    Chrissy Metz thinks music and acting are "so similar"

    The 41-year-old actress is taking her musical talents on tour, and Chrissy thinks there are actually lots of similarities between singing and acting


    Chrissy - who played Kate Pearson in 'This Is Us' - shared: "I love acting and telling stories and relating to the characters, and then helping other people relate to them, but music and acting are so similar. Acting is really a song without actual instrumentation behind it. A monologue is a song - it's just a story that we're all telling."

    Chrissy is best-known for her acting talents, but she's actually been working on her music for a long time.

    She told PEOPLE: "Some people don't know that I've been going back and forth to Nashville for, gosh, five years now - ever since the second season of 'This Is Us'.

    "I met Jason Halpert - who was Kelly Clarkson's musical director - and he said, 'I don't know how to say this to you but literally a voice is telling me to ask you about music.' I was like, 'Oh my gosh ... I want to sing country music.' I got to write with some incredible songwriters, and I realised, 'Oh, this is what I want to do.'

    "I'm so happy in a writers' room collaborating with people I've never met before and four hours later having a song that could completely change someone's life."

    Chrissy is also taking lessons from her acting work into her music.

    She said: "Being able to grow my confidence and my vulnerability in a very deep way through the show has made me only want to share my heart and soul in a very real way, as opposed to just doing it through a character.

    "The music is really about feeling through the healing and getting on the other side of it."
