The year of the anna

Hi everyone, I’m way behind on the Anna news. I booked a commercial in September for Seattle Bank! It’s the first through my wonderful agent. I got him a Starbucks gift card for Christmas. I hope you remembered to send your reps a Christmas card and small gift. This year I need to book some […]

Marching On

Hi everyone, It’s officially my birth month and it’s still quarantine! I have not been able to get that vaccine yet, but I was tested twice to be an extra on a SAG set last week for a new TV series. (I have two vouchers and you need three to be SAG-eligible.) I officially don’t […]

Holidaze

Hi everyone, I just spent half my November in Arizona with my parents and I got a bit behind. I finished my follow-ups with the theatrical agents and managers on my list and I received some responses. I received at least 4 or 5 responses from managers that said they don’t have room on the […]

There Will Be Changes

Hi everyone, How are you holding up? I really can’t wait for this pandemic to end. I’ve done some more self-tapes and I’m getting the hang of things. I’ve been using my computer to tape myself and then tidying it up in iMovie. And my tripod are the plastic storage tubs that double as shelves […]

Days Of Auditions Past

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all staying healthy, wearing your masks, and keeping up that social distancing. As an introvert who often has to take breaks from dealing with people, it’s not so hard for me to keep my social distance, but it gets lonely after a while. I don’t get to hug anyone! Except […]

From the Anna Archives

Hi all, I’m participating in the Bramon Garcia Braun 10 Day Actor’s Challenge for Letting Go and part of the challenge is to do an acting exercise each day and after making a self-tape for a comedy pilot (I just might book that!), I decided that my acting task for the day was to look […]

Why SAG-AFTRA Is So Awesome

Here is a wonderful response I received from SAG-AFTRA about my query about Non-Union performers being hired for Union projects: Hello Anna, Thank you for your email. We do not have restrictions on non-union performers auditioning for union projects but certain projects do prefer to only hire union performers. This is a personal preference for […]

Christmas Palm Trees

Hi All, I’m really making large gaps with these posts. I hope your holiday season is starting out merry. I’m singing in a Christmas concert with my church choir. Here is the event page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/582314988874089/ It’s this Saturday, December 15, at 2pm at St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Venice, CA. Then I’m off […]

Zip On Your Alligator Skin

Hi all, Happy Mother’s Day! I made sure to call my Mom today because I love her so much. We’ve really become friends as well as mother and daughter. Today’s blog title comes from one of the panels that I attended at the Film in California Conference two weekends ago. The event was held at […]

Anna In Charge

Hi all, Well, that was a long gap in posts. How are you all doing? It’s Spring Break but I haven’t slowed down at all. It’s crazy that when I’m vacation from the day job, I still have so much to do. I just auditioned for the relaunched Reprise Theatre cast by Michael Donovan Casting. […]
