So...I haven't written in quite a while. I want to change the name of my blog page but I have no clue how to do that. Here is a quick update because I am super sleepy and have to work in the morning. So many things have happened since I last wrote. I never did keep up to date with my website. I ended up having to get a real job because I ran out of money and promotions were paying too slowly to keep up with bills. I have been working in the oil industry since November 2011. I recently got promoted to a better role with a nice raise. I moved out of my mom's house and got an apartment with a roommate in a really nice complex which I didnt get to enjoy, and now I am back at my mom's. Long story... Still with my boyfriend. I am still acting when I get the chance but not as much as I wish... hard to dedicate to it with a full time job, boyfriend, family and dogs! But I am trying. Just got a letter that my insurance approved my jaw surgery so will be getting braces soon...and so much more. Lots of interesting stories to tell! Will write again asap!

Another Quick Update... =(
I feel bad...yes, another quick update. I promised I was going to write all my acting experiences here but I haven't been keeping up with it as I wish I had been. Well, today is another quick one because I'm on my way to my bed now. But I do want to announce that I am now "officially" an actress =) I received my very first acting credit on IMDB.com for Single Daddies. I should have more coming but everything is taking forever!!! Here's the link to it: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4523512/ I should be getting one for Skunk-Ape Hunters in Texas, one for Lola because they said that they would be getting it too, and one for Inside Out. I want to work on having one for Frecuencia Activa as well, but I haven't even done anything for them in weeks! I feel bad but I don't have time. My boyfriend was right. I have promos, acting, family, friends and him. It's really hard spreading my time. And there I was thinking that quitting my job was actually going to give me lots of free time. Time FLIES!!! It's crazy!
Anyway, I auditioned for two more roles. One in Austin, which I was sure they would pick me, but unfortunately they didn't. Oh well, it was about a Burlesque dancer anyway. Don't think I would have been comfortable with it anyway. Another one is for a small role in a film called Dreamer, which I want to support even if they don't cast me. If you read their page you'll know why: http://www.facebook.com/dreamerfilm. I got an email for the call backs for this one which I'm excited, but they haven't said when the call backs are. I was really excited that one of the casting people is someone I know. She worked as the Assistant Director for Inside Out for the last two weeks. Oh and most importantly, I got offered a role for something I didn't even audition for. It's called El Cascabel. It's not official yet so I'm probably not supposed to be typing it here, but then again, I don't think many people read this =(. Well, turns out that the role was originally going to be done by Mayra Leal, who is the girl at the beginning of the film Machete. The naked chick: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3077040/ I had been keeping up with the film's progress and they had replaced her for some other tall chick because she had attitude problems. Now the director contacted me saying that he wants me for the role because they didn't like the new girl either. I'm excited. I didn't even have to audition for this. I'm only starting and I'm already getting offered roles for stuff =D Yay! Well, he's waiting for me to send him my measurements. I need to get that done asap.
Oh yea, the last time I wrote I talked about a role I got in Smithville, Texas with the actor from Parks and Recreation. I also got to meet Megan Mullaly from Will and Grace. Don't know for sure if she is in the film but she was on the set so I was really excited. I didn't get to take a picture with her though because they thought it would be unprofessional. =( Oh well, I'll have my bigger chances =) hmmmm turns out this was not a quick update after all LOL. I still have to talk about my experiences with Inside Out. I'll try to do that ASAP. As for now, I have a few more auditions lined up. I went to one for a film called New Vista Lane this past Saturday and the girl seemed to like me. Also, there was this thing for iPop which supposedly gets people on the Disney Channel but I want to make sure it's not a scam. My boyfriend told me about it and made me call to get an appointment. Turns out I didn't need an appointment. It was just like I thought it would be: a bunch of people and them trying to make you pay a ridiculous amount of money. They were offering a rehearsal program for like $2000 for 5 weeks. My boyfriend was willing to pay for it but I don't believe in that stuff. I could get that training for $250 in my acting classes. He said it would be worth it to have agents see me perform but I don't think I have to pay that much for that. I'm trying to get into PB anyway I'm just waiting for my Acting Reel. Well, long story short, I did my audition for the president and he said I was really good and and that I didn't need to do the training. That I could skip it and go straight to the national event in LA. But of course the price is even higher. $3900 and it doesn't even include the flight. My boyfriend thinks I'm going to save up that much. Yeah right! Well, I'll still look into it. I also have a few more auditions coming up. I'll try to write about them soon =)
Well, Good night!

Working Actress =D
So the callbacks were Sunday for that film (by the way, the name is Inside Out). Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to try and memorize it. Since I was auditioning for another film on Saturday night, I was practicing for that all Saturday. Then Sunday I had to work on a Promotional event that I had already committed to before I knew of the auditions, and of course, I wasn't even allowed to use my phone so there was no way I could practice. I went straight to the callbacks after the promotional event and had about one hour to memorize as much as I could. The scene was 5 pages long.
So it turns out that the guy playing my character's brother was going to be either Hispanic or White. I guess they couldn't find an Asian guy that they liked for that role or they just really liked one of the two guys and wanted them as a lead. It turns out one of my friends was auditioning as well, which was a very pleasant surprise! He was auditioning for the role of the character I was doing my scene with so that was awesome. We ended up practicing together and they allowed us to use our sides. I thought the audition went pretty well considering I only had an hour to review the scene.
They told my friend that they were choosing that night and letting people know the next day. I was on the damn computer all day long refreshing the page every 2 minutes and checking my email over and over. I saw they posted about two or three of the roles as cast, but no email for me. Then my friend told me texted me saying they told him to come back on Tuesday and to make sure he memorized his lines. I was freaking out because they had not told me anything. I kept waiting a few more hours then at 7pm they sent me an email saying I needed to come back as well. That was a relief because at least they were still considering me. That night I went to practice with my friend and yesterday I spent all day trying to memorize the lines. We met up about two hours before the audition to practice.
During the audition we were doing great but then my friend skipped a line which caused me to skip a line to catch up but we were able to keep going smoothly even though we both got nervous. We missed a few other things but we just kept going and they probably didn't even notice it =) At the end of the scene they said it was very good and that we took direction well and that it was a very hard scene but they liked it. They were talking to us as if we were already cast but kept saying "if" lol
That night I got an email from them at 11pm saying that I was "shortlisted" for the role, which I didn't know what meant, but the rest of the email gave me instructions like I had been cast and told me my pay and to reply to confirm. I confirmed and checked their casting call but my character still was not changed to cast. I kept refreshing and when I went to bed I had dreams about it. This morning it still had not been changed. I talked to my friend and he said that they didn't send him anything. Later on he told me they shortlisted him as well. I checked the casting call again and now my character had been changed to "Cast" but still not real confirmation. I decided to clarify with them and yes.....I AM CAST FOR THE ROLE =D And I'm getting paid for the first time to act! It's only $75 per day but it is something and I am very excited!!!!
I'll be updating more soon!

Exciting News!!! =)
A list of exciting news actually! =)
-My large dog is back home! At least for a few days anyway so I'm happy!
-Single Daddy has been picked up by a network! Yay! It's called Mi Casa Networking, and while it is a small network, I am happy! It's a great start. We will be reshooting the pilot episode and shooting 10 more episodes throughout the summer! I sent a link to the writer of where he can post an ad looking for crew he needs and can work as interns or with deferred pay so that he can get a more professional editing. I am getting my sister to help as well since she has lots of awesome ideas and is not afraid to criticize.
-About the audition that I went to last week, I got a callback! Yay! They are not offering me the role that I auditioned for but they are offering me to audition for one of the lead roles! It's surprising though because that role was supposed to be an Asian girl but we'll see what that's about. Call backs are tomorrow =) Oh and I just received a message from them saying that Joe Estevez, brother of Martin Sheen, will be directing this film!!!
-I'm getting lots of promotions request which means really good money so that I can continue trying to do what I love =)
-The local TV show that I was on last week where I auditioned to be one of the presenters turned out really cool and it looks like I'm the best one out of the three that auditioned so I might be doing that as well! Here is a link to that video: http://video.l3.fbcdn.net/cfs-l3-snc6/231711/706/175283265858272_464.mp4?oh=db67d145ba2ae7e5925959bbd6f4db38&oe=4DDABF00&l3s=20110521125936&l3e=20110523130936&lh=0efc2e600b058cd7f0890
The audition for the 20's reporter is later on today so I need to find a good monologue and memorize it. About the dance lessons, I didn't get to go this week but I'll go for sure next week. Looks like I'm gonna be super busy again! =)
