I have no excuse for being such a bad blogger, other than minutae. I get sucked into the vortex of everyday living: I sit in traffic for what feels like an interminable amount of time (can anyone say 14 miles in an hour and forty minutes?), work at a lame job, tutor a little bit, and teach a few modeling classes. In between I go to an audition or two. The audition situation here simply does not work the same way. You cover a lot more ground with an agent, the end. And what do I not have? An agent.
About three weeks ago I sent out an agency mailer, which is just your heashot and resume, in the hopes of getting some bites on representation. And on Friday last, just as I was about to pull in my lure, I got two agency interviews. Hooray! One for theatrical at a really great (although big) agency, the other for commercial representation. That is pretty exciting news. Joey has been going out like crazy for auditions, and I've been playing the piano more helping him learn all these new songs. Needless to say, I was starting to get a little antsy. So, I'm really grateful to have the opportunity to audition for them and just ask for the best possible outcome.
I'm having a difficult time finding a job that I don't completely despise. Here's the job line-up (for those of you keeping count): Monday-Friday at a work at a place as a tutor recruiter, calling people who have submitted resumes on job search sites on the internet. This may change however, as they recently offered me a promotion covering for a girl who is in Paris for a month. I work there approximately 30 hours a week, but seriously, nobody knows what's going on over there. I'm a temp in a temp position. I literally come and go as I please. The next job is every other Sunday, teaching in Santa Maria for a modeling agency. The pay is good, and they pay for all of my transportation, my room, plus food. I am not sure however, if this one will last, because she asked for a long-term commitment, and if I book a show, I'm outty! Last but not least, I have a couple of students that I am tutoring for the verbal section of the SAT. That's only 3 hours a week right now, but it could be more, depending on how many students I get.
Whew! Everyone get that? Someone quick, tell me where I work Monday through Friday!
