Hi everyone! I've got an update for you today :) I've tried to make it into an approximated timeline!
4:00 A.M. : Alarm clock buzzes. Snoozed for 10 minutes.
4:10 A.M. : Shower
4:35 A.M. : Get ready - makeup, hair, get dressed
5:15 A.M. : Leave the apartment to drive to L.A.
6:30 A.M. : Shell gas fill-up, french vanilla cappuccino caffeine necessity, and Carl's Jr. breakfast stop - spicy chicken sandwich and small fries
6:45 A.M. : Waiting in the level 3 parking structure of East Los Angeles College. My call time was 8:00 A.M. - Better early than late!
7:30 A.M. : Walk to set. Sit around and wait to be called.
9:00 A.M. : Called on set for first scene. This goes on for four hours with two 15-minute breaks.
12:30 P.M. : Sit around and wait. Outfit change for the next scene.
1:15 P.M. : Lunch time - catered food - BBQ ribs, chicken, mac&cheese, veggie burgers, hotdog and buns, watermelon, assorted veggies, mashed potatoes, etc.
1:30 P.M. : Call my friend to complain how I fail to make new acquaintances - painfully shy/scared
2:15 P.M. : Called back to set. Sit around and wait to be called.
3:00 P.M. : Called for next scene. Three takes and we're done :) Break time again. Outfit change for the next scene.
3:20 P.M. : Called for next scene. Few takes and we're done!
3:45 P.M. : It's a wrap for me!
I basically brought a LOT of clothes and it paid off! I went through three very different outfits for the three scenes. I also got to work with awesome actors - principals and extras both! Sorry, I didn't get any pictures. I do have my Facebook updates throughout the shoot!
8:31am: Reading a historical romance while I wait to be called by the costume designer. Woe, back in the day, if a woman was kissed by an unmarried man, she's ruined for life. How utterly ridiculous!
8:50am: I've got a cheeky grin. Costume designer just came to look at our clothes. I get to stay in the exact same outfit I'm wearing now. That's a nice boost to my self-esteem :) thank God for this awesome coat!
11:13am: You know you love your job when you don't get bored just sitting around waiting for your cue or doing the same thing a million times. Do what u love; don't let other people dictate your life.
Anyway, I'm excited to go on my next project! Hopefully they will start coming in more often by beginning of next year.
Future projects: I am recruiting two female actor friends to help me recreate a scene in one of the books I read. Possibly more projects in the future if time permits with the filmmaker.
UPDATE: OH MY GOSH. I just did a Google search on the actor we worked with today on set. He was Christopher Gorham: Piper Perabo's Co-star in Covert Affairs in the USA Network!!! Practically next door to White Collar - my favorite show!!! I feel so bad I didn't know who he was and didn't get to talk to him! I'm kind of mad at myself for being so shy! *sigh* Lesson learned. Talk to anyone and everyone, you never know who you're talking to.

Last Day With Vivia Font
Today was our final for my acting class with Vivia Font. It was great to see everyone's improvements after all of our rehearsals. I'm really proud of everyone.
Enjoy this video of random footage of the after-party and some classmate interviews and an interview with Vivia!
It was great working with all of you! Thank you for being wonderful and for inspiring me to become a better actor! Thank you, Vivia, for your enthusiasm and brilliant exercises. You believed in us even when some of us were too afraid to try. You kept encouraging until we realized our potential. THANK YOU!
