Another Amazing Day!
Today, I filmed "Frozen Styph." I started out as an extra with an improv part thrown in. I ended up getting a regular role and was offered a part in the corresponding play.

Many of the extras took off without a goodbye to the director. Because I stayed, I was offered opportunities they were not. I think just not only showing up but also staying the course is important. These actors felt that they needed to get out of there and would not be chosen to be something else. But the director told me afterward that he did have parts in mind for them. So you never know.

After five hours of that, which included not only my impromptu character but also my small role, I went to meet with the directors and choreographer of "Beware the Eyes of Mars." I went through reading various characters with different dialects. They loved it and said they would see me at the first cast meeting on Tuesday. They still aren't positive which character(s) I will play.

The choreographer said I was an actor first, then a singer, then a dancer, which surprised me because I don't think of myself as a singer but then again, I created it. I decided I was going to do a decent job at the singing and worked at it. That being said, I know I could have done better. I did my vocal warmups on the way there in the car but i had been acting all day so my throat was a little rough.

Anyway, I had a fabulous day. The first shoot was a little long and many of the actors did not know their lines, which made it a bit tedious. They even gave one guy a cue card on a dry-erase board. It was almost ridiculous. But I just told myself I had committed to this time to be there and I was going to have fun no matter what. And I did.
