What do the Olympics, USC and puking all have in common?
Me! And my rollercoaster of a week...
Day 66: I woke up this morning sicker than I've been in years. Achy, dizzy and violently reminded of the fact that vomiting is one of the worst feelings ever so needless to say I did absolutely nothing but lay in bed all day and all night.
Day 67: Still under the weather but able to sit up long enough to use the computer once again, I emailed 23 commercial agents and 1 manager requesting a meeting.
Day 68: Actors Access submissions. I must say, it's much funner choosing which headshot to use when submitting with these new photos.
Day 69: Industrial Audition at Craig Colvin Casting. This was a group audition which can sometimes be confusing but this one was pretty clear cut. We went in in groups of 4 and pretended to enjoy watching a tight Olympic race where the US ultimately wins. I felt very patriotic afterwards.
Day 70: Took notes on the rough cut of DWP's Episode 3. I really love this episode already! It made me smile and I had to resist the urge to show it to friends because it still has some changes to undergo. I also found two potential songs that might fit somewhere in either this episode or one of the other 2 we just shot.
Day 71: Beautiful day for an audition at USC. Though they dashed my undergrad hopes many moons ago, if they cast me in their films we'll call it even.
Day 72: Worked on my first reel! Thanks to dropbox I was able to upload my footage to my editor instead of going to her home in Silverlake. Since she's also my editor for DWP there was only one clip I had to give her that she didn't already have. I would've loved to have added a few seconds of two other projects I worked on but I still don't have copy for one of them and I couldn't figure out how to upload the correct file from the dvd of the other one so I just said forget it. The cool thing is, a reel is an ever-changing thing that will constantly be tweaked and updated as more and better footage becomes available. Eventually when I get me a MAC I'll learn how to add new clips myself with iMovie. Till then, THANKS LEX!!!

I love following your story. I've set my acting ambitions aside for now and am having so much fun reading along with your rise to the top. You're doing so well! Congrats!
xo, Dani
hey girl hey! i also auditioned at USC! Was it for the same project? Anywho you're definitely keeping busy and it has inspired me to really kick things up a notch in 2011. Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait for episode 3 of DWP comes out!
Hope you're feeling better! Let's grab coffee soon and catch up?

Thanks Dani. I love reading about your life as a newlywed and all your vacays. It reminds me of how much fun Stephen & I had at that time... and how we're overdue for a vacay of our own.
Aisha, was your audition for "Forever Night"? Yes let's catch up soon! Sometime in the next week or two.
