Happy New Year everyone! This year, I hope to blog more regularly in order to get closer to the original intention of why I started it in the first place. To share my journey and by doing so, stay accountable and focused!
Last year was an important one for me. I was determined to take my acting career more seriously and really give it an honest go. I arranged my life in a way that would make this more feasible; I got back into regular classes; I found an agent that I am very happy about and; I got new head shots, which have actually helped me to book a lot of auditions almost immediately, so that's great!
I feel like all of this renewed focus has been paying off, so it was great to end the year with my first ever professional commercial call back! I went for an audition mid December for a breakfast cereal and it was one of a few auditions where I came out of it feeling like it went well. Most of the time, I come out of auditions not having a feeling about it one way or the other. This time, however, there was a script, which always helps. It's something to explore and get into. And, to be honest, in the case of commercials, just have fun with and not take it too seriously (the script not the audition, of course). I left feeling excited, which was good, because this was my first audition with the casting director that connected me to my agent and I really just wanted to make a good impression.
Sooo, when I got a call back, I felt like that's exactly what I had done and it felt like all of my work this past year has paid off. It was like an affirmation of sorts telling me that I'm on the right track and it has all been worth it. As the commercial is shooting today, I don't believe I've booked it...but I'm choosing to look at this experience as a victory all the same!
Here's hoping that this year continues to bring positive affirmations to encourage us along our path of rekindling and realizing our dreams!
I would love to hear about any of your experiences of : 1) rekindling your dream; 2) positive affirmations you've received along the way; 3) inspiration that has kept you going.
Here's wishing you all a year of rekindling and inspiration!

So very proud of you, Fra. Too tired to think of anything profound to share, but I hope to come out of 2011 feeling rekindled and inspired. Marriage tank is about 90% full, the tank for my darling girls is 1000% full, but the Rachael tank is a little low. I will let you know how it goes!!!
Thanks again for sharing your journey.
FraFraLa... go Get 'em. You have an amazing spirit and your shine will be seen! With smiles and hugs,
JaBru
Aww, my Texans...thank you both very much! Rachael, I have no doubt that once you shift your focus to your Rachael tank, it will be as successful as the other tanks that have had the pleasure of your focus and are all the better for it! I look forward to hearing all about it!
