Characterture or Character ?

I filmed an awesome scene a week or so ago. However, the make-up gal went a little overboard trying to make me LOOK crass. My character is "The Crass Woman", but the words she says, the attitude she has, lets the camera know that subtley. I hope at the screening coming up I'm not too dissapointed. I always an adversion to hair and make-up folk. I know how to create my characters AND myself better than they do. Sometimes in the biz if you protest, you are considered 'hard to deal with'. So I give in and then beat myself up about it later. UURRRGGGGG!!!!

Beginner - Novice

Okay two years ago I decided to learn to use the "Audio Prompter".  I'd heard there was a lot of work out there for this skill. So I studied, worked hard, walked around with an earpiece continually. I even had to audition this new skill for my agent. So time passes with no audition for such and I forget all about it. THEN ...  I received an audition notice for an Audio Prompter Industrial!!!! Yikes!!!! Get the script loaded on my prompter, which took about 60 tries till I thought it sounded conversational. Then worked all evening with my "Flip" camera to make sure I was pulling it off in front of the lens, Very tricky actually. Arrived at my audition, truly nervous but confident.

I NAILED IT!!!!

MOVIE STAR DAY!

I am so blessed in so many ways! My friends get gifts and then bless me with using their gift. So the case of AnnMarie's birthday present. A professional camera that rocked my pictures out of the park yesterday! Thank you for being so generous to me AnnMarie!

You made me feel like a MOVIE STAR!

Watch for me !!!

Watch for me this Friday, April 29, at 7:00 pm on NBC! I'll be Ms. Rene on "Friday Night Lights" episode #503, directed by David Boyd.

Been busy sending out Postcards to Casting Directors. Hopefully I'll get called in for some auditions in the coming weeks.

I had a wonderful time in Dallas for a week as "GG" with my grandson "Jett". What a joy He is in my life.

Yesterday was Easter. Church was wonderful with Alan singing and playing the Sax. He rocked it!

My thought for the day: "With man it is impossible, BUT with God All Things are possible." Possible here is Dynamos! Meaning with God's dynamic Power He can take me from obscure to highly sought after actress in a nano second!

It's all good!

March is my Birthday Month

Don't cry because it's Over,
Smile because it Happened.

Yes, my last year in this decade.

LAYER

There are so many layered Characters inside me! I thank GOD I can walk around in the shoes of these women.

Some I love and some I love to leave behind.

Sideshow

Sideshow is a film I just finished shooting. It's about crimes of passion. My shoot was awesome! I learned a lot, mostly more surety in my own abilities. I connected with new actors, refilled my inspiration levels, and laughed so hard at times I had to remind myself about the seriousness of the work I was doing. My scenes came so natural, the weather was perfect for bike riding scene, the entire day was beautiful and magic.

I'm not sure exactly how I even came to be a part of this film. I pretty much believe in everything. This is not so easy as it sounds, some days I find myself disappointed, actually a lot of the time. So things all lining up is a fine little surprise when it comes about. It is good to know I was right about Angels .

On Sunday we met to take a cast photo for the poster. After the photo, we were asked to sing a bit of the theme song as our character would. Awesome! I sang as Martha. I didn't sing as well as I actually can
because I was a little nervous. But I sang it with a breakable heart, one drop away from tears, sad, but soft and graceful as Martha would. I found her. I get it.
