25 Things To Do Before I Turn 25
This isn’t so much a post, as a list. I have a lot of interesting things going on that I will write about once they are more concrete, but in the meantime, I am going to share this. Last week when I was filming, our makeup artist mentioned that she had completed 23 of the 25 items on her list of things to do before she turns 25. She gave a few examples of things on her list, and I figure it would be a great deadline to accomplish some goals. This list is hopefully realistic, and I fully intend on completing all 25 before April 11th 2015. I will…

Summer is Here!
The sun is shining and life is beautiful! There is something about the weather that makes everything seem happier and easier, although it also means another busy season of movies for Montreal has started without me, but I digress. Wednesday night, I got my first taste of the Actor’s Fight Club. It is supposed to be a place where actors meet to work on auditions or lines or simply come to act. The rules aren’t quite the same as in the movie Fight Club, as it is an entirely different concept, but the first rule, “Leave your ego at the door”, is repeated multiple times in the list. This particular…

A Very Good Friday!
This has been a really good week for me, or at least the past few days have been. I had been preparing for the casting call on Sunday, and class on Thursday, without much else going on, until Wednesday… To start, I got my scene partner for the May Tom Todoroff Intensive. She was a performer at the one a couple of weeks ago, and I thought she was really good, so I am excited to be working with her! Next, I got a call for a project I had submitted for. He sent me the script, and I sent him my availabilities so we could arrange a meet. We…

Dream a Little Dream…
I just got back from a partially relaxing weekend in Quebec City, where I dined on delicious food at Le Continental, swam outside in the snow and got some writing done before putting in some work. I also had a lovely dinner with my parents, where my dad reminded me of my writing dreams, and said he would get my book published for me if I could write it, so I am going to be working a little more on that now! Before leaving, I had a pretty exciting couple of days. On Thursday, I had my on-camera acting class with Suzanna. I tried working on the tears, but I…

Second Time’s The Charm :)
Saturday I spent the day at a theater, for my second taste of the Tom Todoroff Act Now program. I had both been looking forward to it, and was slightly terrified of it, since I was expected to have worked on what I got wrong last time and improved, which I was afraid I hadn’t. Luckily, though I was still a bit nervous, the stress and fear disappeared as soon as I got there. It’s something about being surrounded by like-minded people with the same hopes and fears as you, that makes it seem less scary, because at least you’re not alone. I sat with Lisa, my friend Jonathan,…

Back in Class!
This past week has been pretty busy for me, and I love feeling like I am actually doing something. On Thursday, I went back to class with Suzanna Lenir, and did in fact get to catch up with some friends who were there before I left, and also meet some new ones. I arrived there almost a half an hour before class, but spent the whole time talking with my fellow classmates about my trip to LA and our acting journeys. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who feels overwhelmed by all the decisions and figuring out we have to do 🙂 I was given a scene…

Two for Two!
Now that I am back home and still pursuing acting over a more stable career, I am getting slightly stressed out about not doing enough, which leads to me making a lot of lists and feeling like I have an overwhelming amount of things to do. It is lucky that I have a mild case of OCD, because I really like checking items off my list, so things seem to be getting done. I have been back from Los Angeles for 2 weeks, and have already been on two auditions. The second one was Monday night, and I did the scenes 4 times, which I hope means they saw something…
