I've been hard at work going to acting class on weekends, school during the week, and fitting in dance, voice and soccer practices and games! I filmed an indie short film this past week! It was a lot of fun, especially since it was shot in Brooklyn, and I was the lead, Alice. I am always on the look out for more opportunities to gain more experience. I also love the audition process, there is always something to learn about myself.

<p> Auditions are rough. Particularly if you suffer from nerves. </p> <p> I suffer from nerves. They make my voice strained and my breathing shallow. I go pale and I shake. My performance is sort of wooden and inconsistent, or consistently bad. </p> <p> I admit I am not the best judge of my own performance, ever, but I know how it feels, and I know that the auditions I am relaxed and confident are the auditions that I get the gig from. </p> <p> So how can you control something like 'nerves?' </p> <p> ATTITUDE! </p> <p> When I am nervous and performing badly, I can't really blame my nerves. Nerves can, of course, ruin even the best laid plans. However, nerves are the result of stimulus that can manifest itself as excitement or anxiety. If I'm nervous during an audition and my throat goes dry, even if Im prepared, that's going to make things difficult for me. But If I interpret my dry throat as a sign that I'm excited, I can overcome them with confidence and energy. With the right attitude, shaking, a palid complexion and a dry throat can be channeled into your performance and even into your character.</p> <p> Nerves are often a sign that I haven't prepared properly. </p> <p> PREPARATION!</p> <p> Learn the lines:</p> <p> Which casting director isn't going to be impressed or at least relieved that you learnt the lines? Even if you weren't required to. And how much better do you feel when you're acting with someone and making eye contact, putting meaning into the lines, rather than just reading off the page? No matter how good you are at cold reading, it's usually so much more dynamic and a better performance if you learn the lines! </p> <p> Explore character: </p> <p> It doesn't have to be a whole character bio but at least be familiar with your character on more than the superficial level. You need to know the character's objective and motivations. Don't be that guy who just lifts the character's Facebook profile. Use your personal experience, your knowledge of humanity and any relevant research to inform your characterisation. Be familiar with the language of the character. If they speak French, you'd better know what those lines mean. </p> <p> Optimise your tool:</p> <p> You need to practice breathing deep full breaths from your diaphragm. That will help with the nerves and when you're breathing properly you won't be able to hold as much tension in your throat: that will help with the small high pitched weak voice that nerves bestow upon you. Loosen your jaw. Shake your body. Take the feeling of butterflies in your tummy or tingling in your limbs and use it to energise you. Start to treat your symptoms of nervousness as your dynamic edge, trust that these feelings will empower you and help your performance and go away when they have done their job. Use it as a sign that you need to concentrate and focus on your character and lines. </p> <p> Put yourself in a position to take charge of the room:</p> <p> Be on time. Be personable, accessable and professional. Familiarise yourself with the space. Claim your performance space. Take your time. Interpret the character from a place of authenticity and authority. Take direction. Lead the interview. Relax. Keep in mind that you are auditioning them, too. Be self-assured. There are no mistakes, just exercises and opportunities.</p> <p> Dress for the part:</p> <p> Don't bring a costume just keep the role in mind and present your interpretation of the character. Dress comfortably, though. If you don't wear heels but your character does, you'll have plenty of time to learn to walk in heels later, for now, just wear something that portrays a similar sense of sexiness, professionalism or whatever it is that high heels are supposed to represent. </p> <p> I don't do this everytime. Sometimes I do it and don't get a callback. Other times I don't do it and do get a callback. But this is best practice for actors, anyway. </p> <p> I was told by a director that I respect very much that my voice lets me down. That's my weakness. Because he was honest with me I am able to improve this. Next time it won't be my weakness. Hopefully, I won't have one.  But he also said that my nerves affected me so much that he didn't know what I was capable of in performance. Directors are used to seeing nerves. They don't judge you for being nervous. They want you to do well and they understand anxiety. But you have to perform through your nerves because sometimes directors simply can't see what you're capable of behind the nerves. If your nervousness is seriously cramping your style and the above strategies of attitude adjustment and preparation don't help there are still things you can try. Don't give up.</p> <p> Hypnosis or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help to calm your nerves and overcome their symptoms. It is a long term answer and is only as effective as the doctor and patient. But it could have empowering and dramatic results.</p> <p> A Beta-blocker is a drug that is often prescribed to musicians and stops nervousness. Apparently it feels like you're uninspired and it's difficult to truly guage your performance. It's a short term, temporary measure. It would require extensive preparation to overcome the feeling of being uninspired but actors are notoriously bad are rating their own performances accurately so this probably wouldn't affect that aspect too much. This would be the most effective and immediate answer to nerves. </p> <p> Nothing beats practice. Audition often and you'll eventually audition well. I know my nerves are never as bad during a performance because we've run the performance many times. But it might be worthwhile acknowledging that sometimes my performance can be lacklustre because I don't have nerves.</p> <p> Remember: nerves aren't all bad. Sometimes they provide that little spark that lights up the whole show! </p> <p> Tell me how you manage your nerves, I'm always desperate for more strategies!</p>

<p>  </p> <p> Hey Everyone, I have just scheduled my first audition for Saturday March 2^nd 2013 at 2:00 pm.  I am so excited and my husband just said “good for you Sweetie”.   I love him! He keeps me grounded and balanced.  I hope that it does not conflict with my job, we are preparing for an audit that is scheduled for some time in March with about a 48 hour notice.  Pray for me! </p> <p> Blessings</p>

By maintaining your most original composition, if you alter certain things on your car it will automatically void your warranty, doing it yourself can sometimes decrease your value. Amplify your project with people that have or can provide credits, this brings value to your project, as a result, more people will benefit thus making your project worth more, now you have something to market , the larger your market the greater your value, If you want to be famous you cant be common , and if you want to be common you cant be famous, this can also decreases your value , you have to find a balance, anything to readily available can have less value. In closing I can tell you how far a project will go, by where one places their values.http://<wbr />www.facebook.com/pages/<wbr />P-DON-MEGA-Productions/<wbr />115164261930460?sk=app_1299<wbr />82580378550.</strong></div> <div class="stat_elem"> <div class="action_links fsm fwn fcg" style="margin-bottom: 8px; "> <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/comments.php?api_key=FB_APP_ID&channel_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-static.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D8%23cb%3Df3f542f8c4%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ffb.flashquix.com%252Ff3737ca3dc%26domain%3Dfb.flashquix.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&locale=en_US&numposts=10&sdk=joey&width=810#" id="us2hz3_59" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; ">Reply</a> · <a ajaxify="/ajax/connect/vote.php?show_all_replies=0&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&id=fbc_10150547592418047_24442702_10150726482808047&in_moderation_queue=0&view_as_moderator=0&in_aggregated_view=0&in_contextual_dialog=0&controller_id=feedback_2ywOZuPgpevEmap73&owns_pages=1&colorscheme=light&vote=up" class="fbUpDownVoteOption" href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/comments.php?api_key=FB_APP_ID&channel_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-static.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D8%23cb%3Df3f542f8c4%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ffb.flashquix.com%252Ff3737ca3dc%26domain%3Dfb.flashquix.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&locale=en_US&numposts=10&sdk=joey&width=810#" rel="async-post" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; ">Like</a> · <a ajaxify="/ajax/connect/vote.php?show_all_replies=0&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&id=fbc_10150547592418047_24442702_10150726482808047&in_moderation_queue=0&view_as_moderator=0&in_aggregated_view=0&in_contextual_dialog=0&controller_id=feedback_2ywOZuPgpevEmap73&owns_pages=1&colorscheme=light&vote=unsubscribe" class="fbSubscriptionLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/comments.php?api_key=FB_APP_ID&channel_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-static.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D8%23cb%3Df3f542f8c4%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ffb.flashquix.com%252Ff3737ca3dc%26domain%3Dfb.flashquix.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&locale=en_US&numposts=10&sdk=joey&width=810#" rel="async-post" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; ">Unfollow Post</a> · <a class="uiLinkSubtle" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/P-DON-MEGA-Productions/115164261930460?sk=app_129982580378550&fb_comment_id=fbc_10150547592418047_24442702_10150726482808047" saprocessedanchor="true" style="cursor: pointer; color: gray; text-decoration: none; " target="_blank">January 26 at 4:48pm</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <p>  </p>

I LOVE OUR MUSIC, BUT DO WE LOVE IT , enough to change our business tactics , and protect our market share , so we can continue to compete.https://<wbr />www.facebook.com/pages/<wbr />P-DON-MEGA-Productions/<wbr />115164261930460?sk=app_1299<wbr />82580378550.</span></strong></div> </div> <div class="stat_elem"> <div class="action_links fsm fwn fcg" style="margin-bottom: 8px; "> <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/comments.php?api_key=FB_APP_ID&channel_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-static.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D8%23cb%3Df3f542f8c4%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ffb.flashquix.com%252Ff3737ca3dc%26domain%3Dfb.flashquix.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&locale=en_US&numposts=10&sdk=joey&width=810#" id="us2hz3_39" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; ">Reply</a> · <a ajaxify="/ajax/connect/vote.php?show_all_replies=0&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&id=fbc_10150547592418047_24653559_10150757543713047&in_moderation_queue=0&view_as_moderator=0&in_aggregated_view=0&in_contextual_dialog=0&controller_id=feedback_2ywOZuPgpevEmap73&owns_pages=1&colorscheme=light&vote=up" class="fbUpDownVoteOption" href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/comments.php?api_key=FB_APP_ID&channel_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-static.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D8%23cb%3Df3f542f8c4%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ffb.flashquix.com%252Ff3737ca3dc%26domain%3Dfb.flashquix.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&locale=en_US&numposts=10&sdk=joey&width=810#" rel="async-post" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; ">Like</a> · <a ajaxify="/ajax/connect/vote.php?show_all_replies=0&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&id=fbc_10150547592418047_24653559_10150757543713047&in_moderation_queue=0&view_as_moderator=0&in_aggregated_view=0&in_contextual_dialog=0&controller_id=feedback_2ywOZuPgpevEmap73&owns_pages=1&colorscheme=light&vote=unsubscribe" class="fbSubscriptionLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/comments.php?api_key=FB_APP_ID&channel_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-static.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D8%23cb%3Df3f542f8c4%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ffb.flashquix.com%252Ff3737ca3dc%26domain%3Dfb.flashquix.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FP-DON-MEGA-Productions%2F115164261930460%3Fsk%3Dapp_129982580378550&locale=en_US&numposts=10&sdk=joey&width=810#" rel="async-post" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; ">Unfollow Post</a> · <a class="uiLinkSubtle" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/P-DON-MEGA-Productions/115164261930460?sk=app_129982580378550&fb_comment_id=fbc_10150547592418047_24653559_10150757543713047" saprocessedanchor="true" style="cursor: pointer; color: gray; text-decoration: none; " target="_blank">February 6 at 2:00am</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <p>  </p>

A modern day man finds the woman of his dreams and makes her his wife. This highly decorated soldier, who fought proudly for his country, and father becomes the victim of a dangerous plot contrived by his deceitful wife to kill him for his insurance money. Just when he thought the fight was over, he uncovers the multitude of affairs she'd been having for over sixteen years, along with a plot that had him black-balled from his entire family, arrested, and left for dead on the streets. What happens to his children over the years is something no parent should have to endure at the hand of his delusional, volatile wife. Can anyone really take this much and still live to tell the story? Or has he signed his name to the papers for a pine box that will take him back to the depths of Hell? Find out what really took place over their eighteen years of being together and how one man’s passion for the sanctity of marriage took him to the edge of death.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: trajan pro,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Director / Producer - KYLE RIPTON</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: trajan pro,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Assistant Director - Dayanara Roman</span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: trajan pro,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Associate Producer - LISA L.
