so it has been about a month since my last blog and God has been doing exceedingly, abundantly above ALI could ask or think.  He has been guiding and ordering my steps.  I have booked a job on a major Print  Shoot and even took an Intensive with Amy Gossels Casting.  I must admit, that the industry is evolving almost faster than I can keep up.  We did a few on- camera shoots for commercials and I learned that directors are no longer looking for the tee-thy shots and spokesperson characters.  They want a more intimate, personable Actor who can engage an audience to trust what they are saying.  Not to "sell" products, but to own the words, make them your own as if YOU were saying them for the first time!  I learned that you must " NAIL IT" n the 1st take and seduce them with your first line.  Commercials are challenging because you don't get to memorize, take the script/copy/sides home and build a character.  you get minutes to imagine a back-story, commit to it yet, be open to direction.  I think I will love the commercial industry.  I am going to be taking more intensives and classes with AGC.  I also became a member of The Agency Online and love their easy site.   There are detours, pitfalls, sometimes avalanches through out this journey but I am determined to weather each storm and persevere over every hurdle.   I just completed my first sketch comedy reel which is posted here and It is hilarious.  I have many original characters in my head just waiting to jump out.  Stay tuned and see who shows up next.  The journey is just beginning, stay tuned........
