Rain In LA
Over the past month, the weather in Los Angeles has been unpredictable and weird. The city of LA was not built to sustain any type of weather, other than 80 degrees and sunny, which is odd considering that we do have quite a rainy season here when we are not in a horrific draught. …
Something that I am asked about pretty frequently is if Twitter is important for an actor. I have done blog posts on social media as a whole before, but never one medium in specific, so I thought it would be best to address Twitter first and foremost in this newest post. It is an interesting …
SAG/AFTRA Information
Recently I discovered that I had not been SAG/AFTRA for quite some time and had to renew my membership. I found this out because I booked a job in November (woohoo!) and got a letter from SAG saying that they were going to excuse my lack of a membership this one time, but if I …
Sharing Your Work
Recently I was having a conversation with a friend wherein she mentioned that she had been doing some writing. I was immediately so excited for her, because I write too and absolutely love it, and inquired all about the classes she is taking. When she told me about her classes she had forgotten to say …

Pilot Class
This weekend I went to another writing class. I received notes on my work and gave notes, and throughout the entire class all I could think about was opinions and how they can influence a person. When everyone gave me their notes there were different opinions on everything, and some of the opinions were …
Auditions
“Auditioning is an opportunity to practice,” is one of my favorite quotes about auditions said by David Walton in an interview for Backstage in 2014. I love this quote because I find a sense of comfort in it. When I go into the audition room, I always like to take a minute and really …
Applying Yourself
