Updates! Updates!
This past Monday I was in Ashland, Oregon, auditioning for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which I have been looking forward to. Ran into a few familiar faces in the waiting room, and had a great audition. They can always be better, but as far as choosing the right pieces, I think I did. More importantly, I really enjoy my pieces. The two directors in the room were very responsive, chatted with me a bit after I finished, asked me some questions regarding my Equity status…and I got a “Nicely done, Morgan. Very nicely done.” I’ll take that. Judging from the appointment list, they had quite a few people to see. All I can do is be happy with the work I did and the response I got, and wait and see.
BendFilm (where I am currently interning) is shooting a new ad campaign to promote the Festival, which happens in mid October, and I was lucky enough to be one of the models for the poster! They are doing outlines, so you will not be able to tell it is me, specifically, unless you know me, but they are going to look quite cool and I can’t wait to post a picture of the final product. The commercial shoot was postponed and is currently tba. Check back in a week or so for details on that one.
Last, but most certainly not least, mailings. I am now ready to start organizing my materials and getting these mailings sent out to LA. Lots of people don’t invest in the mailings, but for me, I have had some good results…ie; actual agency interviews/interest. Let’s hope a few agencies like the pics and give me a call. Hey, gotta put time into this stuff, right? Right.
