I had two auditions last week. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to one of them becuase it was in Cambridge, over an hours drive by car, but the fact is in one week, I had two auditions and my agent just started to use my new headshots last week. Very promising. Now, I just have to deliver when I get to the auditions...that's on me. But, so far the shots seem to be doing their job and for that I am quite relieved.
The audition I was able to get to was for a commercial that would be shooting in Buenos Aires...how cool is that?! The callbacks are next week and I haven't heard back yet, so I don't think I booked it, but all the same, it feels great to be out there auditioning again!
I'd be lying if I didn't say that I am not exactly looking forward to having to be "audition ready" all the time as it is normal to only get one days notice for an audition. There's a weird sort of pressure that comes with feeling like you have to look good and be "on" on certain days. Also, since I've only been to the gym twice since my vacation, I am a wee bit nervous. But, at the same time, I know myself...it takes me a long time to get back into a routine but once I do I stick to it because I've gotten back into it in my own time.
Well, please do wish me luck folks as I head back into the world of a professional auditioner! Here's hoping I book a few jobs while I'm at it! Alright, a lot of jobs...just putting it out there!
I look forward to sharing my new headshots soon, so stay posted. I'd love to hear what you think.
Have a great week!

Rest & Relaxation
Just in time to help me gear up for what I'm hoping will be a very busy time (what with all the auditioning I'm going to be doing AND booking jobs of course! Huh, how do you like that positive thinking!) I was able to go on vacation to Jamaica for some good R&R! Sure we weathered a Tropical Storm while we were there, but nothing a little Red Stripe and my new favourite cocktail...Creme de Cocoa and milk on ice ...couldn't help us cope with!
Here are some pics I thought I'd share with you:

An awakening
Really good things are happening. In fact, things I have planned on making happen, are happening and it feels great! It feels like the balance between the life I've lead and the life I am working towards is finally slowly beginning to shift in my favour. I feel an awakening in the parts of me that feel joy, hope, excitement and passion! They are beginning to stir and feel hopeful again!
I'd taken the summer to focus on some things I felt were necessary to help me to be more successful in the long run, i.e. continuing with my training, getting into shape, etc. (thus, explaining my absence on the blog...nothing really noteworthy to blog about). Then, I had planned on working towards getting new headshots at the end of the summer and sending them out to agents along with a new demo reel. A lot of work had to be done. Well, quite to my surprise, a promising lead that I mentioned to you a while back, has come through and I am now with agent!
I have also just got my new headshots done by the wonderful Ian Brown and I can't wait to share them with you. I am really quite pleased and hope my agent is too!
I feel like all my work in the past 10 months has paid off and has lead me to this moment. I set goals for myself and I find myself reaching them and it feels quite satisfying. I have found an agent & agency who believe in me, who know what they are doing and want to work to help my career. I have the utmost trust in them and this relationship. I feel like things are now possible. I am starting a new chapter in my life; one that is similar to a few I've ventured through before, but this time it feels different; I feel different. I feel ready and confident; willing and able. I know what I want and I plan to rise to the challenge. I feel like I've been given another chance and I am so greatful. Makes me feel like I'm not just imagining that this is what I'm meant to do; it is what I'm meant to do...yay!
As I write this, I feel joyous and I hope to be able to share the journey with you now that things may actually start happening... the ever exciting journey of wading through auditions...ahhh, ain't life grand! Thanks so much for all your support so far!
