Resource (for my acting buddies)

This weekend did not involve the painting that I had so loftily promised pictures of on Friday.  Instead there was a lazy Saturday and a casting workshop yesterday morning followed by football.  At least, football was on in the background (thanks, hubby!) and I found out that Pizza Hut is one of the sponsors of the NFL this year, as is Southwest.  Holla!  I saw my Pizza Hut spot air but not sure if my Southwest has started airing again.  It would be pretty sweet if they were both running on Football Sundays...any sightings?  Or were you all refilling your wing plates during commercial breaks?  Or switching channels during the break to see how your fantasy football players were doing?  Or were you not watching football?  According to my facebook feed, there are a lot of football fanatics out there....so I doubt that last possibility is true.  Go Team!

In other news, for my acting friends who read this blog, I was emailed a link to this article, Back to Basics, from Back Stage that I thought I'd share.  They talked to the casting directors of some of the new fall shows and asked them what they'll be looking for during sessions.  It is a really good guide with insight to what they want in the room and also what they want in the mail - in case you're thinking of sending in your stuff.  Some offices don't look at unsolicited actor submissions, some welcome postcards, etc - you get the idea.  Definitely worth a read through and a bookmark for future auditions this season.
