After being terrified of acting classes back in 1999, i enrolled again into classes in 2001 shortly after booked an off broadway play, & shortly after that started booking independent films, three years went by in 2004 I made callback list for Robert Townsened Same year was refered by a classmate to the Kolstein Talent Agency. Went on & hired a private coach Lee Kelly who is awsome by way, she taught me how to do cold readings on the spot with atleast 10 minutes read through. I mean i can do better reading sides @ last minute then have had the script for a day or so. This is how good this lady is. & i know im good @ cold readings cause a few weeks ago I auditioned for “Crimson Mask” (Feature film) & they literally gave me about roughly 10 minutes to go over the sides & the director asked me if i would come read for another role. My agent has sent me out here & there but some how I havn’t booked anything so meaning that this bussiness is so competitive it isnt that im not good cause as you can see i have done everything that an actor should do its just that some how i might not be the look casting directors are looking for, I could of been working for primetime but its ok my years of experience have just got me braver & I can take my knowledge with me for ever! I will continue auditioning & self promoting myself , until the wright role comes my way. @ the moment i continue working on my craft & self promoting myself in a sassy sexy classy way, its part of showbiz, making a name for yourself, planning strategies that work for you, its all part of the game, i mean Haly Berry won an oscar for having sex on screen, Jennifer lopez did a naked seen @ the beginning of her carreer “out of sight”… An agent can believe in you but when they send you out if your not booking & not making them money they will stop sending you out & has nothing to do with you, they just gonna go with their next client who is bringing them that cash. Sometimes you are auditioning well but you still dont book, it took for me to get this far to get up & do something, cause really in this bussiness noone cares about you, or iether you got the look & are good, got the look & will be made or you got money signs written all over you. I just decided im not going to wait for my agent to send me out on my next audition.
