Home.
I am officially settled in Los Angeles! Los Feliz, to be specific. A tiny, but lovely apartment. It’s clean. It’s cute. Close to the freeway. It has a full kitchen and a pretty view outside my window, which is quite large…another plus! I must admit, looking for an apartment was brutal. I just wasn’t seeing anything I would actually want to come home to, or felt was acceptable to be paying the prices people were asking. But eventually I realized people were willing to negotiate prices, and they really just wanted leases signed, since the economy is so crazy, apartments are empty! I eventually found a great deal, with the lowest move-in costs I have ever experienced and things are good.
Last week I auditioned for “The Miracle Worker,” at The Hayworth Theater, for the role of Annie Sullivan. The audition was a great experience, I got to read a few times, use my fabulous Irish accent, and to be honest, pretty much thought I was perfect for the role. I left feeling pretty good, which is what keeps me going these days. I also submitted myself for a ton of film/television/print work and heard back from a few projects, one of which was a student film, being submitted to an Apple.com short film contest. I auditioned for the lead female, a somewhat bitchy, extremely sarcastic character (my favorite), and got cast! I was pretty excited, however the shoot was postponed. So, I am waiting to hear about the new schedule for that one. I have an audition next week for a film shooting up at Big Bear, which would be cool, so I will keep you posted on that one. And last, but not at all least, I sent off a mailing to about twelve agencies. Until next time…
