opps opps opps.

things in LA seem to fly by really fast and offers seem to be pouring in. i can't tell if it's due to insincerity or possibilities. i'm going with the former. or is it the latter? whatevs - i'm going with possibilities. 

current audition opportunities that seem to have been handed to the kids in my program:

-randy sklar (www.imdb.com/name/nm0804460) came and taught us a guest class a couple weeks ago. a couple of us went to see him and his twin brother do standup, and after the show they were telling us that they have a couple things coming up that they are casting and so they will get the info to maggie and call us in. just like that.

-lee cohn is our comedy teacher (sound familiar? he wrote the book on PA. literally. he wrote practical handbook!) and he told us to give in our headshots because he's casting a bunch of stuff including a pilot in the upcoming months. he wants to use us. just like that.

i couldn't get into the room in nyc, but here i am, week 4 (!!!) and there are audition opportunities left and right. it could be that these are just obligatory offers, and i shouldn't think anything of them. they are insincere, small talk. but it doesn't feel that way at all. it feels like real offers. anyway, i'm still sort of spinning by how i could not sweet talk my way into one little law and order audition without representation or the union, but here are a couple of audition offers without even doing anything. networking? is that cynical? and i'm in NO way thinking that i'm gonna land these gigs and become famous, but i'm just excited that i can actually get in the room. i didn't know how to do that in nyc. i'll worry about landing work and representation as the auditions start coming. the first step is the smallest but hardest. the first step to becoming a working LA actress instead of just another LA actress is to get in the room. is this the sound of the door actually opening? i don't know, but i'm definitely gonna learn my lines and have a ball. who knows how long any of it will last?!?
