I had my first theater audition in LA on Friday. It went very well I think, but my scheduling issues may have been too much for them to deal with. We're going back to Atlanta for my brother's wedding at the beginning of October. Football season is underway once again. My university has a great alumni club out here that gets together to watch the games at a local bar. It's so much fun to watch in a group of fans...almost like being at the game...sort of...in a small way...with beer service.

My September acting class at Lesly Kahn & Co. is great. It is really energizing to focus on work in class and to rehearse outside class as much as we do. I look forward to putting what I've learned to work for me on audition material.

Another agency called and wants to see some of my work, so I have to put what I have on tape and let them know I'm still tracking down copies. Getting tape can be difficult. It seems that I have to really hound people to get a copy of the material I've performed for them. In one example, it took me a full two years of requests and broken promises to finally get a copy of a 30 second commercial. When I finally received it, the person who sent it was kind enough to include a bill. I have no problem reimbursing expenses, but if I'm going to pay a service fee, I'd appreciate a little more service. There are some exceptions of course. Most of the small indie films and many of the commerical/industrial folks have been very responsive. I'm continuing to try to assemble as much of my commercial material as possible to complete my reel, but it's tough. Tomorrow, I'm checking in on the AAMCO spot to see if that's available.
