Hi Everybody,
What a great year in terms of bookings! I've had so many students reporting
back about their successes! I really enjoy hearing from all of you! I'm a
professional actress who works consistently in this industry and I love teaching
others how to do the same!
If I look familiar to you, you've probably seen me on the Sunsetter Awning
commercial that's been playing nationally for over 4 years. We just shot a new
version this week that started airing in April. You may have also come across
the film, The Touch, in which I had a lead role. I hear it's been on TV lately. It
also showed at the movie theatre at Universal's Citywalk as part of the Global
Peace Festival. So far the film has won Best Feature at the 2005
Independents' Film Festival (IFF), a Crystal Reel Award, and was shown at the
International Family Film Festival in California. I also received a Crystal Reel
award for my performance. To find out more about the film and the all Florida
cast, visit the newly updated site www.thetouchmovie.net.
Here's an update on what my kids and I have been up to lately: My daughter,
Christy, age 7, has been auditioning with me quite a bit recently. We worked
together for the first time on a commercial for Baldwin Park, then I worked a
couple of days on an industrial for the Awana Clubs and Christy booked her first
speaking part in a commercial for Elmer's Go Paint which played nationally.
And we were cast together as mother and daughter for a DISH Network
commercial that's still playing. Then Christy shot a SAG National spot for
Canadian Tire Co. that played nationally in Canada. Together, we shot a
Disney Holiday Parade commercial at 2am on Main Street and a St. Luke's/St.
Vincent's Hospital commercial in Jacksonville. So far this new year, Christy
booked commercials for 7 Falls Resort in N. Carolina and Papa Johns and I
booked a spot for Bass Pro Shops. My son, James, shot a commercial for
Hard Rock Theme Park and did a print shoot for Publix. He performed at the
Florida Theatre Conference in Lakeland recently representing West Orange
High School. Last year he won best supporting actor at that competition. He
also had the opportunity to audition for Lisa Fincannon at a call-back for Disney
Channel's new season and was requested to send a taped audition to the LA
casting directors of a new Disney pilot. James was just in Beauty and the
Beast at West Orange High School as LaFou and my daughter, Kendra, was
assistant stage managing. Christy shot a commercial for Shand's Hospital in
Gainsville last week. We do stay busy!!!
