1. How did you enjoy filming commercials for Tonka?

I felt excited and both Tonka commercials were awesome! All the adults at Hasbro were really nice too!

 

2. What was it like recording a voice over for Dora the Explorer?

Being in the recording studio was super-fun. I liked when they asked my “real” mom to come in the room and tickle me for my big laughing scene part. Meeting the real voice of Dora was also super-duper cool.

 

3. Do you have a favorite song you did for 18 Kids/18 Songs?

Yes, Party Rockers in the House Tonight- singing and dancing was terrific!

 

4. What was it like shooting for Planet Earth?

Planet Earth for BBC was a learning experience and it totally ROCKED!

 

5. What has been your favorite commercial to film this year?

It’s a tie between Norfolk Southern railroad being in my pajamas and a bedroom like Toy Story and HomeGoods getting ready for a party and stealing cupcakes! Both were “top-notch!”

 

6. How did you enjoy your visit to Norfolk? What was the best part?

Visiting Norfolk Southern was outstanding! My entire family enjoyed a ride on a REAL LOCOMOTIVE and I was able to BLOW THE WHISTLE. Meeting the “BIG BOSS” at Norfolk headquarters for the important board meeting was a day I will always remember.

 

7. Do you have a favorite print job you’ve done this year?

Again, hard to choose, I’ve bee pretty busy. Another tie – this time between Brush like a Jedi fighting with light saber and the 20/20 magazine cooking shoots wearing glasses.

 

8. What was the best part of filming Sesame Street?

The puppeteers and puppets were marvelous. The adults, like “Gordon” were really sweet and Elmo, Stinky, Abby, and Rosita were fun to be around. Sesame Street was sweeeeeet!

 

9. How did you enjoy working with Hailey on 18 Kids/18 Songs?

It was cool! I like working with my sister, Hailey. She always makes me laugh and smile.

 

10. Is there an overall favorite project you’ve done this year?

Well, I’ve enjoyed all the jobs I’ve done this year. All the people I’ve met along the way have been super supportive and proud of my accomplishments. Recently, my friends were shopping in a Target and they called us. I was in a Nikon advertisement right above Ashton Kutcher. My family and I took a drive over and I was so happy to see myself in the store. We were all laughing and smiling. It was cool and I felt proud of myself!

 

Thank you to my family, friends, supporters, directors, agents, and my manager, CP!
