Casting Director Workshop

Post-Thanksgiving has been great.  I’ve been in a cold reading class for a while now and it’s always a great feeling to go to class, work on my craft and learn something – - Annie Grindlay is the best teacher in the world, AND she is super cool.  She is a professional who is a “real” person.  She’s not always trying to sell something and she is genuine, which is unique in this industry. 

Also, I have decided to enroll in a casting director workshop with Act Now.  I auditioned for them a couple of months ago and then was assigned a consultant, Helon.  She helps me navigate my way through all of the possible workshops.  For instance, I am a member of Aftra so I am going to a workshop with a casting director who books primarily Aftra shows.  It’ll be good to see how well my training has prepared me. 

I hope to use this next month as a time of preparation and goal setting for the coming year.  I just did a mailing in hopes of securing a more aggressive theatrical agent so keep your fingers crossed.  It would be nice to have a relationship with an agent where the ultimate goal is to work together to achieve success for both of us.  Here’s to hoping.  xo
