A View to the Top

Hi all, I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Now the season of shopping is upon us. As a starving artist, my family and friends will mostly be getting Christmas cards. I had a bit of breakthrough this past month. I was cast as a paid extra in a commercial for three days through my […]

Prize Winner

Hi all, I’m glad to see I had 27 views yesterday. I would love to have 100 or more views per day. I know of a local PR firm that aggressively markets their talent. I’d like to try that, but I’m not sure about the price or if it’s worth it in a smaller market. […]

Winners Circle

Hi all, I am squeezing this post in so there’s one for September. My precious doggy, Thor, had to be put to sleep and I am really sad. He was the smartest, cutest, most cuddly poodle ever. I’ve been getting a great deal of things done acting-wise. I have new headshots that you […]

Anna On-Set

Hi all, The heat is terrible here with 100+ degree temperatures that won’t stop until October. Of course, I’ve been auditioning for productions and at long last I was cast in the film, Anti produced by Flush Films. I filmed my scene yesterday. I played a crazy homeless woman bothering a rude businessman. They made […]

Anna Superstar

Hi all, Happy May! How could the year have gone so fast? I had two auditions back to back this past Saturday and it was awesome. I auditioned for Arizona Broadway Theatre and they were wonderful. They have a huge performance complex and are highly professional. I then auditioned for a paying PSA directed by […]

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 […]

Lucky Star

Hi all, How was your Valentine’s? I went out to dinner at the Havana Cafe in Phoenix with my parents and grandpa. I went there last year when my grandma died because I was feeling devestated and lost. I don’t have a significant other and never have. This makes me really bitter and Christian Mingle […]

When Time Permits

Hi all, I wanted to get in one last January post. I have gotten myself a bit busy now that my student teaching assignment has begun. It’s a 40 minute drive and I have to be there at 7am every day. That and the assignment includes gradually taking over 4 classes, which scares the life […]

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 […]
