So a month, what has been going on? Well auditions. Lots of auditions. Some I didn't even submit for so it's a good thing to be called in by a company that's seen your work right? (Yes I'm completely patting myself on my back) Lots of Shakespeare. He's big I hear. And yesterday I auditioned for Beautiful Soup theater company. I haven't heard of them before but their organization in setting up the auditions was amazing. So based on that of course I'd audition. I love auditioning. It's a small performance unto itself and it's usually really quick in and out. The thing I hate about auditioning? The people trilling their lips next to me as they "warm up" and the opera singers warbling in the rooms around me. Oh Shetler Studios, you need to invest in some sound proofing. Great audition though. I took some adjustments they gave me to a perhaps over-used Wilde monologue and executed them to laughter. Then was giving sides to read.....which I know not everyone was given. So woohoo. Now I was called in for Torvald in A Doll's House. It certainly depends on how they cast Nora. I think I may be in the running, but it will all come down to casting.
In other news 25 Cents for Love has been occupying most of my time. For starters we're on IMDB! Clearly we're legit! I've been spending the last month fully researching film festivals and submitting like crazy. It's a lot more work than I thought it would be. But every time those discs leave my hand and head out to the post office I get such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. Something we made is headed out to potentially wow audiences (fingers crossed). So in all honesty this month has been insanely busy between auditions and film festivals. And lastly:
I've been working on this funding campaign through kickstarter to help raise funds. Apparently film festivals are expensive. The link to the campaign is HERE. We are in the last hours of it. So far we've raised $100 OVER our goal, but every little bit counts. So if you're reading this today...check it out and pass it on.
Anyone who donates now gets one of these nifty Buttons! Just sayin...
Interesting. I posted an article on auditions last week in my blog on acting (jacopopaoloni.blogspot.com), and I'm working on Ibsen's A Doll's House myself, where I play Nils Krogstad.
ReplyDeleteI'm an actor and student at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, and I live in New York too.
Your blog's a nice discovery.
Hello Jacopo! Thank you so much for the kind words. I look forward to following your acting journey. It's always a pleasure meeting another actor, let alone another one here in NYC.
