Pow-Wow

It's been almost ONE WHOLE MONTH since I've last posted and that's just . . . not ok right? I mean right??

Ok so let's have a catch up Pow-Wow yeah?? Yeah!

First of all . . . how are YOU doing? I hope you are well and thriving and happy =) Everything has been pretty great on my end.

Remember a couple of months ago when I said I was working on a SURPRISE?!? Welllll . . . I'm still working on it . . . but it's almost done which is super exciting! The launch date is just around the river-bend and I'll be sure that YOU'RE the first to know!

NEXT! I'm obnoxiously excited for an audition I have on Friday for General Hospital. I have this secret fantasy of wanting to play a Mafia Princess. I'm. Not. Kidding. It's probably because I'm part Russian AND Italian. I mean . . . that only makes sense right?? Anyhoo, that's what I'm playing on Friday! What?!? The role is GINA SOLEITA and she is the only daughter of a NY crime boss. I'm. So. Down. 

So, that's been my life for the past couple of weeks. I'll keep you guys posted as things develop! AND I will NOT go a month without posting again. Jeeeeeez Lilah. 

Nellie & Anna

Hayyy Frannss! Happy Sunday!

I taped this audition last Wednesday and I'm just NOW putting it up. What?! I know. Not okay. Anyhoo, like I said, I had to put this audition on tape because the director is out of town until August SO he wanted all of the initial auditions to be on tape . . . to save time assuming. Quite smart if you ask me. 

Its an Indie Drama about two sisters who's mother is a heroin addict and their step father abuses them. I play the older sister Nellie. I'm very protective and have developed a bit of a edge because of the trauma I've been through in my life thus far. 

This scene however is a lighter scene between the two sisters. We're just chatting about dreaming about flying. Two things you'll need to know for the scene: 1.) Venice, CA is where the girls grew up before their dad passed away. Its a symbol of happy carefree times.  2.) Bernie is Anna's (the little sister) ratty stuffed bear.

Enjoyyyy!

Summertime ~

SO! (I feel like I start A LOT of my posts with "SO!" . . . . . I do huh? . . . ) It's Summertime . . . and the livin' is easyyyyy . . . and a little less busy!

Summer is typically a slow period for the industry. I mean actors, producers, directors, casting directors etc. need a rest at some point right? THIS means I get to do more of one thing that I actually really love! What's is that? Well I'm sooooo glad you asked! I get to do more Casting Director Workshops!

Once of my favorite places to do them is at The Actor's Key in Burbank. I basically sign up to see a specific Casting Director, pick my scene and perform it for them audition style. We get feedback and everything!

I did a workshop this past weekend with Ani Avetyan who was a doll! She is so unbelievably inspirational and really . . . I mean REALLY cares about actors. LOVED it!

I'm also doing another this Saturday with Scott David. I've been trying to get in to see him for MONTHS but that guy is POP-U-LAR! All of his workshops are always filled! So excited I FINALLY get to meet him.

Summer has been extremely enjoyable so far . . . and NOT just because I've been anticipating my birthday *whispers* which by the way is in 12 days (<----shameless plug. I've been doing it to my friends for the past 3 months. They're ready to kill me.) . It's just nice to get a chance to take a couple of breaths, recharge and get ready for a busy episodic season.

Stay Tuned! Happy *Summer* ~

21 and Over

Wooo! More Auditionsss! 

This one I especially loved! Its a project called 21 and Over and its from the writers of The Hangover. Think . . . The Hangover . . . College Edition. Intrigued much?? This film is going to be hilarious!

My character's name is Nicole.  She's a bohemian, free spirit, IMPOSSIBLY cool chick that captures the heart of one of the male leads.

In the first scene she's meeting Casey (her soon to be love) at a bar and of course flirty banter ensues. 

In the second scene Nicole runs into Casey again but this time at a hospital. Much to her surprise she spots Casey naked except for a strategically placed sock (I told you it was Hangover College Edition) furiously putting on a pair of scrubs. 

Hope you love it!

Oh and P.S. A round of applause for the extreamly awkward still shot of my face!! ;-)

Instant Callbacks are Awesome!

I got a callback for The Finder! I literally heard within an hour of sending the tape to my reps! AND I get to go to the Fox Studio Lot for the first time. Can you say . . . YESSSSSS!!

What an amazing way to start off the week right?!

The Finder

I gots some new goods for ya! 

This is an audition that I just put on tape for a new TV Show called The Finder. Its the spin off of the series Bones so its got that quirky (<--is that how you spell that?) charm that we all know and love!

I play a girl named Willa who is, in a nutshell, a 17 year old badass! She was raised in a family of criminals and is PRO at conning people. Niiiiiice.

Ok so this first scene takes place in the bar where she works at and she is bantering back and fourth with Leo (played by Michael Clark Duncan). 

The second scene she is sitting with Walter (played by Geoff Stults) and he's basically testing her to see how good her intuition is when picking out potential crime suspects.

Hope you loveeeeee it!

Surprise you say??!

Welllll I had lil scheduled photo shoot today for a . . . SURPRISE that I'm working on! YES! That's right! A surrrrprise! I can't give you all the deets right now (because, you know, its a surprise) BUT since you guys are such loyal readers and friends I will give you a sneak peak of some of the pics =)

Enjoy!
