Anna Akana is a comedian, actress, and film maker from the state of Tennessee. Her work often includes writing, directing, creating, and editing, making everything from a television show to a video for a major commercial company. She has also made some smaller films, but those were not as successful as the ones she did for television. This is because the audience for funny movies is much smaller than that for dramas or movies of other kinds. It is also true that people have a different idea of comedy depending on their education and social background.
When you watch her stand up comedy acting, you will see how her diction and delivery are so similar to those of your grandmothers. However, there is also a kind of off-beat humor that is missing from a lot of comedians. This is the personality Anna Akana brings to her acting. As Anna Akana says, “It’s good to be known, it’s even better to be known for who you are, but having an interesting, layered, real life person to play the parts, that’s even better.” There is definitely more depth to Anna Akana as a comedian, actress, or producer than her public perception gives her credit for.
When you look at her career, you will see that she is a very versatile actress and singer. In one song, she is a country singer, in another she is a rocker. She sings about love and death, she acts in some movies, while in others she is the hostess at a restaurant. It is interesting to see someone with such a huge range of talents coming from such a small country, but if we look at Anna Akana as an artist, the heights and depths of her talent will always shine through.
