Chill

The weather has been very "Fall-like" here -- overcast, rainy...I actually like it. It's a nice change. I'm still helping out in the manager's offices and at Ronnie Yeskel's casting office. They're currently casting "Threshold" and a new series incarnation of "Blade". I've been in several casting sessions running the camera. Here's a piece of advice for auditioners everywhere: Don't just suddenly launch into the scene. Check and see if the camera person and your reader are ready to go, and then take a moment for yourself and everyone else in the room so we all know it's showtime. It really is fascinating to watch a day of auditions. I can tell you that a good audition, even if it doesn't go any further for you on that particular project, will endear you to casting directors. They take notes. They'll bring you in for something else.

Class is going ok this month. Unfortunately, I can't participate in the joint Nov-Dec session because of the holidays, trips home, buying plane tickets, etc. My commercial agents picked out a couple of additional headshots they want to use online, so I ran a couple of errands today to get proofs of those printed up. The folks at Argentum are nice and seem to do quality work. I'll see Friday when I go see the 8x10's. I'll probably only get one of them mass produced as a more theatrical shot to counter balance the commercial ones I already have. Once this supply is exhausted, I'll make the commercial switch to the other one the agents like. There's always plenty to do. I've been making independent submissions to CD's and will begin focusing on adding a manager or theatrical rep to the team now.
