Short and Sweet–like me! (har, har)

February15

Yikes! Haven’t written in a bit, have I? Shame, shame, shame…

Well, let’s hop right into it!

I’ve changed agents to Radical Artists. It was a tough decision. I love the folks at Eden Talent, but the very reason I chose them was the reason I also had to leave! I was with another big agency in town, as well as with Eden. The other agency told me I had to choose. At the time, I wasn’t one of the other agency’s favourites, so I wasn’t going out on auditions a lot. Eden is smaller and more of a boutique agency, and I knew they believed in me. They’re fantastic! I have no complaints! But sometimes you have to make a move for your career that isn’t easy, but is necessary.

I’ve already been on more auditions with them than I did all of last year! I know I made the right decision for this stage in my career. :)

We’re set to film our second webisode of i <3 luc;) this coming Sunday. I’m really looking forward to that! We have a new Ricky–so we’ll consider our first ep as “practice” and put it up sometime later. WE’ve got a great cast, we’re all helping the project, so it’s not down to just one or two people’s responsibility. A huge relief–I can’t tell you how many projects ( film or otherwise) I’ve had to take over. Stressful.

I’ve accepted a role as an 8000-year-old Paladin in EYE OF NOOR. I can’t say a whole lot about it at this point, as I’ve signed an NDA. But I’m practicing with swords and fighting–and hopefully I’ll look great as I kick some vampire arse!

My Oscar party is on the 7th–very much looking forward to that! Although this year I have to come up with TEN dishes named for the Best Pic nominees. Ugh. Five was hard enough, sometimes. Well, at least there won’t be a lack of food and drink. :)

I’m sure I have more to discuss…but I’m trying to keep to a schedule these days–and I’m WAY off today. (Not that this is unusual! But I have to at least pretend to try…)

Toodles!

    Congratulations, some decisions are definitely not easy to make, but it sounds like you made a good one.

Cannon Fodder is my blog about my Calling and the twists and turns on the road to making it into a full-fledged, full-time, bill-paying career! Occasionally, I’ll veer off-subject, but that’s what you get when you read my stream-of-conscious thoughts. ;)

A bit about me:

I know you’re dying to know my life story, so here ’tis : I grew up an Air Force Brat, living and travelling across the world. Though the scenery changed often, my dreams of being a singer and actress never did. You may have been lucky enough to catch me on my very first National Tour – - my family knew I was destined for stardom when I sang to strangers from my bathroom stall at every rest stop between California and Georgia. It was every bit as magical as you imagine. ;)

At the age of 12, I stepped out of the stall to become one of the first members of the Children’s Opera Group in its fledgling seasons with the Orlando Opera Company. I feel so privileged to have also been in productions in England, Belgium, Germany, India, and several U.S. States. These days, I work primarily in film, TV, web, and voiceovers with the help of my agents. Once I’m a Name, I’ll conquer Broadway as well as the film world!

Living a largely nomadic lifestyle throughout my career, I’ve enthusiastically met the challenges of breaking into new markets and production communities wherever I go. Just consider me Bob Dylan’s complete unknown rolling stone. (For now.) Other interests include afternoon naps, travel, dreaming, history, crazy socks, reading, sheepies, writing, swingin’ on stars, time traveling, the rain, and collecting as much useless information as I can in order to win every game of trivia. You can catch me, on rare occasions, re-creating the magic of my first tour – - cities and dates to be announced!

I promise this will be on the cover of PEOPLE when I win my first Oscar.
