Please Remain Calm...

ok So I get a call from my manager yesterday letting me know that my agent ACME came through and delivered my much wanted series regular audition for a pilot!
In the 5 plus years I have been in this town, I have been through many pilot seasons and have auditioned for co-star, guest star, and even recurring roles on pilots - but never a series regular. Ever!
This Wednesday I will audition for the casting office of UDK for a new pilot and I read the script - and I LOVE it. I'm so excited about this mainly because the role is SO perfect for me. I was thinking that if I get sent to producers - even that would be a HUGE success for me - but then I noticed that this audition is straight to producers! Yikes! I'm trying not to feel even more nervous about that! No pressure at all!
The pilot is Eli Stone and the role is Patti, an assistant who definately speaks her mind. I'm trying to remain calm but it's pretty exciting to know you have a shot at something you KNOW you can do - and do well. :-) So I plan to be very prepared and knock this one out of the park.
Also, in other news...I've decided to go with Paul Smith Photography. I shoot next Friday, and even though it's a little more than what I wanted to spend right now on headshots, I know I haven't updated mine in a while, and I'm in need of a GREAT headshot that I can invest in - and I'm sure I will love these.
I'll be sure to post how the audition went and some pics from the new headshot session very soon....

Proud Agent

So...I'm having one of those moments where I am extremely proud of the talent I represent. No really - I have some amazingly talented actors on my roster.   Yes - here in South Texas.  Corpus Christi to be exact.   A city which has NEVER had a talent agency submitting actors for these opportunities! I had the pleasure of seeing the opening night performance of the musical RENT at the University last week.  Three of the leads are with my agency, and the others, I would love to sign on!  The show was SOOOOO freakin good.  I had seen some of these actors in other shows and never knew some of them can sing like that!  And to see my actors, the ones with the agency, push and stretch their acting limits for these roles, it was the coolest thing to witness!  I think because of my background, and knowing the hard work an acting career takes, it makes me a special kind of agent - one who appreciates the work my actors do - on stage, an...

ACTOR: Your Hobby or Profession?

Acting is fun.  And for the most part, those who have been bitten by the acting bug will find a way to ACT.  Whether its in their school's play production, community theatre, independent films, or their own youtube channels.  I have seen a ton of talent in my life.  Both at the small town level, and on Hollywood sets.  And I often wonder about the actor onstage in the local community theatre and wonder what their plans and dreams are...  When I started as an actor, I absolutely loved it.  I couldn't get enough of it, actually.  I would audition for plays back to back, participate in student films whenever I could, and dreamt about the day when I could actually do it for a living.  That was my goal.  To make a living doing what I loved to do - so that "work" wouldn't feel like "work". And so I busted my ass to make it happen.  I was focused on a goal and made sure I achieved it. I'm pretty proud of myself.. But I realized that...

And the JOURNEY Continues...

Image
First of all, let me just say this blog was correctly titled! My journey has been quite an interesting one!  Definitely not "uneventful" - that's for sure... I left LA about 6 1/6 years ago, not knowing why I was leaving a pretty stable acting career in an industry where stable acting careers are hard to find.  I came back home to Texas, not sure what I was looking for, but open to the adventure that was to be found. Three years later, I left Austin and found myself back in my hometown of Corpus Christi Texas, with two kids and a husband.  That was January, 2 years ago.  My initial plan was to open up a casting office in town, and continue casting.  What I found was a city that didn't have much of an entertainment business community.  No talent agencies, no acting schools, aside from high school theatre and the college and university.  That makes casting very difficult. That's when I decided to start teaching.  I found Aurora Arts Theatre,...
