Working My Tail Off...

Hello TypeCasters!

I'm sorry for being away for so long! The past week was a doozy! Or is that doozey? Anyway, it was busy! Since you last heard from me, I've been acting my slowly diminishing butt off (gosh, I love the gym.) Sorry, sidetracked.

Monday was filled with traveling as I went to Tampa to do some background work for a commercial about an herbal supplement for women. Now before the jokes start, I was in the background, being all business-y, as the very happy women walked the streets of "New York." Actually, the location they found did have the look of NY. So I have now filmed my first professional commercial (well, not really, I did one in Gainesville, so first professional commercial in Tampa), and let me tell you if you haven't done commercial work, as talent you will sit...A LOT. So bring a book, your iPod, and a comfy sittin' cushion cuz you gonna be waiting.

Tuesday and Thursday was back to the PSA and it was so much fun. The world of performing is odd as you can be background one day and then principal the next. Thursday was the best as I got to be turned into a classic '80s werewolf (hence the picture!) I was in the chair for two hours having three people paint, glue, latex and stretch my skin. It was pretty awesome. Click on the following link for more pics:

Wednesday I decided to go audition for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the beautiful Garden Theatre, which I found out yesterday, I will be playing the Baker! (It means I get thrown in jail with the attractive, shirtless Joseph. It's like Oz, but with singing.) At the audition, I must say though, I had one of those moments where I went crazy and sang a ridiculous note...twice. I was doing Be Our Guest and just was so into and I was building and building and was getting to the end and was like, "Oh god, here comes the end. Am I going to go up or stay on the same note. Cuz up isn't good every time. Oh here we go."

I went up.

It was okay. I have to ask for confirmation though that no one died.

Then, they had us dance, and the music director arrived and since I couldn't be at callbacks they had me do it again. So I did. And I sang that note. Again. After dancing a lot. Jury is still out on the "okay-ness."

Friday had me at improv which was fun as more and more of our performers were being shunned by fate to not make it to the show, but it happened. We made it by the skin of our elbows.

That's about it! I went to Gainesville this weekend and got to see GCP's Mockingbird (Great!) and then to FAIRE, where I was embarrassed several times in front of large amounts of people, or as I like to call it, publicity. Today, I had a callback for a major independent film, so lets keep our fingers crossed. Also, I'm being seriously considered to be brought onto the entertainment wagon over at the hotel owned by the network that likes to slime people. Can you figure out what I'm talking about? I Double Dare you.

So TypeCast wants to know: what's the coolest costume/make-up you ever had to wear for any sort of performance gig?
