Summer Auditions, Mean Girls 2, and just STUFF!


So things have been slowing down lately... It's like week 1 of summer and I'm ALREADY bored (... I never thought I'd say that)
Rumor has it that there have already been callbacks for the principle roles in Mean Girls 2 so that's been bumming me out, but who knows they're only rumors.

Right now I'm trying to save up money to get some copies of my headshots because I REALLY need to send them to some agencies. I think it's finally time to take it up another notch and finally take the steps needed (and get a PAYING job) so I can start saving up for my month long excursion to L.A Cali.

I'm also looking for a new hair style... well I already found it and in the process of convincing my mom. I had it once for the Runway show I did back in October and it's so versatile and unique I think it'll help to make me stand out...
The photo is here on this post somewhere... (still haven't figured that thing out)

ANYWAY!
So It's summer and I have SUMMER GOALS!
-Get five new subs a day on Youtube
-Get 200 followers on Twitter
-Get an AGENT
-Book one paying job this Summer
-Get a new Look
-Do my Summer Homework

Hopefully some of these will actually get done!

HUgs&Kisses!

Day and the Life- Getting started.

Okay, So you came to this blog for a reason: you either stumbled across this goldmine of information by accident, you looked on my you tube, or you google searched me...

Either way, I say welcome.


This is how I got started in my life as an actor:

First grade I was in a little musical performance as a cute little ballerina doll, and I was instantly hooked on acting. I took music lessons during school with my class, and begged my parents to let me take classes and a theater when I was entering the 6th grade, and they let me. I was in a couple of small productions, but soon found out that a film career was my calling. In 9th grade (I think) I was "discovered" by Peter Sklar who took me under his wing and I went to New York for an acting workshop that lasted for a week. It was amazing and filled with people who were just like me, and wanted to do what I wanted to do for a living.
High School Freshman year nothing really went on, I joined our drama class and learned some new tips to help me better prepare myself for the long road to become a successful actor.
Summer was a bit different, Peter invited me to his first ever Hollywood workshop, and to say the least I excelled. I wowed Marnie Cooper, acting coach (google her), and got a taste of the "real" LA atmosphere.

Sophomore year was much like Freshman year, nothing too much to report.
But the Summer was one I'd not soon forget, the time that I could say that I was a full fledged actor. I got my first paid acting gig at 100 dollars a day for two days. Not bad :) it was amazing... I'll post a blog on that later.

Now, I've had my ups and downs, and felt defeated many times and thought about quitting... but now, not so much. I have a ton of things coming my way and nothing is going to stop me from fulfilling my dreams! This is the time that I either make it break it.
