Standing Out
When you look around your audition waiting room you may or may not be shocked to find that there are quite a few people there who look just like you. Same hair style, skin color, height, age, weight. It can seem like you are the same as anyone else there from your perspective. And …
Theatrical Auditions
I have gotten quite a few auditions for stage plays lately from my agents. Strange, I know, as I live in Los Angles and this is the city for TV and Film, but I take what I get! I did a lot of theatre during my years in school so I expected that they …
