No audition week

Tomorrow is my first audition in a week...I keep telling myself it's because i haven't joined SAG...but I keep seeing friends who aren't SAG book guest spots on TV...So that can't be....but comparing in this business....oh such a vicious cycle. It hadn't occurred to me until today that I hadn't had an audition because I've been up to so much else!

I ran into my long lost voice teacher at the gym, coincidentally as we sat right next to each other in cycle class at the gym. She was long lost because I could no longer afford her... but now we're trading services. And I am more than excited to start voice training again with a Sondheim audition at the end of the month. And even more exciting, perhaps I can start writing music now, as promised, with my now iPhone application Business Partner who was originally my Craigslist-found Spanish Guitarist for my gig at the Hive.

And today, I filed for Candidate Status to once again run for Neighborhood Council. Why would I want to volunteer all those free hours again? Well, because I love my community that much. Silver Lake makes it possible for me to bear Los Angeles. I truly believe that people who hate LA, learn to Love it when they find the community that belongs to them, that connects with their desires for a home. Silver Lake is that for me. So much so that I've become that girl trying to get stop signs put in on my corner intersection because the drivers are always speeding, and it's dangerous for pedestrians. I've become that girl.

LIstening to Hector Elizondo the other night at the Michael Laskin Studio was inspiring. He's such a gracious, passionate man. Listening to him was good affirmation that I'm right on track...because even though i haven't auditioned in a week, I'm doing all those things that make me a complete person, citizen, and artist. And that is enough...
