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!

Another Quick Update...

So it turns out I've been busier than expected.  I finished filming my part of the film and working on a new project tomorrow.  Well, I have to get everything ready now.  I have to be there super early tomorrow and it's a two hour drive so I better go to bed but I'll explains everything that's been going on as soon as possible =)
