Another Episode on Bosch Legacy

Bosch Legacy - castI had an amazing month. Bosch Legacy productions gave me another opportunity to be on their show, which will air in the fall of 2024. Being on their set is always a wonderful experience for me. This time, I have a recurring role as Det. Reina Vasquez’s mother Jane, and it’s a slightly bigger role than last time. As soon as I know the exact air dates, I’ll share them. Here’s a sweet photo of me and two of the cast members.

On the podcasts front:

Jack Remick - AuthorWe are thrilled to announce that Jack Remick will join us as our guest for this month’s episode on the Poetic Resurrection Podcast. He’s a poet and a writer and he recites his poems, Dying Dreams, Secret Disease and Lovdeth, from his poetry collection entitled Satori. They’re beautiful poems. I love this section from Dying Dreams: “Despite the cult of youth, we know this: flowers fade, we come to the closing of doors where we lie down naked for the dying of dreams.” Not only is he a talented poet and writer, but he also imparts his knowledge by offering a writing masterclass. Take the time to listen in to this episode, which promises to be both enjoyable and educational.

Mark PearsonThis month’s special guest on Overheard at Chica’s Café is entertainment lawyer Mark Pearson. Although this episode may be longer than others, it is packed with fascinating discussions. We delve into the legalities and requirements for success in the music, film, and entertainment industries. AI and its impact on creative property also takes center stage in our conversation. If you’re interested in learning about thriving in the constantly evolving entertainment world, this episode is a must-listen. And as a bonus, we go into further depth on the topic of AI due to the extended length of this episode in a separate episode.

Voiceover Auditions – A Month in Review

Voiceover home boothThis past month has been quite eventful. I’ve had a few auditions, mostly for voiceover work which I enjoy recording. These auditions are quick and fun, although I do take the time to study the character and come up with a unique voice. Some scripts require more thought than others, so I pause to think before performing. Thanks to my agency, DDO LA, I’ve been receiving good audition opportunities.

To improve the sound quality of my recordings in my apartment near a busy freeway, I turned my office closet into a  recording booth by adding soundproof materials and using my Scarlett interface. For my podcast, I continue to record in my office as noise is less of an issue compared to voiceovers.

On the acting front, I’ve had multiple auditions and am awaiting news on a potential booking.

Ruben Rodriguez - Book EditorMy podcasts have been well-received. This season on the Poetic Resurrection Podcast, we focus on Literary Fiction, featuring publishers, editors, poets, and writers who will discuss all aspects of getting this genre to readers. This month we have Ruben Rodriguez, book editor. Ruben Rodriguez, our guest for this month’s episode of the Poetic Resurrection Podcast, is a highly accomplished editor and English teacher. He shares with us the intriguing story of how he first ventured into the world of editing and teaching.

J Alexander Greenwood - AuthorOn the Overheard at Chica’s Café podcast we welcomed my good friend and fellow podcaster J Alexander Greenwood. Alex and I meet on his podcast Mysterious Goings On and quickly became friends. So much so, that we ended up doing a podcast together called Chica and the Man. In this episode, Alex discusses his writing and his experience with a producer who wanted him to write a treatment. Listen in to this interesting story. As always, we laugh throughout the episode.

Stay tuned for the next time when I can hopefully share about an exciting booking opportunity.

In the meantime check out the rest of the my website.

Until then, stay blessed and find joy in each day.

Holds and Avails – Commercials Auditions

Sonia Iris LozadaI have been very busy this month going on commercial auditions due to the film and television strike from the SAG-AFTRA union. Being put on hold/avail for a casting decision is an exciting step, yet I was released from three of those holds in a row, and unfortunately did not book any of them. This is why many SAG-AFTRA members must find other sources of income alongside acting.

Since actors began their strike, a number of myths have circulated about the money they make and what it takes to be an actor. To find out more, tune in to my podcast Overheard at Chica’s Café where I interview Steve Walker a theatrical talent agent. He goes into great detail about the requirements for becoming an actor and the roles that agents play. There is sure to be something very insightful in this conversation. Don’t miss out.
