New Headshots

It's funny how a little thing like updated headshots makes you feel like you are making progress in this business, when who can really ever define progress? Irregardless  they were so fun to shoot and it's always a blast looking at the outcome. I'm auditioning for graduate school for the 3rd year in a row this February in Chicago. I've gone with my best friend from Austin each year. It's like a little reunion for us. I haven't done any shakespeare in months, so that could turn out to be disastrous. Because I'm working on so much film and Television and the energy is so different, I almost feel like I forgot how to do shakespeare even though I've done so much of it in the past.

I have to tell someone my dirty little secret. To be honest, I don't really think I want to go to grad school because I'm not completely convinced it leads to a career outside of someday teaching. I want to go to visit chicago and see my best friend. To be young and travel. I'm beginning to get far too excited about opportunities in La to drop them and move. However, life feels like it operates this way, just as soon as you get adjusted, you move on. But I supppose that keeps you from resenting or getting too bored of any particular stage of life. Sometimes I think I'm spastic. What I want changes all the time. Sometimes I say too much- like probably now... As long as it's confession time, I sometimes HATE facebook because it becomes a platform for everyone to brag about their lives and perception is a pretty strong reality for everyone else.

Back to acting, We shot on location downtown, which was fun and I discovered a new little area of studios and "trendy" coffee shops- you know the type- burlap on the walls and a guy with full beard, beanie and toms sitting by the window and don't forget the clark kent glasses. I think a lot of people in La try too hard, but again, who am I to speak so condescendingly? Commercial and theatrical with good lighting and a good expression- to see it in the eyes, that's the key I'm told. Print, e mail, get em out there!
