This week I had three auditions in three categories. I had an audition for a TV show, a commercial, and a print job. Can’t complain, feel blessed.  I’d be even more blessed to book any of them.

In addition, I was interviewed on two podcasts and I’ll post those episodes once they’re up. On my second appearance for the Mysterious Goings On Podcast, we discuss my forthcoming book entitled Inspire Me Series: Book 1 & 2  with a reading of several poems including a reading from my upcoming book Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams. Additionally, I was interviewed on the Faithful Film Fanatic and we discussed my acting experiences, auditions, heartbreak, and my experiences with the ups and downs of being an actor.

Finally, on the Poetic Resurrection Podcast this week I interview one of my favorite poets Martina Reisz Newberry and we discuss her new book Glyphs. She also reads her poem Glyphs in the Canyon

 

 

We participate in the Amazon Associates program and all proceeds go to supporting the website.

No news on the acting front, so I will make it brief.

I’ve been working most of the week on my podcast and new book. Finishing up the publisher side of the gambit. Copyrighting and final checks on formatting and layout with a beautiful new cover. When all the publisher duties are done I will reveal the new cover.

This picture is from one of my quotes entitled Pivoting Moments – In Life There Are Pivoting Moments of Awakening.

As I had reported last blog it’s been an exciting week. I have now had six total auditions since I signed with DDO Agency two weeks ago. Auditions started last week Friday and here we are on Wednesday. Today I was lucky enough to have two auditions in the same place. The second casting director was kind enough to see me earlier so I wouldn’t have to return to the studio.

I recorded a self-taping for a TV show this week. If I get it, I should hear by the end of the week.

On the book front, the cover to the new book Inspire Me Series Book 1 & 2 has been approved and will be out soon. I really like the cover. I’ll unveil the cover next time.

Have a great week. Hoping to have booking info next time.

It’s been an exciting week since I’ve joined my new commercial agents and I’ve had two auditions and a third one tomorrow. All since Friday. Wow. I haven’t had this many auditions in a row in years. So grateful!.

Auditions are great because you get one more opportunity to book a job. The acting skills are then your responsibility to further your chances in booking this gig. I’ve had many instances that the casting office loved me and even called my agents to let them know how great I was and then I didn’t book it. It happens. Life happens. Once you’ve done your part it’s up to the advertising or production company to make their decisions.

On the book front, I’m working on a complication book which will include my first two books in the Inspire Me Series and some new poems from my upcoming book Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams.

A new season on the Poetic Resurrection podcast ,released on Monday Apr 4th. This season we’re discussing Awakening Dreams. Tune in this season for an array of guests informing us as what pivoted them into their life choices.  Listen in to the podcast here.

 

Chica and the Man has a new episode as well. On March 31st we discuss “Successes”. We normally hear about the lows in peoples lives but we wanted to concentrate on the good experiences. The strange thing is some of the smallest incidents create so much joy.

 

 

All podcast are available on Apple, iHeart, Google, Amazon, Audible and most podcast platforms.

 

 

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the month of March. It has been amazing. As mentioned last week, I had a wonderful time on the print shoot. This week I got picked up for the commercial department at the DDO Agency. They represented me in the print department and are responsible for the print job I booked. Thank you Julie, Cassie and Krystal.  Thank you Marlene for your welcome email.

 

On the Poetic Resurrection Podcast front. We ended the Women’s History Month with Poets. Four lovely ladies enlighten us with their poetry and life experience. Thank you Marina Reisz Newberry, Jasmine Di Angelo, Lynn Thompson, and Luivette Resto.

Available 3/28/2022

This week has been exciting. I had booked a print job as mentioned last week and it was for one day. They called me in for a second day – Yay! Met really great people on the set and we exchanged numbers. That is always a plus. Grateful for the opportunity.

Worked on a SAG short and it got a go ahead to continue. I’ll be completing the show in May.

This is a great surprise and excitement for two of my acting friends. The film short they did was nominated for an Oscar! Wow! There are only three or four actors and two of them are friends. Small world and I’m very excited for them. Actors need to support each other.

Please visit the Poetic Resurrection Podcast. This week in honor of Women’s History Month we celebrate Healing Poets. These women are poets and their poetry is self-healing and mindful. Check it out.

Until next week. Be grateful, be fair and have compassion for all.

Good news this week. I booked the print job I mentioned last blog where I was on hold. Monday 3/14/2022 is the fitting and the actual shoot is 3/18/2022. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly. I just love booking gigs. I didn’t even have to audition for this one. Yay!

In the meantime, check out my Poetic Resurrection Podcast where I acknowledge the wonderful women leaders who have been on the podcast in honor of Women’s History Month. The entire month is dedicated to the women that have been on the podcast.

Consistency. A word most of strive for and then something happens and there goes consistency. That’s me with my acting website. I just realized I hadn’t posted in two weeks. In this meantime, I interviewed two new guests – Christoph Jenkins and CEO Spoken King on my Poetic Resurrection Podcast. February was Black History Month and I enjoyed speaking with Christoph, CEO and Egypt.

As for acting (inconsistent), I’m on hold for a print job. No theatrical auditions lately. I’ll keep you posted and fingers crossed things will get prosperous

Resume and gallery.

This past week has been a typical week. Well, as typical as it can be knowing we’re still in a pandemic. I had another self-tape for the same casting office, as I did the previous week.

I’m working on a new Pinterest page that includes my personal quotes and lines from my poetry. I’ll post a link when that is up. I’ll be updating my gallery because I have new pictures.

There’s a new episode of the Poetic Resurrection Podcast (releases weekly) with guest Dr. Egypt Iredia a medical doctor and poet who got into spirituality and now incorporates her passions.

My other podcast Chica and the Man which only releases once a month. The last episode on that one is Let’s Talk about Cars.

This week has been busy with editing my poetry for the upcoming book Inspire Me: In Time of Need and a compilation of many of my poems into an eBook. Needless to say, I’ve been keeping myself and my editor busy.

On the acting front-I’ve had several auditions in the last few weeks and one seems promising.

My two podcasts The Poetic Resurrection Podcast and Chica and the Man had episodes released this week.  Having to edit two podcasts and do social media is time-consuming but enjoyable.

The Poetic Resurrection is a weekly podcast that explores perceptions. I’ve been honored with great poets, leaders, and guests. There are also meditations on this podcast. Check out the website.

 

Chica and the Man is a monthly podcast that I have with podcaster Alex Greenwood. This podcast’s subtitle is As Unscripted As It Gets and it really is. We usually pick a topic that day and just go for it. We have fun, laugh, and banter. Check out the website

 

In the meantime, check out the Gallery and watch the acting video that’s referred to on episode 4 of Chica and the Man.
