Submissions
I have submitted myself to be the new host at QVC. They want hosting skills. I have retail and a crazy internship. I hope this is enough to warrant at least an interview...
Also, I just submitted myself for a project called Meanwhile. The casting claims that it's a feature film, but I'm not so sure. The description for Lori is: 22 year old aspiring actress, desperately poor, frightened, angry. But funny too.
I can do that.
Let's hope something comes of this.
No word from the Womens' Theater, so I'm going to assume that there was no part for them to offer.

Let's Play Catch-Up, Shall We?
It's been a very long time since I've posted much of anything, and for that, dear Reader, I apologize.
Here's a brief synopsis, or at least as brief as I can make it:
I lost my motivation to be an actor after my last few auditions. My heart just wasn't in it, and my boss wouldn't give me time off without hassle, so I had basically thrown in the proverbial towel.
I got fired by said boss at the end of March. The next day I got another job offer, which I gladly accepted. In this economy, I'm just happy to have A job, let alone one that I really love. Now I'm teaching piano, trumpet, & voice at a local music store 4 times a week. I have upwards of 35 students, most of whom are adorable. There are a few I'd love to strangle, but that's par for the course.
I've also started auditioning again- and getting callbacks! It seems that magical things can happen when there's time to prepare for auditions.
To suppliment my income, I've started booking jobs as an extra on TV shows. I worked on Rubicon (a new show for AMC) a few weeks ago, the now cancelled Mercy the week after I was fired, and a TV movie called Certainty- starring Valerie Harper and Bobby Moynahan from SNL. All were relatively painless shoots and a lot of fun. It's always a good time when you make friends. I'll have to post pictures when I get back home.
In more recent news, I auditioned for a womens' theater ensemble yesterday. The audition went very well, although my singing was shaky. I got all of the words to Somewhere from West Side Story in the song, just in the wrong order. Oops! Oh well. My read for Last of the Red Hot Lovers went considerably better. Comedy is really my strength, so I was much more comfortable with the latter half of the audition. The directors laughed (always a good sign when auditioning for a comedy), so we'll see where this goes. Fingers crossed!
Also, I forgot to mention that I booked a few shows. I had auditioned for a murder mystery the day after the Certainty shoot, got called back on the spot, and read very well. Casting said they wanted to see me again and promised to be in touch. A few days went by, a week, a week and a half... I figured they were just being nice after 2 weeks. Then I got a call! I got the show! It's called Nut Case & I'm playing the forensic scientist named Cookie. She's based on Abby from NCIS if you need a character reference. Hooray! I got a job!
However, I know nothing about the production. All I know is that I'm going to be the replacement Cookie and understudy for the lead. The company also mentioned that they want to use me in at least 2 other shows, so we'll see what happens. But success!! FINALLY!
Now I'm on a rainy bus ride home after yet another audition. This one was for a cell phone commercial. I read well, though I'm not quite sure I'm what they're really looking for. Nice people and I got to read with super hunky guys. Always a treat.
Since I'm back in the swing of things, the idea is to update the blog more often. The lack of motivation certainly wasn't helping, but now that I have a bit of confidence I'm ready to keep this thing going.
Those of you in NY, the NY area, and those who wish they were here, what have you been up to? Any luck at auditions? What are you planning next?
