The Street Cleaner

I volunteered to help raise funds for an upcoming movie called "The Street Cleaner." This movie will bring awareness/help put an end to human trafficking.

April Update

Lately, I've been feeling stressed. I have rehearsals two days a week for "That's the Way of the World" in addition to working and squeezing in auditions. Today, I had a first (two commercial auditions in one day). But I welcome being this busy!

At least they were in the same city -- Austin, which is a little over a two-and-a-half-hour drive for me. The first one was in the morning, then I had to wait around for several hours for the next one.  The second one lasted all of two minutes.  Then I was on the road again to go back to Houston.  By the time I got home, I was exhausted. For the most part, I feel good about both of them.  If I don't book either one of them, I'm still blessed and thankful for getting more auditions than I did in North Carolina. So I guess my new head shot is working.

Since I joined my new agency, Tory Christopher Group, I have been asked to audition consistently -- which is an improvement from every two or three months.  I must have a commercial look, because all of my auditions so far have been for TV commercials and print ads.  I can't wait until I actually book one.

I've been bummed that I had to miss a couple of auditions because of my job. But I always feel better when I get an email for auditions to replace them and seem to work out better with my schedule.  Just this week, I had to forgo one for a movie that will film in Dallas.  That one kind of hurt.  But at least familiar casting directors are inviting me back, and I am meeting new ones.

Houston Acting Group

I enjoy getting together with these talented actors every month to do acting exercises and to film scenes/monologues.

Moving on to bigger and better things

I just finished my Acting II class,  and I got an A! Ending the class is bittersweet since this is my last class at N.C. A & T State University. I will miss my classmates and Professor Day. They are all so talented and pushed me to step it up to become a better actress. Since I was working at the university, my classes were free. But since my job is ending this summer, I cannot afford to stay in the program.

 The film industry in North Carolina has dried up for the most part. I am looking forward to moving out west for better opportunities. My future move to Houston is a little scary but exciting at the same time. Houston's film industry is booming, and New Orleans is a short drive too! I'm looking forward to networking with news actors, directors, writers, and producers in another state and city. Houston isn't Los Angeles, but there seems to be many plays, commercials, TV shows, and movies being made. I can't wait to see where I'll be a year from now.
