(T.O) My New Year’s Resolution for 2011
#1 Stop being a LAZY ACTOR!
After graduating from Theatre school over 3 yrs ago, I’ve been working steadily in my field. Whether it was workshopping a play, doing a fringe/summerworks show, teaching workshops or touring, I was working. I am very grateful for that, believe me I am. I’ve been able to survive in this industry and pay my bills with the help of a Joe job of course. I know a lot of people who graduate theatre school and end up switching fields, because it was hard to make a living or they couldn’t find work.So your probably thinking “how are you being lazy, if you’ve been working?” Well, I’ve been working steadily for 3yrs with the same theatre company. I don’t have an agent. I haven’t submitted myself for other work, with other theatre companies. I’ve been sitting in a place of comfort for a while now and I’m at the point in my life/career where I want more! I need a change. I need to get an agent. I need to get my face out there. With the encouragement of the people around me, I have decided to make that change. To leave the known and venture out into the unknown.Things to do:1) Get an agent! For the new year I will be submitting a package to every single reputable agent I can think of or find2) I need to find new monologues for my repertoire and submit myself to as much general auditions as I can.3) If I can afford it, get new headshots4) I need to get more on camera experience, which means classes5) Read more plays2011 IS MY YEAR!!! I CAN FEEL IT!I’ll keep you guys updated.Tash♥ xo*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected*
