Acting Update

Hey everyone! This update is LONG overdue and I apologize. It's getting harder and harder for me to find time and remember to update this blog. Sorry. I will try and do it more often. Okay so an acting update...to be completely honest I have been down about my acting career and the lack of progress I would like it to have. I feel as if the devil has been attacking and bringing me down in this area. But I am determined not to let it get me too down. I'm trying to keep my spirits up and God has been using some people in my life to help encourage me.

About a week ago, when I was feeling really down about it. God used my acting teacher to encourage me and help lift my spirits. She has been such a blessing and I am so thankful that God brought me to her and her class. She has become not only my acting teacher but a good friend as well.

Right now my main goal is to get an agent. Once I get the agent then I can be going out on big auditions and booking roles. Nov/Dec I sent a bunch of submissions out to agencies but haven't heard back from any of them. It is a little discouraging but I'm not giving up. I know God has me here for a reason and when His timing is right it will happen - but it's still frustrating. My acting teacher is trying to reach some agents she knows on my behalf, so hopefully I'll get an agent soon.

I'm also looking into taking some additional sessions/classes/workshops with some casting directors. It will be a good chance to work with some of the big names in the industry and build relationships with them. There seem to be some good opportunities arising with that, so hopefully some things will be arising with those too. I'm just really wanting to do all I can to get my foot in the door and get things ruling in the direction I want them to go.

Also, late last year I submitted a some auditions online as a part of open calls for: "Small Faces: The Runaways", "TALENT" web show, and "We Bought a Zoo". I didn't get any of those but I'm going to keep at it. You never know if you don't try. I am also going to be submitting for a new open call for a movie called "Transfers" about a group of transfer students in college. I will keep you all posted.
xoxo
