So close...

So this month has been pretty busy for me. I was put on hold for a ABC commercial and had a callback for a Carmax commercial. I didn't book either of them but I'm still super proud of myself and extremely grateful that I am freelancing with a commercial agent right now. Being put on hold for two commecials and having my first ever callback for a commercial is a BIG step. I am being very optimistic that something great will land my way. I'm just so thrilled to have an amazing family and friends that support me. It feels so amazing to have such wonderful people in my life! But the one person I must thank is my mother, with out her I wouldn't be going as far :) I love her soo much and miss her...thank you mummie
peace & love

Keep Going!

So the agent I'm freelancing with called me yesterday letting me know that I have an audition for a commercial today at 10am. I asked her about the applesauce commercial and she found out yesterday that they went with someone else. I wasn't too upset, but I was happy to know that they were interested. That's the thing with this profession you got to keep going! You can't get so caught up with one audition, it's great to imagine the possibilities with booking that gig but if it doesn't work out there's always the next one. I will update y'all about how this audition goes today, wish me luck!!!

peace & love!

My Acting Career

Since I took a little time out on my career I'm back and ready to go. I believe the last post I made discussed me working with a Manager, well that did not fall through. I was extremely torn to sign with her because it had been a month since I met her and she didn't call me or anything for auditions. However, she did feel the need to send out a MASS e-mail to all her clients and let us know who went out to what audition and such. She even hated my headshots, but that was the last straw. I just feel if you are going to be my manager you need to be telling me what I'M going out for not what others are doing. This is NOT a group project! So I'm very happy I did not sign with her, but the CD that has been calling me in since I took her class in December referred me to a non-union agent and the agent called me in for a commercial audition! Shooting for the commercial is next week, I'm hoping I got it cause after my audition the agent called me last week asking what my availability was for the week of shooting. So lets cross our fingers!!!!

Peace and Love

Its been a While!!

So as some may notice I have been very lazy with my blogging...but I was super busy for the month of June-July. I went to Athens, Greece with my Father the first week of June which was an AMAZING experience! I have tons of pictures but here is one with my father and I on the roof top of our hotel, in the back you can see the Acropolis (we took a tour over there so I have more pics). Also, on June 22nd it was the one year anniversary of my Mothers Passing. My sisters and I went to Indiana, where our dad teaches and lives now, and we just made that week a celebration of our mothers wonderful spirit. We just decided to take that trip and remember all of our exciting road trips we had in the past with our mom. Words can't describe how much I miss her everyday but its because of her I am taking this journey and focusing on my acting career. I love you mummie, rest in peace.

Peace and Love

Long time...no blog!

So I haven't been blogging a whole lot up here...but if your friends with me on facebook you have been keeping up! Whats been new...well I will be working with a Talent Manager which is extremely exciting cause I really just want to be sent out for stuff! Also, I booked a commercial on the web!!! Don Case Casting has been calling me in here and there and the casting director that I know really well told me I booked it! I was soo excited!!! I can't wait to finally see it on the web. I did however see how it turned out at the casting office and it is really cool :) I also got the hook up and had a personal meeting with an agent at her office which was a great experience! So pretty much I'm just gonna be keeping her updated with my future bookings. But back to the commercial, once I finally get my hands on it I will be able to post it up! Thank you everyone for all the love and support...take care of yourself, be happy, merry and thankful for everything!

Peace and love

TRU Audition

So I ran across this event on Backstage.com and figured why not attend. Pretty much you perform two monologues or a monologue/song in front of about 60 industry guests (agents, casting directors, etc.) The price for non-members was $45 which isn't too bad. So I got my confirmation email that I have been accepted in the event and they will let me know what my time slot is on March 27th. I'm really excited about this, because this whole acting biz is about networking and meeting/greeting new people and just getting your name out there! So wish me luck boos! :)

Peace and Love
