She did a Season 2 YAY!!!


Katerina Graham
Actress / Singer

So happy I ran across this. I was just talking to one of my good friends about do everything in your power to be where you want to be. It's more than just wanting something and waiting for someone to hand it to you. You will be waiting a long time! I told her about Katerina Graham (I did an earlier post about her) and how I can see this girl's drive. I watch her vlog because it inspires me, it just goes to show you, you have to work and work hard and then work harder. (You're not the only one who wants this and someone is working harder than you. So are you just going to accept that?)


She has a season 2 to her vlog series and I can't wait to watch them.

okay off of my soap box for now :)

This Time Audition.

*Okay so I try to keep hush hush about auditions that I go on, just in case I don't get the part. Can't think like that anymore. Because I WILL get the part (but if I don't, it was not meant for me). I'm going to share this with you because someone shared it with me.

This Time (Short Film)
Directed by Matthew Cherry
Written and Starring Reagan Gomez
also stars Terri J Vaughn
*Based on the song "This Time" by John Legend.

One thing I learned from working as a casting assistant is research who you are auditioning for, what you are auditioning for, any information you have about the audition. All the information was given to us by the director. He set up a blog for the short film and it followed his work throughout pre-production. [ This Time Movie Blog ] I also learned to be yourself and Have Fun! (I'm still improving with unleashing my full personality) The Audition was UStreamed, exciting and new. :)


Here's the Script and my Script Analysis for the lines I was given to read. Which I learned from Matthew Cherry's blog. (well most of it there's a few more points on the back)


Also a link to the song. This Time- John Legend


If you get the role, Great! You were confident and prepared and your talent shined through. If you don't get the role, Great (well not so great) but still Good, because first impressions are lasting impressions and you just made an impression. You just wasn't right for it and they found someone who was. It's all about getting the best quality work. so SMILE it may be your role the next audition!

**Oh I forgot to tell you. On my way to the audition I was right behind this bus, and it got off on my exit and turned right, just like me.


it says "follow me to New Life". I noticed it and said hey that's smart and then I said wait a minute... God are you trying to tell me something? I am LOVING it and following.

A New Year is here... and I can tell the difference already

Some horoscope I read early January of last year told me, 2009 would be my foundation year. I thought I was ready for the world and the big screen last year but... I listened. I believed. Best thing I did last year. 2009 I embraced it wasn't my time to shine but it was my time to build a solid foundation.

2009
  1. First "REAL" Professional Headshot (by Kelsey Edwards)
  2. Acting Classes and Coaching (Kristen Shaw)
  3. Several Acting Workshops (Nick Conti & Blueprint 4 Hollywood)
  4. Purchased my website 
  5. Started a blog about my experiences
  6. Purchased a schedule (small but major)
  7. Auditioned, Auditioned, Auditioned
  8. Kept in contact, Kept in contact, KEPT in CONTACT
  9. Extra work, Supporting role work, Lead role work
  10. Learned, Appreciated, Loved, Thanked God
Now 2010
 

Within this first week of the new year, I have seen a major improvement from the last week of last year. (If you CLICK the images you will be able to read clearly)
