VANESSA KAI: Putting Both Feet Through the Door of Your Career

Known for her series regular role of Pei-Ling Zhang on the CW's "Kung Fu," Vanessa takes us through her process of script analysis step by step. She shares what led her to take a three-year hiatus from the industry, how she came to love one-line auditions, and why she prepares for self-tapes like a full theater rehearsal.
