I want to start off by saying HAPPY 8-MONTH-A-VERSARY LOS ANGELES!!! That in itself is an accomplishment. When I think of where I was when I first got here and where I am now, I have to be pretty darn pleased with myself :) I'm proud that I can afford to live on my own, have wonderful adopted pets that complete my life, and take action every day that brings me closer to where I want to be in my career.
Speaking of, I am faaaaar too excited to keep quiet about the AMAZING people I will be working with this month!
I just started my Sam Christensen workshop and the guy is nothing short of genius - not to mention such a pleasure to work with! I am so glad to be joining that family! I've met a great group of people in that class. I will also be workshopping this month with Dean Fronk (great film CD) who has more projects in the works that I can even name on two hands. He stays real busy and I am thankful that I will finally get to introduce myself to him! I am begining a workshop intensive with Michael Donovan (theatre, commercial, film, and tv CD) who does it all - my kinda guy! Now these next two, I kiiiiiiiiiiiiinda died when I got into their classes because they fill up faster than anything I've ever seen!!! First is *drum roll* Eric Souliere!!!! If you don't know him, you should http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1394982/ Just sayin ;-) And the second intensive I'll be starting in March will be with the undeniably awesome Allen Hooper who does casting for Modern Family!!!
Needless to say, I am ecstatic!!! I realize how much I sacrifice and give up in order to do what I do, but in 8 months that I've been in LA, to be where I am right now, in my career as well as my life in general - I can't complain. It's worth not going out partying every weekend or even having a boyfriend! That's right! If that's all I needed to be happy, I would have stayed in Florida. But the truth is, I couldn't do this all by myself. No. I have an AMAZING support system, of those that are striving to build their careers as I am as well as non-actor folk. I've met quite the bunch while in Los Angeles, and I am so very blessed to have each and every one of them in my life. Instead of a crazy night out (which we do allow on occassion lol), we prefer tea/lunch dates, ice cream runs, walks in local neighborhoods, or pizza and wine nights in! We share our stories, our victories as well as the auditions that may not have gone our way, but at the end of the day we all wouldn't have it any other way.
So here's to a beautiful 8 months LA! Thanks for all the life lessons, the struggles, the victories, but most of all the amazing friendships and opportunities that continuously show me I'm exactly where I need to be!
"Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve!"
Come follow me as I stumble my way through the greater Los Angeles area. One Girl. One Dream. Let's see how well this south Florida native fares.
