It's been awhile since my last post but it seems like the mornings have been busy. Last week I taped a monologue that I wrote for an audition. They wanted a dvd of your own material, specific to the show's theme. It was my first stab at stand up and it is was fun and surprising. I have such respect for stand up comedians - I think it is one of the hardest gigs in the entertainment business. And I can't wait to start taking improv classes - I'm still not sure which school to start studying with but I need to figure it out soon!
For my actor friends, and anyone else that likes a good story about how and why certain actresses get cast, check out this article from Backstage. The first story is about Julia Roberts' start in Hollywood and then there are three more stories from casting directors about why they cast a certain actress. It is interesting to hear the reasons or the struggles it took to cast certain people. How one actress had been on their radar for almost two years before they found the right role for them. Or how one casting director wasn't in the room for when the actress he had been hoping to find a part for finally got cast by his office. Just hearing from the other side the ins and outs of what goes into the process of casting is always interesting to me. Enjoy!
