UNBALANCED

Call it a silver lining. Or maybe my ships come in. Thanks to the film industry going to casting "real people" types. I no longer remotely resemble my once glamours days, now I can be a real Character Actor. I auditioned for a "Librarian" last week in a major SAG feature film. This week I fully expect a call-back. I've not been reading tea leaves, but I think I'll book this role. I don't compete with the star in the scene. I now have the ability to go under the radar just enough to not become a silhouette. It's a real talent who can feel unnoticed while still feeling important in the scene. It's a little unbalanced to a trained actor wanting to be discovered to now go in and try to be undetected. Now that's acting! I'm getting this one!!!!!

SKINNY

Here's the 'Skinny". Did you ever notice how often people say things they don't mean? "I'm a private person." Anyone who is truly a private person doesn't have to say so at all. They just are. My friend AnnMarie and I really look out for each other. Now we don't declare it, or even elude to such. We just do it! I have her best interest at heart and she has mine. That's the 'Skinny". As actresses that's a little unusual too. A few years back I met AnnMarie. She became a true confidant and a monumental giver in my life. Her generosity and similar taste have carved out an urban friendship as comfortable as my rural grandparents home.

Saturday we spent the morning in Austin attending our standard Casting Director acting class. We then each went to an audition. Then we drove down to Austin's resturant area and sat on the patio filled with beautiful weather and beautiful ladies. We ate chips and salsa, laughed and shared more of our dreams as working SAG actors. Non stop talking on the two and half hour drive back to Houston is always a highlight of our time spent sharing our hearts.
