Finally a New Post!

Well hello out there! Sorry I have been a stranger, but I was a bit busy bringing a beautiful child into this world! ;) Yes, after what felt like an eternity being pregnant - I finally gave birth! Ivy Rose was born on 3/3/12 weighing in at 7 lbs 2 oz.
So, yes, now I have TWO babies - under the age of ONE. No, I have no idea how I'm doing it. IF I'm even doing it!
But these two beautiful babies are in my life now, and let me tell you - THIS is the hardest job I've ever had. Shoot - this is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life! But the most beautiful and rewarding thing I've ever done. No, I'm not getting any sleep. And yes, there are really hard days where I fantisize about my cushy life as an actress in Hollywood - but I wouldn't take any of it back! My happiness that used to be fulfilled by bookings and days on set have been replaced by smiles and laughter by these two little munchkins. And all that time in California, when I felt like something was "missing" - I think I found it - in these two. :) Man, they've even made me mushier! Lol So I have turned into a SAHM. (That's a mom acronym for "Stay at Home Mom".) But I did find out this week that I booked a role on the PBS series The Latino Americans that is shooting here in Texas! :) I didn't even have to audition. I submitted my headshot and was cast from that. Nice. I work one day at the end of this month - which makes it easier for me to do it. Life is good. Life is REALLY good....

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,...
