TYA

Had my first seminar at Actor's Connection last night. It was with TheatreWork's CD Robin Carus who was SO congenial, funny and personable. Just really and honest and I loved hearing her perspective on the casting process and why she likes being a CD.

Then we had some one on ones and I sang a new song. Worked out really well and the accompanist had no probs with it.

Feedback from her was very positive. She actually remembered who I was from my first audition with her in February when I first got into the city. She told me I have the vocal skills, acting chops and presence and that she thought I was a nice guy. I would probably get sick of being called in over and over again but that it was about matching up the right type and look.

Ah...damn my ethnic non-ethnicity (keeps people guessing where I am really from) and my weight which I am STILL in the process of losing. The last 20 are proving to be right bastards. Of course, it probably does not help that I went on a binge the last three weeks and ate things I should not have been eating.

Rough month.

I have an audition in a couple of week for another TheatreWorks show and am hoping third time is indeed the charm. I would be ever so grateful to the universe to get this show, which would ultimately mean getting my card. Plus, something about travelling the country in a van with a few people and getting kids infected with the acting bug is really appealing to me.

Here's hoping...
