Muzak gets "People's Choice" Pick at Humboldt International Short Film Festival!

Pretty cool, huh? (For those who don't know, Muzak is a short in which I played a lead role).

In other news, I auditioned for a MasterCard commercial this week...yes, one of those "priceless" ones. I want to design my own...."Headshots, $600; Acting orgs you rarely take advantage of, $80/month; Acting classes, $400/month; getting told you're never going to make it in Hollywood? Priceless...."

Hmm....what else...oh! I have an audition on Monday. Lead role. For an NBC Pilot :)

General update

Not much is going on, and I'm too lazy to write all about Casting Director Workshops or my Groundlings classes (which have ended, anyways), so figured I'd just serve up a general update for ya.

1) Auditioned today for a student short. Forgot rule #1 for student shorts: get a copy of the script before spending 2 hours driving out to audition.
2) Have been attending Casting Director (CD) Workshops, the most recent of which was with the Associate CD for Grey's Anatomy. I tried to convince him that no hospital in this country is without a least one doctor of South Asian decent, and so the cast is incomplete without... umm...ME. He smiled and then ended our meeting.
3) Finally (finally!) took professional headshots, and only for $500! (Now you see why I tried all other avenues?). Actually, they turned out pretty darn good, and I'm kicking myself for not having shot 'em the day I moved down. I love all my friends who gave me headshots on the cheap, but there's a reason people pay up to a G for these. As soon as I narrow down my favorites, I'll post 'em for your voting pleasure.
4) Got the callback for that lead role in that feature (mentioned a few posts back). Didn't get the part. Booh.

My plan over the next week or two is to lock down and mass produce the perfect headshot, and then to...oh, I don't know...maybe book something?!
