In the meantime, Underwood is working on music, something that took a little back-burner to acting when her “One Life’ character became a series regular. “I’m actually working on music now and hoping to have a single out by the end of the year,” she shares.
Alderson is certainly a fan. “I totally heard it and it’s really good,” says Alderson of the music. “It’s part of the privileges of being a best friend.” The two, who live four blocks from each other, hang out all the time.

YA: Who is Lauren Tate?
Brittany: I think she represents a lot of girls. She doesn’t think she’s anything super special, but she knows what she has on the inside that she wants to express. I think deep down she has this talent but she’s afraid of it and afraid of not being good enough, so she’s really insecure about it. But she’s a good girl, a good head on her shoulders, good values. He has her Mom and her best friend saying “we trust your talent and you can really do something with it”.
She’s an inspiration to a lot of girls. People relate to Lauren and they ask me to check out their songs on Twitter. They say “Lauren Tate reminds me of myself”. They ask me to “listen to my songs or read my lyrics”. She really has an affect on these girls.
YA: What was the casting process like?
Brittany: My casting director read the role and immediately thought of me. They called me in and said it’s exactly what we’re going for. I didn’t screen test for the role. I was the first one cast. I had to make adjustments. Some people are afraid of that but I love it. You want to bring your own things to the table, but you want to know what they want because it’s their initial vision.
I didn’t screen test but they asked me what I thought when casting Ashley and Codie. When Ashley walked in I loved her energy. There was an instant, inexplicable connection, a chemistry. As soon as she auditioned, it clicked. I’m all about energy. She’s lively, funny – all things super important in a friend. We were instantly super close.
