Stumble it!Long Time.. No post..
Well, I am a bad blogger! It has been almost a month since my last post. I guess the reason I have not been posting is that I have been kind of bummed out about not getting that Ashecliff role. I did not pay attention to my own advice — Fire and Forget! I am over it now and ready to move on. The fact that I just had another audition yesterday has put me in a better mood. The audition was for a movie called “This Side of Truth” that was written by “Extras” star Ricky Gervais. He will also be directing and starring in this movie as well. Wish me luck! So the bad news is I have had 2 other auditions this year and have not received any parts. The goods news is that I have had 3 auditions in 3 months! That is pretty amazing for this town. Last year I only had 3 auditions all year –and I got two out of three. These auditions I speak of are for big films. It is easy to find auditions for the low budget indie films. By the way if you want to know how to find auditions for low budget films in the Boston area, email me and I can set you up. Big budget auditions is a whole other story, very hard to get.
‘Tis all for now!
Hey, Don…I’ve been wondering what happened to you. See…there are people out here looking in…even other actors like me.
We’ve all been in the same place and, if we keep at the acting game, we will return to the place of disappointment over and over. It is inevitable. But, like you, we’ll pick up and move on.
I understand what you mean about making every audition count. I am in the same boat. Take heart and know that character guys can have very long careers.
Only 3 auditions in a YEAR? Any possibility of relocating to a slightly busier area?
Best of luck.
Tommy

Tommy - I am hoping this area becomes busier. So far that seems to be the case. If not then yes I will have to move. I love Boston though, so I am hoping I wont have to.
Peanut80 - Thanks!

Don,
I hear you about not moving. I left Texas for 15 years and it was good to get back home.
Check out the Quarterlife.com site. I think you might like it.
