The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Stage

Uhh, so remember when I didn't have anything to do?

Yeah, that's kinda changed.

It seems like things are culminating to a point and soon I'm going to have to make decisions on what I'll be staying with and who I'll have to say good bye to, if only for a little while.

Things I have completed in the past week include the filming of the Full Sail student film I was in, which was hysterical, including the fact that I had to continuously eat these horrible cupcakes throughout shooting. It was a character choice the directors and I thought would really add to the character. Which as a side note, I'm finding more and more in film, they are open to improv and letting things just happen and let the camera roll. Just an FYI to the film actor novices (which I still consider myself). I also filmed a little scene, I'm talking minuscule, in this independent rom com movie. I was also out at the Orlando Shakes Sonnet-a-Thon on the 12th. It was just a fun little way to get involved in the arts community.

Audition wise, I went out and showed the people at Theatreworks Florida my stuff for The Great American Trailer Park Musical and got a callback. And I must say, it was the most fun I've ever had at a callback. When you are surrounded by such amazing talent, and everyone is just letting loose, it's so nice. However, there were only four guys called back (me included) so it was definitely down to the nitty gritty, and is a little fretting knowing you are so close. Also I have the big Hoop Dee Doo Revue audition coming up for Disney. Enough said. Plus the Orlando Shakes Playfest auditions are on Sunday and Monday and I'm going to walk my self on over there (especially if Phillip Seymour Hoffman is going to be involved.) And I have an appointment time to go and audition for the Arabian Night Adventures Dinner Theatre on Saturday, so we will see how that goes.

Upcoming gig wise is getting a little tied up. I should have a normal job soon with CVS (i know, gasp!) as an overnight supervisor. I was just offered a job at the Nick Hotel as one of their "Splat Pack" improv actors. And, if you all can remember back to the Joseph auditions with the "high-note incident", I was asked to join the cast as the Baker. And, I'm still in rehearsals for that one indie film project. So my brain is a little frazzled on how to make everything happen, make a decent paycheck, and get people to recognize me. And of course, everyday is an almost, maybe, possibility, constantly changing schedule where one day you are doing nothing, and the next your booked.

NOW, do not take this as me complaining about work, because I know how fortunate I am to get these offers. However, I am complaining about having to make decisions. Why can't everything just fall into place?! And of course, the next offer is always more tempting and more of what I want to do. And I just want to do everything! Why can't this be EASIER!!? (okay, crazed, whining over.)

That's it...I think. I'd have to look at my planner to make sure, but I'm pretty sure. Alrighty, thank you again my readers and followers for all your constant support and comments! I look forward to what more you have to say!

TypeCast wants to know: Was there ever something you had to do in a show that you personally did not like doing (i.e. me eating horrible cupcakes all day), but that your character loved, or enjoyed, doing?
