Short film shoot with Matt Koval went well, really fun and can’t wait to see the series.  I’m currently reading  Next! An Actor’s Guide to Auditioning by Ellie Kanner My thoughtful boyfriend bought me a bunch of acting books for Christmas because he would like me to succeed.  He did a great job because he chose a bunch I haven’t read, and I have a shelf full of them that have been scoured, highlighted and pages dogeared.   I’m trying to figure out what I can be doing that I’m not currently doing to take things to the next level.  Am I procrastinating something?  Should I get a personal coach for every “bigger” audition?  Am I scared to spend money on more training/development?  Have I failed to pray to the correct God(s)?  Are the stars misaligned?  It’s kinda like trying to invent the light bulb, how many thousands of times did Edison fail before succeeding?  Agent? Check.  Manager?  Check.  Good Headshots?  Manager picking out new ones from recent photoshoot right now. Check.  Booking?  Woof! Who the f*ck knows.  There’s a large “crap shoot” element to this business.   Here comes 2009!  xoxo Lid
