Getting things done in September - that's what it's all about!

Auditions, callback, writing the screenplay, getting headshots printed and all that jazz...every day, I just keep working it.  For me.

The project this month was getting myself back to the physical - eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep - and I'm pretty much there.  Next month is working up a daily acting gig for myself - working with my camera, working my monologues, working my voice.

And all the while, writing the screenplay!

September 13, 2010

Had a good callback last week, another audition today and one tomorrow.  I think I've had more auditions in the last two weeks than I've had all summer.  Amazing what a shift in energy will do for a person.  The new shots are also paying off, always a good thing.

Right now I've regrouped and am focusing on an agent mailing, primarily to get a commercial agent as that seems to be where I'm getting auditions right now.  Theatrically, I'm going to do a drop tomorrow at the L&O offices for SVU which is in production at the moment and continue submitting for other projects.  Movement creates momentum and the momentum is growing.

I'm reading my Idiot's Guide to Screenwriting and hope to pick up a copy of Final Draft 7 (yes, the previous version) soon.  The key seems to think in terms of pictures and actions, not dialog, so I've been "seeing" the film in my mind more so than hearing it, which is how I was focusing before.  I also am writing the main male character for a particular actor in my mind, which helps me focus who and what I want him to be.  All good stuff.

Still frustrated that all my phone calls to AFTRA haven't even netted one return email in reply.  I understand they're overworked and understaffed, but it's been three months of contacts now.  *sigh*

September 2, 2010

Had a cheery good day - tamed the eyebrows, picked up the new headshots from Reproductions and then had a rockin' good audition for a popular Japanese tv show.

Life is good!!
