Gotta Make a Getaway

Hey there,

So two opportunities have come up.

One: A short for a student at the UW, it isn't anything big it is basically an exercise for the crew to become better at the technical skills, therefor it is just a remake of a scene from a previous film. I was iffy about it because of that but I would have accepted if I could've, because it would make it more likely for me to be cast for a future work of their. However, I couldn't get off work Saturday night. Bummer.

Two: I got an audition in Chicago that I am actually really excited about. It is also on Saturday but luckily it is during the day. Yay! So i will drive down there hopefully and cross my fingers for the part because it seems like a great one. I will give more details later maybe but I don't want to jinx it just yet. I will tell you that it is a thesis film for students at NYU which makes it feel pretty legit to me, those are the people I want connections with.

So I am excited so I thought I would give a mini post on that.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

Can't Stop Can't Stop It

Hello All,

I have just finished applying to about 11 internships. I think it would be amazing if I could get a good internship this summer. I am not sure how possible that is though. I am not THAT experienced, especially on the production end. I don't know. Gosh I have the jitters but thats good because I tend to accomplish things when I am like this.

Ideally I will work at an internship in LA and take some acting lessons while out there as well.

We shall see.

I have only applied to big names so far though. That could be my downfall I just don't know how to find smaller scale internships. I e-mailed Tracey and asked her to maybe help me find some.

So I will probably write more on this subject later but I am currently watching American Idol.

Would you be? I mean could you be?

Um... so

I called Tracey and we talked, that was good.
I pretty much just hung up so I am still digesting it.
I don't know how it went, it was good, we talked about working and what she does. I am really grateful to be able to talk to her. I hope that maybe we will continue to talk occasionally. I really don't know what I am doing.

So basically here is where I am:
-I have a contact in Temple Hill
-She offered to help me in search for internships and whatnot
-I think it would be ok to call her and talk with her some more

I really hope that something can come out of this but things don't happen overnight, so right now that is where I am at.

I just have so much I want to do and accomplish, I don't know what to say.

All I know is this is a good thing to have experienced and a good connection to make.

It gave me hope for longevity and it gave me a reality check on short cuts. It was good.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

Just a Picture and a Feeling and a Face

Hey there,

So I did placement auditions at the UW today, which was just an audition to get into more acting classes, I auditioned for two and got into one. I wasn't really expecting to get into more than one because there is limited space so thats good.

The audition was very low pressure, I just went in and did a short monologue. I had been working on one in my current acting class so I was really comfortable with it, which is awesome.

So I am in a Vocal Technique class, which I think will just perfect the use of the voice with diction and proper breath support while acting so as not to loose your voice and to be easily understood while still being able to connect emotionally.

------------------------

I was googling Unborn, the short I was in in San Diego. It turns out it was an Official Selection for Screenplay at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, which basically means it is a finalist. The festival is April 14-18, so thats exciting to say the least.


------------------------

I may talk to Tracey tonight, I am excited to talk to her and find out about her career and get an inside look at the industry.


ok thats it for now
