Airbrush Queen!

Good morning!

Just wanted to share the fantastic work my friend Betsy Hackett did for me on some headshots. She is awesome at airbrushing. Check out her blog: http://somethingbetsy.blogspot.com/

Enjoy!

Tour?

A friend of mine booked a tour. They were still casting, so she forwarded my headshot and resume to the director.

Turns out I booked the damn thing without opening my mouth to audition.

While this is all well and good, the first rehearsal was...interesting...to say the least. It was the second rehearsal overall, but my first.

I was handed a lyric sheet and was told to learn the music as it was played. OK, a bit disorganized, but I'll go with it.

Oh, and I should probably point out that I was one of five people at the rehearsal. They're looking for a cast of 30.

I learned the music (yay for picking it up quickly!) and sang it by myself. Then we all sang it together. It was sounding better, and considering that there was absolutely no music.

This is what we did for an hour and a half.

Jury's out if I really want to do this...

virtually me

On the bus on the way home from the Virtually Me audition.

I ended up singing Taylor the Latte Boy. It went pretty well. However, I got complimented on my choice of song.

I wasn't asked to stay and read, so the assumption is that I clearly did not get the role. I'm sad, but that's the nature of the beast.

Also of note, she wrote something on my headshot & resume. I don't know what it was, but something was marked on it.

Anybody ever work with Jen Rudin casting? How does she work?

Read A Book

Perhaps I'll be auditioning for a Book Festival.

I will certainly be auditioning for commercials first thing tomorrow morning. Let's hope it's not in a terrible part of town!

Also, I have a new skill to add to my resume- chair jumping. It seems my apartment has mice and I've discovered my previously undiscovered talent for jumping onto a chair REALLY fast. Don't be too jealous.

New Role

I have a new acting exercise.

There are mice in my apartment.

I am trying to act like an adult.

Hopefully there will be no callback.
