I'm sooooo behind on my updates but I have been keeping track of them and I wanna get caught up before the year is over so here we go...
Day 315: Got to be a reader today at the casting director's office where I intern and it was AWESOME!! The casting associate (who has now been promoted to full casting director) said I did an excellent job especially since it was a cold read. What I appreciated more though, were the compliments from the actors I read with. Can't wait to see who gets the part.
Day 316: Rehearsed sides with Y'vonne.
Day 317 - 318: Emailed 24 managers and Atlanta agents
Day 319: Sent an email follow-up to the program director of
KETP. Will call in 3 weeks if I don't receive a reply. Really don't want to start the arduous task of looking for a new job if I'm still in the running for this. {Found out the next week that I'm not. Boo!}
Day 320: Attended a free agent seminar held at Actors Comedy Studio with a hilarious agent from Metropolitan Talent Agency.
Day 321: Gave editing notes to the director of my "Promotion" scene.
Day 322: Mailed a thank you postcard to the manager I saw 2 weeks ago, the agent I met on Saturday and a CD who brought me in for an audition awhile back followed by a private session at
SKS and a cold-read audition for a voiceover gig (I booked it!)
Day 323: Emailed 13 theatrical agents here in LA.
Day 324: Mailed a hardcopy submission to 2 of the Atlanta agents I emailed last week.
Day 325: Took Thanksgiving off and enjoyed time with my family.
Day 326: Actually saw a movie in a theatre! Do you know how rare that is? Stephen & I saw Tower Heist and it was funnier than we expected.
Day 327: Met with Greg & Lex to do voiceover for episode 6 as well as the commercials then had lunch afterwards.
Day 328: Updated my production resume since I plan to start looking for a new survival gig.
Day 329: Met with my PG Buddy and he gave me a Starbucks gift card for Christmas. Unexpected and appreciated. Thanks Tom!
Day 330: Joined
WIF after discussing it with a TAN Power Group member who is a member of WIF already and loves it. Very excited to see what new networking opportunities this organization will bring.
Day 331 - 335: Off for my Houston trip. Didn't submit to anything or even look at any breakdowns. Completely took a break from acting and enjoyed time with my brother and my friends as I was down there to be a bridesmaid in a wedding. I had a ball catching up with my college besties though I really
REALLY missed my 3 guys, especially since Stephen's 30th birthday was during this time. Thankfully I have a very laidback husband who didn't give me a hard time about being gone. He didn't even want me to plan anything for him despite my best efforts to get him to do it up for this milestone. Instead he just wants an iPad 2 and he'll be happy. I told him to wait until tax refund time since the darn thing costs over $700 but I'm gonna surprise him with it for Christmas. And no he doesn't read this blog so he has no idea. Shhh....
