Never thought I would be doing this again...

Well here I am, on set as an extra for this horror film. I have nothing against background work, I just promised myself that I would only do it if I was getting payed. Yet here I am, getting payed with generic granola bars and hopefully a slice of pizza. 



I decided to come here because #1) I needed to take my mind off of the scam that I posted yesterday. And #2) it's been awhile since I've been In front of the camera. Also, I love watching other actors work and seeing how they handle them self on set. 

This has me thinking about trying other jobs behind the camera. I've done PA work and loved it but I'm worried ill get stuck there and ill never get back in front of the camera. I guess I'll think about it some more while I wait to get called to set.

              (Prop they gave me.)

PART2:
So we filmed a scene towards the end of the movie where we wait for the magic words," Are there any questions?" And we all jump out of our seats. So far it's been cool. There's about 20 of us left that thought it was cool enough to stay for a couple of hours longer. So far no pizza but very cool cast and crew. Let's see how this plays out...

PART3(9/23):
No pizza was given but I found out that it was the first day of filming so maybe I can find a way to get a speaking role. :P 

Even thought it got my mind off of things I'm really not going to do free extra work again. I think it's important for me to build my resume with speaking roles and not useless background work. With that being said I have an audition coming up this weekend for a short film and I'm filming for a web series as well. I'm really excited about these projects and I can't wait to share more info with you all. 

Until next time, BREAK A LEG!

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

Biggest Audition of My Life! (so far...)

   Today I'm auditioning for a national commercial and I'm FREAKING OUT! This will be one of the most important auditions I've ever had and I'm super nervous! It's for a "family dining" restaurant and I'm hoping to get a part as one of the store associates. I also have 2 auditions for short films. One was taped and one is here in town.  I don't leave until this after noon so I'll make sure to post a Part 2 later. Wish me luck!    Part2:  So I just finished my short film audition. It went pretty well. Hopefully I got the part :). Now I'm at the "Big One" !!! Ahhhh I'm so nervous. I have 10 minutes before I walk in. Here we go... _____________________________________   Part3: Well it's been a week and sadly I didn't get the part. In fact I didn't get any part on anything I've recently audition for. I feel like I've lost my MoJo or something. I've been getting a lot of feed back like,&q
