My Week


Congrats Lett! And Welcome Vinny! :)
Wow. Where the hell have I been? I can't use the excuse that I've been "super busy" because we know that's not true, especially with the strike. So let me catch you up on the stuff I've been up to this week - which isn't much.
Last week I had one audition for a Ford commercial!!! .....That I missed thanks to LA's horrible traffic! :( I had to rush right over there after subbing one day and I was stuck in traffic so long that I had to cancel. There was no way I was going to make it to Santa Monica in the 5-10 minutes that I had left! :( There goes that.
And I saw that my ER episode was going to air this past Thursday....then I get a call from my manager saying that the casting office called to let me know I was cut out of the episode. It was very nice of them to make that call. They didn't want me sitting around the tv with friends, excited to see myself on ER - and then nothing. They wanted to assure my manager that it had nothing to do with me personally. They just ran over on time and had to cut a few scenes, and mine was one of them. Great.
Then, to end a perfectly disappointing week - I got sick this weekend. My 3 day holiday weekend, I spent miserable on my couch watching movies all day and medicating myself with Robitussin as much as possible.
The only good news I got was my good friend Letty gave birth to a healthy baby boy one month ahead of schedule! I'm flying to Texas at the end of January for a week to help her with him. :) It's not like I'm "super busy" here anyway...so it's perfect timing!
Let's hope 2008 gets progressively better....

Proud Agent

Image
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,...
