In other news, I am leaving MZA agency and tomorrow I have an interview with Trio Talent Agency for commercial representation and I am hoping all goes well. I sent a mailout to 60 different agencies in Los Angeles at the beginning of December and they were the only one to ask me for an interview. They are sag franchised, so that's important and more importanly their clients are booking... booking good stuff. I am so ready to get into those rooms and get in front of the camara!!!
Also, I got back one of the projects I worked on last April! It was the one I was waiting for to redo my reel, so that is in the works as well :)
I also submitted to be on a reality-tv style tv show, I hope hope hope hope that works out! It would be such an amazing experience!
Other than that, this acting life is an emotional roller-coaster. I am so grateful to my family and friends for their support, or I would probably turn into a crazy person. Sometimes you forget that you are talented until someone reminds you... and that sounds terrible, but its honest. There is so much talent in this city, when I end up making it, it will be a God thing because I am so bad at networking and building a career. It comes naturally to a lot of people, but I have to really practice at it... also, I live in the stone ages and suck at editing my own stuff, but I am learning all that too... so eventually the kinks will work out, at least thats the plan lol.
I am getting better at being happy for my successful friends. I used to get sooooo jealous and I would actually be mad whenever someone booked something because it reminded me of how far behind I am and how pathetic I feel. However, everyone has their own journey and mine is beautiful, not perfect and definitely not what I expected, but I truly believe that at the end, it will all make sense and in the meantime, I am grateful! Grateful for my health, my relationships, my passion and any time I get to use my gifts to perform. I've been in LA doing this acting thing coming up on three years and I still kind of feel I'm where I started, but I remind myself over and over that isn't true. My identity is not in what I accomplish or book in life. That is secondary... and besides I cant control everything so I'm not going to drive myself crazy with the "what ifs" ...
Whatever you have in your life that you long to accomplish, but cannot seem to achieve, just be reminded you are not alone and that my friend is the beauty of life :)
