you can trust is tough. As a young girl navigating all of this, it was scary at times. But thankfully, I now have the right team around me.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I started my music journey at School of Rock Fairfax, performing in their house band, which gave me the chance to perform at amazing venues at a young age. I’ve performed at places like the Whisky a Go Go, sang the national anthem at an XFL game, and even had the incredible opportunity to perform at a Chargers game. Performing has always brought me so much joy. It guided me into continuing to do musical theater and book a role in the show ” Little Shop Of Horrors” I was a per of a LA local theater company, we did 8 live shows where all of this training came back to me.
For acting, I got an agent around 16, and professionally I booked my first role on the Netflix original Family Reunion at 19. Since then, my acting career has taken off, and I’ve appeared in national commercials for Coca-Cola, Curology, Southwest Airlines, and Black Forest gummies. My main goal is to become a series regular on a drama TV show.
At one point, I realized I needed to sharpen my skills, so I started training at the Stella Adler Academy. I felt my acting grow so much there. I even performed on stages Mark Ruffalo himself has been on, and the incredible acting teachers really deepened the way I approach my craft.
I believe what sets me apart is that this is a life for me, not a career. I overall am an artist person with the way I think and live. Art fills my life and sharing that art is how I will send my massage across. I am very pasionate about the fact that art is the way to communicate to peoples souls and I want to be able to connect with people around the world though the art I will create. I want to help people though art.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
I think the most important thing has been having a clear sense of who I am and the boundaries I keep. I’ve always known the path I wanted, and understanding that from a young age helped me weed out a lot of the bad along the way. In the artistic industry, a lot of people feel like they need to say yes to everything because opportunities can be scarce, but I don’t think that’s true. Staying true to yourself is what keeps a career strong. It keeps your voice and conscience alive.
The love I have for the arts is what keeps me going. And I know that the moment I start doing things that don’t feel true to me, that’s when it stops being a passion.
