Audis and Audis...

Had an audition at VH1 today that I should have rocked!!  ......buuuttt..... I didn't. 
It was an audition for a commercial to be aired on VH1 only (i think) and the breakdown said they needed lipsynchers. So I submit, letting them know that I'm way better than Milli Vanilli ever was and I get called in....

We were given 4 songs to choose from to lipsynch to.....NONE of which I knew the words to...but I picked the one I could best fake it to. (Like a Prayer by Madonna, fyi) 

I go in, and the first thing they do is PUT A SNUGGIE ON ME!!!!!!  

Please note, the snuggie and all it stands for is antithetic to my entire being. 

So I barely get one word of this song right, but I'm really trying to 'sell' it with my movements and dancing and pulling faces while trying not to trip on the bottom of this goddamn extra large bright red snuggie.  ::sigh::

It was a TRAIN WRECK.  But a funny one at least!  I wish it was a taped audi so I could ask for a copy hahaha.

Anyway, I have an audition tomorrow for a play, and Saturday for a short film.  Monday I meet with a print agent via The Network.  Keepin busy :)

Stock Shoot / This Week

Yesterday was the quickest shoot and easiest money in a long time!  The shoot was for stock images to be used by real estate companies. 
Hair/Makeup was provided but I had to bring my own "summer upscale casual" wardrobe.  Of course I over packed and ended up using .00001% of what I brought. 
It was the easiest shoot ever.  We had to do very simple poses on a plain white background standing/sitting.  They mixed and matched the models up and at one point we just had to walk and talk while they photographer snapped away.  Oh, and then we had to do one wierd pantomiming type deal and that was it!  
The folks were really nice and hopefully they'll call me back for more work when they have it.  We got paid via check on the spot.  No waiting! Yay. 
All in all it was an easy peasy day.

It's February 1st!  Besides being my anniversary, today marks the end of my self imposed 'industry break.'
This week is looking okay so far.  I have a stock shoot on Wednesday, and I have an audition for a play on Friday.  Hopefully I'll be able to book something else or at least get some more auditions lined up for the week.
Today I'm going to just submit like crazy to castings and review my goals/action plan for the month of February and get cracking on it.

2010 Goals (repost)

Hey all, I had to repost this entry because the html was making my blog all wonkified. Hopefully this one will be better (thanks for letting me know about the formatting issues folks!) - Dani

I'll have to edit this list, but here's my brainstormed list of goals for 2010.

• have fun at every audi / project
• earn more via acting than I did in 2009
• be more focused than in 2009
• land a legit agent by end of the year
• land a manager by end of the year
• land more commercial reps by end of the year
• build relationships with more CDs
• land print rep by end of year
• land vo rep by end of year
• become sag-e (lofty)
• get an imdb credit page by end of year
• shoot a national commercial
• book a print ad
• book a U5 on a soap
• land lead role in a project
• see myself on tv (fun)
• get more training
• start/make reel by end of the year
• attend 2 seminars a month
• work on personal projects

These are my more general goals. I also have a list of very specific goals of exactly the types of classes I want to take, the people with whom I want to study/do seminars, and the specific shows, agents/cds and projects I'm targeting...but this general list will suffice for the blog :)

I've also created a to-do list/action plan for this and have to just break it down on a month to month basis. 2010 is going to be a great year for me (it already is!) career-wise! I'm also pursuing great things in my 'fall-back' career and I'm just excited about what's to come.
