Brush up your Shakespeare...
In this industry, you have to think of YOU..... It's taken me this long to learn this....
I have been a manager at a restaurant, host, veterinary technician, sales person, CEO of my own company, even mowed lawns for a while.... and why?
I didnt put myself out there.......
I was trying so hard to please other people and support them that I forgot where my heart was.... on the stage....
There are PLENTY of opportunities for dancers/singers/actors in this area, so that's NOT an excuse!
You MUST audition and apply for EVERYTHING you see.... even if its being a sheep in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.... make sure EVERY director and choreographer knows your name.... NEVER EVER do something stupid and back out of an opportunity someone gives you... There is a black list in theatre, and every director has an updated copy.... Impress EVERYONE, you never know who's watching....
For example... I dont like doing hip-hop AT ALL...I think I look funny doing it, but now I'm assisting in workshops and people are actually telling me I'm a good hip hop dancer??...
Cruise lines ALWAYS have auditions!
Theme Parks ALWAYS have auditions!
Regional Theatres ALWAYS have auditions!
AUDITION FOR EVERYTHING! Even if you just go for the experience...they will remember your face next time.....
Take care of your body and WORK......you may have to look for these opportunities but they ARE there! Go on craigslist under "Jobs"....there's ALWAYS something there!!!! (just search Dance, Dancer, actor, etc...)
You can always contact me if you need help finding something....I will help you find it, and put a good word out, but YOU are what they want......
You have a talent that should never be taken away from this privileged undeserving earth....so don't hide it....and don't let ANYONE make you keep your talent from the world....I made that mistake....and I've learned....
There will always be a place in the sky for your star.....you just have to reach for it

A New Life
Life will throw you curve balls at the most inopportune time. I've learned that all you have to do is find something to get you through it. My outlet: Dance.....
Always live each moment as if it's your last....don't dwell in the negative.....that's no way to get through
"No other Road, No other Way.....No Day But Today"
