workshopping

I had a fantastic workshop with Marlise Guzenhauser, a casting associate for Dorian Frankel. Marlise is so cheerful and confident, she makes everyone feel comfortable, which I really appreciated.

My takeaways: respect the comedy writer – sometimes a line is more funny if delivered as normally as possible, if you make a mistake it’s fine to just take a moment to collect yourself and then go on instead of trying to hide a fumble, and finally, trust that your scene partner will deliver.

Ambassador of the A.M.

Had a great day giving out Bel Vita samples. Oh the things I do to support my film and acting career.

Nice thing about this gig was being part of Jane Lynch’s Bel Vita commercial. She is one busy lady. I was very impressed with how upbeat she was when interacting with everyone even though she had a full schedule of photo shoots, motivational speeches, Access Hollywood spots, and interviews with the press… all crammed into one day and done with a constant, genuine smile on her face. Go Jane!

Not a Clueless Tourist

Everyone once in awhile I experience those “only in Hollywood” moments. Like when I did an impression of Honey Boo Boo for an improv show, and then, the very next day I managed to bump into Alana and June “Mama” Shannon ambling down the Walk of Fame for their Dr. Drew segment.

Or the week I got sucked into the High School Musical mania that I had somehow missed when the movies were actually in theaters (I had instead discovered this delightful trilogy on Netflix) … the very next day after I finished watching HSM3 Senior Year, I ended up sitting across from Lucas Grabeel, watching him get his make up done. So weird. Only in Hollywood.
