A Business of Uncertainties

Just like how this blog has uncertainties. I may post everyday, or I may forget that 2 years ago I had a blog that I wanted to keep updated. I don't even know where to began. I looked back at my previous post and I'm having trouble filling in where I left off. I guess I can start with the projects I've been working on since then and go from there. I looked back on my resume and it looks like I've worked on...9 or possibly 10 projects. Two of which I'm currently working on now. 10 projects?! To someone who has an agent and a steady flow of auditions that's not too great. But for me, someone who grinds everyday with the help of an agent or manager, that's pretty amazing! And that list doesn't include the extra work I've done (honestly, it doesn't count). There's been a lot of ups, and downs. Hopefully, when I get a chance to clear my mind , I'll share some stories and projects with you. Break A Leg, Ally

Pre-Pilot Season:

Today has been a roller coaster ride. And I believe I'm capable of finally putting together a decent post, so I'll continue. I woke up from a very…interesting dream, to say the least. I wouldn't say "wet" but definitely intimate - if not leaning towards sexual. It involved me and a former classmate that I never even considered a friend. I simply knew him because we had mutual friends, plus he was slightly annoying. Anyway, I bring it up because I feel that dream was a prelude to an email I received today. I booking a gig on a short film **insert applause** that I actually forgot about. Even though I submitted my video on the 4th (I think) I had a pretty busy video submission week . Actually the beginning of this month has been me hustling to get auditions then recording myself everyday to get them sent in a timely manner. I really do have a love/hate relationship with video submissions. I love the intimacy and control of being able to take more risk then s

The Working Actress

So far, I have be really blessed this year. A music video premiering later this fall, Jackrabbit premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, got put on hold for a commercial (didn't get it though), on hold for a commercial right now (fingers crossed), and the best news of all… I'm Filming a movie this October in Michigan. I'll make a post on that later. I've just been preoccupied the last couple of months with things non-acting related. But I'm finally back in the spirit of things, mainly because of this beautiful blog I fond recently: http://theworkingactress.com   I love her honesty, her hustle and the fact that she finally made it. She stopped posting in mid 2012 and it's an anonymous blog so who knows what she's up to now, I imagine it involves lots of movie premieres! :) My advise is to start from the beginning and read it all the way to the end. Anyways, I just wanted to share that blog and say that I'm not dead. :) Hopefully I'll make a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wasn't planning on writing a post today but I felt inspired so…why not?      When I fist moved to ATX at the end on 2013 I knew I made to right choice. The gigs were rolling in and I felt good about the steps I took to achieve them, but at the beginning of 2014 I stated to flat line. I felt that I wasn't as motivated as I once was. I've never been the one for resolutions but I think it's time I map out a plan of attack and take 2015 by storm. Some Goals for 2015: -Book a Feature Film(any role) -Book a recurring role on a TV/Web series -Book a role on a Major Film/TV Production -Continue with my YouTube Page -Keep Auditioning  The last one is actually really important to me. In the middle of 2014 I simply wasn't putting myself out there. And as the saying goes, "Showing up is 90% of the battle". Now that I'm motivated and back in love with acting I'm going to give to my full focus and act as if I need this to survive. Break a Leg, A

Does 4am really exist?

Yes! It does, and it doesn't feel good. Lol.  I recently did background for a new show filming here in Austin and it was quite the experience. So much has been going on but I can't give a full update until I get on my laptop. I just wanted to say that I'm alive, I'm well, and I'm working! ☺️  Also, I'm going to start a new website soon. I really want a place to store my headshots, resume, on-set photos, social media sites, and a blog... All in one place that's easy to navigate. I think I found the perfect site but now I need to get the ball moving.  And..... I'm looking to get new headshots done. 😁  And....find an acting class/ coach. Jeezs.... I'm tired. Lol  Talk to you guys later!  Ally
