And the Emmy goes to...

Ok, so I think I can officially say that New York is not happening but while that was NOT happening something else was. I think it was back in April that I had auditioned for a commercial, I think I even had a callback but didn't hear anything after that. Until last Friday that is. I got a call saying that I was put on avail and the next day I was told that I had booked the job. So basically while I was sitting there waiting for New York to happen, or not, there was something else brewing. I'm going to be honest, it's no New York but like I've said before the fact that I continue to audition and book gigs is definitely good enough for me.

So that being said, on Thursday I had the privilege of being on set with a totally cool crew of ladies, sitting around for 10 hours to literally shoot our parts in 10 minutes! The fact that neither of us went nutso was a total miracle. The fact that I sat around for 10 hours and totally enjoyed and appreciated every minute of it was even a bigger miracle. I realized that I absolutley love doing this and the fact I get to see it begin to unravel and come to fruition is a total blessing and quite surreal if I do say so myself.

So am I bummed about NY, ummm, not really, seriously! I just want to keep working, I want to work my way up, I want to continue to learn and soak in every second of it so that when NY, or a SAG National or the Emmy's do happen (I'm watching the Emmy's so I thought I'd just throw that in there) It'll be that much sweeter. Then I'll be able to stand at the mic and thank all the little people that made this all possible ;)

NY or Bust!

Wow! Just noticed it's been a month and a day since I last blogged. Oops.

I have a good excuse though. Ok, no I don't. I think about having to write and I get sleepy.

Well alot has been going on since the last time I wrote. I've gotten a couple of auditions, I booked a Sugarland video and I just went on a callback yesterday. The video was a small last minute project and again you could only see me waaay far away for a split second but it's all good. I got to work, meet some great people, get my hair and makeup done, ride in a van with Sugarlanand have some deeeelicious food! So overall I guess I could say I had a very good day.

On my last post I had mentioned that I went on an audition for Olive Garden. That audition was on June 30th to be exact. It came and went so I figured it was cast and should be showing on your local tv station any time soon. Wrong!! I just received a call today that I got a callback for it on Monday. I was super excited to say the least, because I've auditioned for this casting company and for Olive Garden several times and have heard nothing but crickets after. So that alone was an achievement. Oh did I forget to mention that if I book it, it shoots in New York!! What??!! This is big people!

When I made my list of goals this year, a SAG national was on the list. I wrote it down, with doubt of course, but I said what the heck, my God is a big God so go for it! We'll see what happens. Even if I don't get it, I think it's a little sign reminding me that anything is possible!

Here's a clip of the Albertsons Commercial. There were 3 0r 4 commercials for this campaign but I could only get my hands on this one so far. Don't blink ok. I come out in the first 40 seconds at a patio table with my tv daughter. Enjoy!
