Well it’s been a little while since I have done a little update. Apologies for that :o) However the up-side of it all I guess gives me PLLEEENNTTYY to harp on about.
Photoshoots photoshoots photoshoots…yep 3 infact! I now have brand spankin new headshots (thanks to PVB Photography) and dance shots (thanks to Kellie Renee Photography) for my yet to come website and promotional material for 2012. Very exciting! What do you think ---> My acting coach Aash Aaron is a star, having given me a complete US dialect refresher over March so I can be prepared and ready to nail that US audition…when it comes along. I recommend Bruce Shapiro’s book “Speaking American” as the best US dialect-training book for Australian actors. Absolute GOLD.
I shot a short film that I was cast in as a “Ballet Teacher” – ironic huh…do you think I was type-cast perhaps?! HAHA. Was a fun shoot, student, long, ahh, but hey you get that! Discovered that there was a New York Film Academy now on the Gold Coast! I did stacks of independent (PAID) films for the New York Film Academy when I lived in LA. Student films that are PAID? HUH really you may ask? Film students in LA generally have a bit of $$$ and their student films quite regularly have nice budgets due to nice parents haha.
TV PRO GLOBAL is a name you may have stumbled across before…or not. It is a TV Presenting and Hosting program that offers courses to professional TV Hosts in the business across Australia. I flew to Sydney the other week to attend their two-day intense workshop with other industry know-it-alls. It was such an eye-opener and confirmation in my heart of what I really should be and WILL BE pursuing over the next few months. I’m pretty sure TV Hosting is my niche that I know I will do well in if I get my butt into line and complete my reel. That is the next thing on the agenda for April…. Lets do it!!!
And one final thing that I can think of for the month of April was and has been my probable highlight for this year so far… “The Cadbury Bunny Show”. I had the privilege of being cast in the Cadbury show as the HOST – Alice. It was a show performed at a shopping centre in Brisbane leading up to Easter. 25 minute all singing, dancing and acting show with the one and only Cadbury Bunny. Completely for kids and families and gee, was an absolute HOOT! Loved every minute of it. The whole kids show thing was a complete new experience for me but hey, it will look good on the REEL haha. Our Easter Production @ www.generation.org was OFF THE CHARTS! Think flowing angels, paparazzis, rigging and Jesus flying up onto a giant L.E.D cross...whilst having the wires tangled and unfortunately spinning wildly out of control...but we disregard that part! HA such an amazing weekend, lives were changed...forever.
Happy Easter all my devoted friends and family, hope you all had a great one and stayed safe and ate plenty of chocolate. Now time to hit the G.Y.M for mwah!
Much Love <3
