Amber Petty
For 13 years, Amber Petty was a professional actor in New York and Los Angeles. She performed for years at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, traveled the world with Baby Wants Candy, and auditioned for commercials that told her to "react to the talking scale, but keep it really natural." Growing tired of bizarro side jobs (like telemarketing for the opera and dressing like a banana for Jamba Juice), Amber started writing freelance blogs and articles. Five years later, she's left acting behind, writes for a living (for places like MTV, IFC, Bésame Cosmetics, Thrillist, Greatist, Parade, Bustle, Snooki's blog), and helps actors find side jobs they don't hate.
