auditions and rehearsals and ants

Last week was great fun. I went out on a few fun commercial auditions. The most fun improv audition was for Mailman on Friday. It's the upcoming Master P movie. I took Darlene Hollywood (my little wooden friend) and walked in the room. Master P ran the interview. Darlene and I did a short bit from our stand-up routine and then started improvising with Balyndah Bumpus, the casting director and Master P. Sometimes Darlene surprises me with the stuff that comes out of her mouth (so to speak). Anyway, it was fun. Then Saturday I went to auditions of Dead Girls Club and Frogtown. Both projects appear to be interesting and wonderful. I seemed to be the edgiest girl at both auditions, but I felt really good about my choices. I'd love to work on both of them.

Tonight I had an improv show at LA Connection. It was a good time, as always. My favorite compliment after the show was from an audience member that thought I was a totally different person at one point when I was onstage doing my "Jade" goth poetry character. I think it's wonderful that she thought I was someone else...that's a large part of my job as an actor.

Tomorrow I have a ranting improv audition at 9:45am...EARLY!!! Especially to be funny and witty. Hmmm. And then at noon I am going to be on a panel for a new game show. That will be a blast. I love game shows.

Tuesday I am finally getting my reel put together..and getting rid of our ANTS (they are taking over the condo) and rehearsal.

I was looking over my blog and I mention FUN a lot. I think it's amazing to have the opportunities to have fun so often...I am very thankful.

Good night.

Catching up

Wow...busy is an understatement. So rehearsals for JUNK are going amazingly well. I am picking up the music much quicker than I thought I would. Everyone is really fun to work with. My meeting with Monika Mikkelsen and the Director and Producer for the feature went well. I was very excited about the project, so I'm sure I spoke 100 miles per minute. That happens when I am excited about something. I dropped a thank you card off the following day after my meeting with Glenn Gaylord (to prep for singing the LEZ BE FRIENDS pilot theme song). I was bummed that Monika was out of the office...I really wanted to thank her personally. She's a wonderful casting director, very easy going and nice. I always have fun when seeing her. Gene, her associate, is really great also. The improv showcase on Sunday went well. Everyone in the Sunday Funny group worked well together sharing moments and giving gifts...all very funny, as well. I had a blast at my birthday party on Saturday also.
