Yesterday marked the 2-yr. anniversary since we finished the actual filming on Bloodwine. In honor of that, I wanted to do something a little fun, so, I started a best impression contest on a site I found called ibeatyou.com

OMG, I saw Jessica Alba’s on there, too. That girl is such a trip! I got such a kick out of here “I Pity The Fool” picbeat. Hilaaaaaaarious!
Eileen Hadler-Pickard, a fan of mine, made a facebook fan page for me! J Check it out!

On Saturday morning, I went and auditioned for a feature length film and had a fantastic time. I was thrown a bunch of different roles to read, and it felt like I was on the playground just sitting around being goofy with a bunch of good friends. It was THAT fun and had a really great atmosphere!
Then the lead of the film for that audition sent me a friend request and said he heard I nailed the audition, so, it looks positive; however, in a casting situation, it’s never over until you have a contract signed, and even then…funding could disappear, a project can go on hiatus, or right as you’re talking about coming on, they could get the celebrity actor they were holding out for and you could get bumped out of the role. We’re talking a whole slew of variables that could change the casting situation. So, you go in, confident that the role is yours, prepare and present yourself as if it is yours (which is why you hear the common saying “own it”) and remember that it could all change at any second no matter how you have prepared. The point is, to present yourself in such a way that you become memorable, endearing, and above all, indispensable.
Also, on Saturday evening a filmmaker approached me with a pitch for a new webisode series. As I found out, he had written it with me in mind and wanted to know if I would be interested in the project. I happily accepted the lead role in the new webisode series set to film in September. I cannot even begin to tell you how PUMPED I am about this project. Not only is it going to be action-packed, but I’m also getting a chance to put my musical skills to work and already started writing a song for the show (with some delicious harmonies) and looking forward to more songwriting for it, too. More details on the way as soon as we’re able to let you know!
