You have a fancy schmancy cell phone and an even cooler laptop and yet I’m going to guess that you don’t pick up that phone or shoot off an email from that laptop to a big producer whom you deem to be “out of your reach.” Am I right? Or, am I right? Continue reading
In Appreciation for the Last-Minute Audition
I love auditions where my agent calls me last-minute to go into casting. Usually, a last-minute call means they haven’t found the right talent yet, or they’ve had so many cancellations, they’re trying to fill slots with actors who are available to show up. In the voice over world, it’s a great thing to be called into a casting director or producer’s office to audition because your shot at the job is much greater than auditioning virtually against 2000 other MP3s.

This is going to be short and to the point, just like ME! As a newbie to Twitter, I can’t believe how quickly it has changed my life! Continue reading
The tide always changes

Are you the next Snookie?
I have a friend who just pitched her show to a few incredible production companies. While they all seemed to respond to her show, nobody bit. Continue reading
Motivation to Write Your One-Person Show
Sometimes motivating to write a one-person show is challenging. There’s no one waiting, no necessary deadline. It’s just you, on your own, accountable to no one. That may cause your writing motivation to sag, it’s understandable and common! Happens to me all the time! Here’s are some ways I’ve found to juice myself. Continue reading
Don’t always listen to me.
A few weeks back I told you to always “feel free to make it your own.” Remember? I said that hosting auditions mostly want to see YOU not necessarily their copy.
Well, I am eating crow right now because I was SO wrong, at a recent audition. Continue reading
Who knew that being 38,000 feet in the air can make you feel so grounded?
Sometimes getting away (even for just a weekend) can do wonders for one’s perspective on their career. Currently I’m sitting in seat 8A of a Southwest Airlines flight en route to Washington, DC, for a family event. Continue reading
