Third Time's a Charm

It must be embedded in my genes or something, but I am always total crap during my first reading at an audition. Always. I almost always stop midway through and beg for another chance. It must be so off putting and so unrepresentative of me. It blows because I'm actually quite a good actress and I take direction very well, but in an audition setting my nerves get the best of me and I fumble. Always.

All in all, I actually think the audition went pretty well. But you never know until you hear back. I'd really love the part, and I'd tell you about it except that I signed a nondisclosure agreement. Anyway, fingers crossed!

Networking

Brad and I went to an industry mixer at Sole Repair this evening and met some interesting people. Hopefully we'll be able to position ourselves in such a way that local filmmakers will take notice of us and want to use us in their films.

I'm pretty buzzed from my lemon drop and now I need to head to an audition. I actually think the buzz will help me be more relaxed and natural. Wish me luck!

The Weekend

I haven't been able to write the last couple days because I've been so busy! On Saturday I was at the Halos and Rainbows shoot for ten hours and didn't get home until 4:30am. It was a long night, but I had a lot of fun when I was actually working. The other actors are good people and I'm excited to see how they did on film.

I got this great scene where I get to interrupt the main characters by knocking over loads of beer, wine, and liquor bottles. It was awesome, but after several takes my sleeves were pretty soaked. Anyway, I had a good time and I go back for more filming tonight. I'm really anxious and excited to see how they cut the footage together, I hope it turns out as well as I know it can! Trust me, as soon as I'm able to I'll either link to or host some or all of the film here.

On Sunday I went to an audition for a college comedy and read for two of the lead female roles. They offered me the role of Vici, who in my opinion is the more interesting of the two. No word yet on when or where shooting will be, but it should be fun.

Tonight I'll be going back for more Halos and Rainbows filming. Hopefully it won't be quite as late as Saturday's shoot.

Man, they want stand-ins for the regulars on a show on TNT in Portland, but I'm too short for all of the actors. Heh. Here's the link though, if you match any of the following criteria:

TIMOTHY HUTTON: Caucasian; Ht. 5'11" - 6'; Wt. 165-175; Brown Hair, Blue Eyes

CHRISTIAN KANE: Caucasian; Ht. 5'8.5"-5'9.5"; Wt. 170; Brown Hair, Blue Eyes; Very muscular

ALDIS HODGE: African/American; Ht. 6'0.5"-6'2"; Wt. 180-185; Black Hair; Brown Eyes: Long and lanky

GINA BELLMAN: Olive Complexion; Ht. 5'7"-5'8"; Wt. 130; Brown Hair; Brown Eyes

BETH RIESGRAF: Caucasian; Ht. 5'6"-5'7"; Wt. 120-125; Blonde Hair; Hazel Eyes

The Theataaah

I went to my first theater audition today. To be honest, I'm not sure how well I did. I kind of think I was okay, but it's hard to tell sometimes. I'm getting better at showing up for these things and not getting too nervous; I'm sure the more I go to the easier it will be for me to stay cool. (ice cold) Heh.

I really liked the script (what I read of it anyway) so I think it could be a really fun play to be in if I were to be cast. I think I do so much better when I get to audition with another actor so I have someone to answer to and react to, but I try my best regardless.

Tomorrow I don't have any auditions, but then Saturday through Monday I'll be on the set of Halos and Rainbows. On Sunday I also have another audition, this one is in Auburn, so it'll be a busy day.

Audition: Young Man Needed For Reading

I'm going to be reading for "Hannah" tomorrow, but she needs a guy to read for Seamus.

Local writer Julie Salle is in need of another actor for her script
reading in front of patrons on April 4th. If you are interested and
fit the bill, please contact her ASAP!
Thanks,
Denise

“Circuity” is a feature length story of teen lust, envy and the
circumstantial choices that compel life forward. Everything is set
for a live reading the evening of April 4th, with the exception of
finding the right 'Seamus' and ‘Hannah (Already posted).’

Exercise your talent for an audience of over 100 art patrons and a few
industry folks.

Seamus Sinclair - early 20's
Seamus is a cocky, confident young man who moves through the world
with a sense of entitlement. He speaks in direct commands and
apologizes for nothing. The attraction between he and Hannah is lust
filled and wanton, but is it love? The first time she says 'No' is
when he says good-riddance. It's a choice that haunts moving forward.
