All of a sudden, I'm pretty busy!  I have an audition tomorrow for a web series, then I have rehearsal for the play, then the next day another rehearsal,  I have two scenes going up in class on Monday and then an audition for a series regular role for a new NBC pilot.  I have scripts and sides surrounding me and I am thrilled!  This is what it is about.  I just wrote that it's been a slow summer and now this.  It's raining.

Day Two!  I am writing two days in a row....I think I've done this before....when I write two weeks in a row, that might be more reason for excitement.

Went to my audition for the commercial today.  We shall see where that goes - it literally consisted of saying one word, so you just never know.  All the women there seemed to know each other and it reminded me how new I still am to this town. 

Then I had rehearsal for my scene for class - I'm working on a scene from House of Yes.

And then I audited class tonight and there were some fun scenes that got put up. 

And that was basically the day.  That's the hard part of writing daily.  It's not always groundbreaking.

Oh!  Here are my new headshots I was telling you about:

So I noticed upon reviewing some of my site traffic, most of it is centered around my blog.  And I haven’t really been keeping it up to date.  At all.  Ever.  BUT.  Since I have been blogging for nearly all of 2008 for Latest Beauty, I should be somewhat in the habit of dropping little meandering thoughts daily on my own personal blog.  And with that, here we go.

It’s been a bit of a slow summer for me, audition-wise.  I haven’t been sent out since May which is a bit of a bummer but hopefully with the fall season full of new shows, my casting opportunities will increase.  I’m teaching myself patience.  In the meantime, I’ve been taking advanced classes at the Ivanna Chubbuck Studio, which has been the highlight of my summer.  I’m learning so much, since this is my first time studying an actual technique, and with Ben Davis as my teacher, I’m sure to continue to grow.  I love my classmates and I audit as many of Ivanna’s Masters classes as I can, which keeps me focused.

Two weeks ago I was a contestant on Trivial Pursuit: America Plays, a new game show that starts airing in syndication later this month.  I'll let you know my airdate when I find it out.

I got cast in a play!  I’m very excited to be giving it my first go in Los Angeles theatre this October.  I’m part of the ensemble cast of Tales From the Shadow Zone at Next Stage.  Chris Berube is the writer/director/producer behind this show and this is its eighth showing, so it’s got a bit of a following.  The show is comprised of 5 storylines that make up one two-hour show and the “tales” are Twilight Zone/X-Files-esque.  I am playing Valerie in A Date In Time, which is juicy and fun and involves guns and screaming and time travel.  Kooky and crazy, my cup of tea.  Perfect for Halloween fun. 

I also have a commercial audition tomorrow, so we’ll see where that goes.  You never know…

Until then…

PS - I also got new headshots done by Michael Maples earlier this year and I have yet to update the pics on this site. You can see them at my IMDB listing and I'll post them on here tomorrow.

And I'll tell you why:

Wipeout, ABC's newest piece of crap, premiered to 9.8 million viewers on Tuesday making it the biggest summer premiere ever.  Which goes to show that people will continue to watch the worst possible tv instead of simply turning it off and doing something else.  This is only going to encourage networks to make copycat-shows of Wipeout and for ABC to maybe start airing it three nights a week.  INSTEAD of creating quality television with quality shows that quality actors can work on.  And I know it's summertime so tv land is fertile for crap tv but this is only going to encourage the networks to put more of this on in the fall.  The work for actors is going to become less and less because viewers have seemingly no standards.  And us going on strike soon is not going to help anything.  Why would the producers care about a strike when they can slap together morons breaking their necks on giant balls and people will watch that?  They're not losing money.  Why should they care if actors won't work? 

Someone renew my hope.  Please.

Oh my goodness.  It’s March 2008, people.  Where has this year already gone???  Well for me, I’ve been settling into the LA life and quite digging it.  I love my manager, I love the weather, I love my apartment – life is good.  I just signed with a commercial agent, Commercials Unlimited, and I’m excited to start working with them.  And speaking of commercials, my Olive Garden commercial just started airing today so hopefully that will generate some Meagan Fever and make me hot in the commercial world.  It’s a great way to pay the bills whilst waiting for my "big break".  In the meantime, I’ve been paying the bills with the best part-time job ever blogging for Latest Beauty, which will officially launch in a few weeks.  The test site is up now and you can read my daily blogs but the site will look a lot different once it launches.  And we’re trying to figure it out with my unions about hosting a weekly online segment about the beauty tips and trends I write about.  Since its online, it’s all dicey territory right now. “New media” was a major point of contention with the three month writer’s strike that just ended, so you can imagine.  Auditions were slow because of the strike, but now that it’s over, things are starting to heat up again!  Other than that, Dan and I are just livin’ it up in La-La Land and excited for what always might be just around the corner...
