So I had a realization a couple month's ago that I really missed acting. I took a break from it while I got my undergrad, but acting was the catalyst for my love of the film industry. It's just in me, and something that I've always had a serious passion for.
As of Wednesday I was accepted into a talent agency. And the next day I had an audition! Things really move quickly in the industry. It went really well. I was nervous. Besides the fact that it's an audition, I hadn't exercised my acting chops in about 4 years! I didn't know if they may laugh me out of the audition, or worse, be really lukewarm about my performance. Thankfully my talent agent really seemed to be impressed. That was quite a relief to me because it's validation from an unbiased source.
Anyway, I am excited! I'm sure I have lots of growing to do as an actress, and I hope to be booking some stuff to get the experience! Being in Nashville is a real asset because there's definitely some great opportunities here and just starting out it's nice not to be so overwhelmed as I might be in a city like Los Angeles.
Oh, and I won't know if I got the part for a few days. I have no idea how many people I was up against, but I might as well be optimistic about it! Either way, I'm just excited to be in the game. Growing and learning.
Also, getting ready because I am going back for a second time to the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL! More on that to come.
