I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant

Yes, I filmed an episode of this TV show for TLC (the learning channel) last Fall. I auditioned for a doctor and they ended up hiring me to be a Social Worker. It was a fun time and good to do television again.

The episode will be on television tomorrow, Wednesday, July 21 @ 4:30 p.m. on TLC. Check your local listings for the channel. The episode actually contains two real life stories. The episode is 30 minutes long with two 15 minute stories. The first story is about a woman named Glynis. The second story is about a woman named Robyn. I am in the second story.

Robyn and her husband do not know that she is pregnant and so then... well you'll have to watch the story to see what happens next. But when they talk about a social worker, well keep your eyes open cause that is when I come in. Let me know what you think after you watch it! I will look forward to reading and publishing your comments.

I have been working on some interviews for Latino LA and you should see them published some time this week.

Don't know about everyone else but I am getting tired of 95 to 105 degree days. It just drains your energy. Ugh! Keep drinking fluids and stay out of the sun, that's my words of wisdom for today.

Well, in case you are wondering the Dexter audition went just okay. Not great. I haven't heard anything from them so that means that someone else got the job. It's such a great show. I just hope that they will give me another chance someday down the road.

It's funny because lately I have been reading so much on this industry. I am an avid reader. One book says audition this way. Another book says audition that way. One says just be natural. Another says pretend you are talking to your best friend. Others talk about acting classes. I just think I need to get in front of the camera as often as I can. The more I do it, the better I'll get. You can tell someone how to drive but until they get behind that wheel and practice and practice, they will never know how to drive. Well, that's me.

As much as I appreciate advice from those that are successful, I am someone who just has to do something over and over again until I get it right. So I recently filmed two days of a music video. I also filmed a scene for a short horror film. Then last 2 weekends I worked on a short film where I play Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. And I went on an audition for a USC film.

Then this woman who shall remain nameless asks me what the USC film title was. Why? Because she wanted to go out on the same audition. Now why would I give someone else this information? Sorry, honey find your own opportunities.

We had a young deaf girl in one acting class and she wanted to know why this business is so competitive. Excuse me? Every job in any field is competitive. You have to do your homework. Find the opportunities, get ready and give it your all.

As Chuck Norris said in his book, "those who fail to plan, plan to fail". There's no business like show business.
