Making Progress

Hi all, Here’s the news from the Anna-sphere: last Saturday I had my audition for Phoenix Theatre and I really made an effort to take my time and show my personality. I always get nervous and the nerves still get in the way a bit. I worked on my material a great deal, but I […]

Easter Parade

Hi all, I hope you had a nice Easter. I went to Easter Vigil mass, which lasted three hours because they baptized and confirmed an insane amount of people. I felt really holy afterwards. I went to Easter brunch at the St. Francis restaurant and had chile pork verde. Season general auditions for Phoenix Theatre […]

Happy Birthday to Me!

Hi all, Today is my birthday, March 10. It’s also my grandpa’s birthday. I was his birthday present. Today, I went out to afternoon tea with my awesome friend. We had such a good time. Last night, I had dinner with my cousin and his wife at Modern Steak in Scottsdale. The food was so […]

Happy New Acting Year!

Hi all, Happy New Year! It’s about 11 days after the fact, but there it is. In the Backstage Espresso Newsletter I receive, there are many columns and articles to assist actors. One article they had for the new year was making intentions as opposed to resolutions. I suppose the thinking here is to establish […]

The Closing of the Year

Hi all, A Merry Christmas and HappyNew Year to everyone! There are actually twelve days of Christmas ending with the Epiphany on January 6.

Learn to Do It

Hi all, Today’s blog title comes from the Don Bluth animated film, Anastasia. By the way, Mr. Bluth now lives in Arizona and runs a community theatre. They pay a stipend so I might one day audition for them, but I’m not sure as I don’t want to do community theatre anymore. Anyhow, I have […]

One Night Only

Hi all, I auditioned for a voice-over project for a care center last week and this week at last auditioned for the Hale Center production of a Christmas Carol. I haven’t heard anything yet so I’ll keep you posted. I also don’t have any further news yet about the SAG short. I’ve been thinking about […]

What’s My Motivation?

Hi all, I have heard industry people say that they absolutely hate hearing actors ask what their motivation is. Saying this proves that you’re lazy and unimaginative, but I thought it was funny for a blog post title. I’m trying to find the constant motivation despite being constantly tired and busy with unrelated stuff. Some […]
