Yes I did. WHAT?! I know. There I was minding my own business, posting my stuff on casting websites, sending out submission packages to agencies – hoping for the best, expecting nothing. Then BOOM! I receive an email from Nuance Talent Management!!!! They found my profile on Casting Workbook and thought “she has a niceContinue reading “Did I get an Agent?!”

Almost a full year… oops
Alrighty, we’ll see how long I’m back for this time. I needed to write something so I came back to this old thang to write a blog post about this past year. I signed up for and completed two different acting courses through different studios. I thoroughly enjoyed learning at Railtown Actors Studio – weContinue reading “Almost a full year… oops”
Summer
It was a long summer. I worked as a tour guide for the summer in downtown Vancouver. I rode around on buses and gave live commentary to the guests on board. I met people from all over the world and realized how useless only speaking english is. So far I’m 342 days absent from Duolingo,Continue reading “Summer”
A Positive Thing
Well, I suppose the time my sister saved my life. We were on a family vacation to Florida in 2001, and everything was amazing! Disney World, Epcot Centre, Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios – we were absolutely spoiled on this trip. We also had an awesome hotel, we were staying at a Holiday Inn resortContinue reading “A Positive Thing”

Weird Month

I live in Vancouver, so it’s pretty dreary here during the fall/winter/spring months. You know, the Pacific Northwets (that was a typo, butContinue reading “Weird Month”
The Perfect Day
I’d wake up with the love of my life, which I’m lucky enough to do every day, we would have whatever our hearts desire for breakfast, and head off to our respective vocations. I would have a full day of recording and editing the commercials for big, expensive, companies. I’d also find the time toContinue reading “The Perfect Day”
The lottery…
If I won the lottery, and we’re talking millions and millions here, I’d do what my mum suggested: I’d give my friends and family a certain percentage of my winnings. I’d make sure all my family was taken care of: houses and educations paid for. Then I’d set up my friends so they’re at leastContinue reading “The lottery…”
Trying for the big leagues
I’ve sent an email to a talent agent. I know, I know, pretty big leaps and bounds happening here. But I was really nervous to send the email, it took many days of staring at the draft before I actually typed in the email address, and another couple of days of staring at that. ButContinue reading “Trying for the big leagues”
