Music to My Ears!!!

Man, I am SO incredibly happy right now!! First I got the call last night that I have an audition on Thursday (tomorrow) for a recurring role on HBO's new series Little Britain. I was so happy just to get an audition right now! I cancelled my subbing for tomorrow and was excited to see what the role was. I read the sides and I was thrilled to see it was a role I could be PERFECT for! Seriously! :)
THEN, today, I get a call from my manager letting me know they emailed me information for ANOTHER audition I have for tomorrow! And before I could celebrate and be excited that I have TWO auditions in one day - they call back within 2 minutes to say I have yet, ANOTHER audition for tomorrow. That makes THREE auditions - all in one day!! Man, I love it! And the best part is, they are all GREAT roles! HUGE auditions for me.
The first one of the day is Little Britain, which is that recurring role. Then my second audition of the day is for a SERIES REGULAR for a new pilot starring Molly Shannon and Selma Blair called Kath and Kim. And I have to say I'm pretty damn perfect for this one too!! And last but not least is a nice sized co-star role of a nurse on LOST which shoots in Hawaii!!!!!! And I've played a nurse before, so I'm perfect again! haha :) It's a win-win-win situation!
My manager teased me about how I threw it out into the universe that I really wanted auditions and now they came swarming in. So now, I just have to put it out into the universe that I want to book them all! I hate to sound selfish - but hell - why not? I want them all! I mean, even if I book just one, it would be great - but I'm shooting for the trifecta!
Wish me broken legs tomorrow! I'm going to LOVE running around from audition to audition all day! That's how my life should be always! Nah, I take that back. My life should be me running off to the set everyday - because I'm working steadily! Yeah, that's what it should be like!
(sigh) - I'm on top of the world right now. :)

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,...
