Lyric Ross

Lyric Ross is an American actress. She is known for her role as Deja Pearson in the NBC drama series This Is Us and Natalie Washington and N.A.T.A.L.I.E. in Ironheart (2025). Quotes Along with Deja, I slowly but surely learned the importance of vulnerability and communication. I was once told that I was having a hard time with crying scenes because I don’t give myself permission to cry in my personal time. That was true. There was also this fear I had in letting go, but in those times I found that there was a great deal of freedom and beauty in that release in lack of complete control. You start trusting where the moment takes you when you just let yourself be. Maybe acting like I was seasoned along with everyone else. Like I could hang and meet these folks at their level somehow, with my little to no experience. Convince them I can be a rookie as well as a vet. Taking time to strictly focus on my breathing. I tend to get anxious before heavy scenes and I have a hard time being still. Whether it be physically, emotionally, mentally, or all the above. A couple of minutes of breath work can help relax or loosen you up a bit. It usually starts with the feeling I get from the overall story and if it completely takes me in. Then, if my potential part in it will stretch me as an artist. I tend to look for something drastically different from what I’ve done prior. I want to see how much range I have in me. I would like some type of substance within the character or story whether it be direct or not. I remember I had just gotten accustomed to the power of using your eyes or body language for everything the character is not saying. Now, all of your choices are projected through your voice alone. It was a great learning experience for me. I would like another chance at it to really get it down. Projection apparently is a major key and something I wasn’t very good at yet. It opened me up and forced me to be less timid. Christ is my source for strength and real peace. I have to keep Him close. I also have some really solid people around me. Family, friends, even a couple in the business. I desire accountability in my relationships. I believe the right kind can keep you levelheaded.
