Days Like These....




I had two auditions today. My first one was for Medium. I was going in for a hotel housekeeper who finds a dead body. I think I have played this exact role a few times already :) so I should have this in the bag! I went downtown and met the casting director, Mark Saks, for the first time. The audition went well and he invited me back to producers later today.
The second audition was for LOST - the season finale! And of course, this show shoots in Hawaii, so if I book this, I fly out on Thursday and shoot on Friday! An all expense paid trip to Hawaii! Nice! I really hope I book this one! It's a pharmacist role and I think it went pretty well. As soon as I walked in the room, the associate was commenting on my Curb episode and how much she liked it! So we have to wait and see. Hopefully I will know by tomorrow afternoon. :) After my LOST audition, which was running SUPER behind (1 hr), I rushed to my Medium callback in Manhattan Beach! I had 30 minutes to get to my callback, and it was 45 min. away! I got there late, but luckily they hadn't finished and another actress had just got there late as well. So I went in last, did my thing, and it went well.
About 30 minutes later, my manager called to tell me I was "on hold" for Medium so I guess that means that's good news. It's not an official booking - but it'll work for now. Hopefully "on hold" just means they want to make sure the part is still in the script. :) Good news ending my day.


Hopefully tomorrow I'll hear more good news about Lost - but let's not get greedy! ;)

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,...
