Interval.....

There has been some good an bad news recently. We shall start with the good :) The first film I ever starred in, 'The Final Shutter,' will be showing at the Cannes Film Festival in France May 15th-26th (right during my sister's wedding!!)!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for this opportunity!!!! :-D :-D :-D

Now onto more everyday conundrums: I am currently working 3 part-time jobs, very part time at the movie theater, as an assistant for a Mary Kay director, as well as a Mary Kay consultant. It's incredibly crazy and I have had close to no time to do my voice-overs or work out.

16-18 hour days 4/5 days a week=exhausted Brittany/ 

It's very frustrating as well because although I'm working a lot, I am getting close to no money since I'm working off Mary Kay products. If anyone needs any Mary Kay products or a free facial, PLEASE let me know!! I want to get back down to LA as soon as possible and this is the only way I'm seeing that happen now. I would love to quit the movies so I can focus on my film and Mary Kay but that's the only income Mike and I have right now.
Also, for the next few months I will sporadically be down in the Bay Area for filming of  'Hope's Identity!' It's so exciting that even when I'm not trying to find gigs, they fall into my lap. It makes me feel very blessed and excited for my career as well as my cast's future!
I'm also working on a few different voice over projects right now, one of which I was just cast in-Kathy Rain in the video game 'Kathy Rain!: I have several more auditions that I'm waiting on and I'm currently editing together my demo scripts. Hopefully I'll actually have some time to update that soon with my pro mic! :)
Oh, did I say the bad news? Yeah, Mike's job was temporary so his paycheck is no longer coming in. And now we have a gas guzzling truck. We don't have the gas money to even get to my jobs and class anymore with this Beast. But we are hoping to trade it as soon as possible because although it's in great shape (especially for being a 1980 Ford truck), the gas eating is almost worse than having no vehicle :( I hope everyone's day/week/month are prosperous and filled with joy!! :-D

UPDATE!! Update!!

Long needed update!! Sorry that I haven't been able to post recently-a lot has been happening lately and I've  been a bit overwhelmed. From May-November 1st Mike and I lived in the LA/OC area. And it was AWESOME!! Not only did we get to meet fantastic new friends, we had so many opportunities granted to us. I did a lot of audience work on tv shows (Rickie Lake, Jeff Probst,  Let's Make A Deal, and a few more) as well as two short films plus I got to be a background actor in 'Lovesick' with Matt LeBlanc and Ali Larter). Plus Mike got to be in the season finale of 'Weeds' and in two different webseries.

In October I got to be in the Queen Mary's 'Dark Harbor.' Not only was this a badass event, I looked like varying degrees of scariness of this:

 The people were fantastic, but our housing plans fell through and we had to move back up north to Redding.  Where we've been living at my parents' house.
 Now, I am a registered voter in Humboldt County so Mike and I decided to road trip over there so I could vote. Unfortunately our car threw an axle into its engine and it was totaled and we were stranded in Humboldt at my cousin's house. That was pretty cool because I've never been super close with Zev so it was nice to get to know him better.
 So now there are two cars for my entire family: Mom, Dad, Me, Mike, Griffin (still home from college until late January) and Gideon. I worked my butt off and got a job at Cinemark Movies 14 (whoop-de-doo right?) and during the holiday season I was getting 6 days a week and loving it! Unfortunately early January came around and I was moved down to 2 days a week. Thankfully Round Table Pizza gave me an interview and then hired me by mid-January. Plus I need 1 class before I graduate from Humboldt with a Theater degree so I decided this spring is the time!
 So I was working 2 jobs and had class 3 times a week and was still trying to find Mike a job. Then my Dad's car died on the freeway. So now we're at the point where there are 5 of us in this house trying to get everywhere we need to go. We have had to call in a lot of favors (Thank you Ashley, Kassy, Saralysette, and Grandma Tripp for helping us out!!) to get everywhere, but we're really hoping a really good job comes along for one of us. It's a pretty terrible feeling, being a 23 year old bottom of the rung worker at a movie theater in my hometown. Not only do a lot of people recognize me, but I feel so unfulfilled and bored by the work I have to do over and over.
 My Round Table job did not last long. Although I loved making pizzas, didn't have a huge issue cleaning up after guests and fellow workers, but I was only getting 2 hours a day, which didn't even cover the gas to get dropped off at work, have my driver go do whatever they needed to do, and then come back and pick me up. Plus I was the only female there that didn't have a kid so I guess I didn't need any money to eat.... 8 hours a week, broken into two hour shifts is BS. I might write more about that situation later. I decided to quit this past Saturday.
Now onto some voice-over work I've been doing!! I'm currently on the site I will be updating this list from time to time with links and reviews and such :)

I'm sure there are more, but at the moment I just can't remember them. Oh, and I'm currently constructing a sound-blocking box to go around my mic, so if anyone has any clues I would really appreciate it!! :)

I will be filming a feature in April down in Oakland that I am soooo excited about, wish me luck! (And if anyone wants to run lines, let me know!! lol) I will be back soon with hopefully some really good news!! :)

So it's been awhile since I've been able to post a blog!! Long story short, our house-mate hadn't paid any utilities or sent the rent money we gave him for over 6 months so the electricity was turned off. We decided it was time to move plus I had an agent waiting in LA. And then an amazing friend-Niki-offered the extra room at her house in Lancaster to us until we could get on our feet. We've been here for about a week and a half and I had a meeting with the agent who said she would represent me commercially if I moved to LA. She wants to represent me, but she was condescending, rude, and overall did not send off the positive vibes I want to further my career with. But I'm on the ball agency-wise! I've compiled a list of agencies, am waiting on one more scene from a director for my reel, and I am ready to get acting ASAP!! Mike and I have both been applying to jobs every day, but our gas and money are pretty much gone. We came down here on an amazing dream, but finances are really tough. Niki and Robert (her significant other) are being amazing and so understanding about the fact that we have zero money, but I know it's tough to hear.... Which means you probably don't want to listen to my troubles, lol. 

Oh I was totally shown this today! J.K. Rowling almost killed Ron. RON!!! How the heck...!?? *deep breath* She also explained Lupin's death-it was supposed to be a father figure dying. Like Harry didn't have enough of those growing up! Jeezum crow...

Anywho, tomorrow Mike and I should have a busy day in the midst of LA. Wish us positive thoughts!! :)

Help me move to LA!!

Hey all!! I am so excited, Mike and I have finally decided to move to LA!! I have been getting decent work in the Bay Area, but I really want to focus more on my film and television career and a little less commercially. I have an agent waiting to start booking me on gigs as soon as I move down there (she's even help me scout for housing) so I want to get going right now, but I know that's not quite possible. So I started a Fundrazr! I am asking any one out there who could just put a little money towards my dream. I have been aspiring to this point in my life since I was 9 years old and I played Golde in Fiddler on the Roof. My life-long dream comes down to whether or not I can get some help financially to get down there. Mike and I have been struggling to keep ourselves fed up here, but we are working our asses off for peanuts up here (which I'm willing to do if my career progresses from it). But I'm at a standstill. I've applied to most of the agencies in SF and nearly all of them have denied me. I'm still waiting on 2 of them. And since LA wants me, I want to go there and find my fortune. I don't want to look back on these years and regret them. Please help!!!!

Itching to move...

Ever since I've focused myself entirely on acting instead of acting and modeling, I haven't been as busy or feeling as productive. Yesterday I auditioned for the Kaiser Permanente Educational Touring job and filmed a short. The short was awesome!! We shot at Laney College and I played a kidnapped wife who had been drugged and was getting felt up by a gangster. The grittiness of it was really awesome :-D Plus I got to shoot with BigSpence, whom I had met and gotten to know slightly on a 1-day shoot for the TV show 'Frontline.' Then on Saturday I'm going to be an extra in 'Now Hiring' in Roseville on Saturday. Just a short shoot, but I'm bringing my new business cards and I'm hoping to make some new friends! :)
I just booked a web-series that will be featured on youtube! I'll include the link here after it's uploaded. I'm also getting to audition for the film they are producing as well.
I'm still doing stuff in voice-acting of course! I've just sent in about 6 auditions (I almost wrote half dozen, but then I realized that was a heck of a lot longer than '6') I've also been given 3 different roles in various video games and audiobooks so I'm building up experience with voice-overs and editing said voice-overs. I also lament some websites not sending emails if I get a response to a post or get an email. I was emailed 2 weeks ago on some random website asking if I could do voice-acting for their film and I just found it tonight. Blegh
So anywho, Mike just made me a yummy ham sandwich so I'm going to go eat it. I'm super excited for the upcoming opportunities, please keep positive thoughts for everything! :)

Voice Acting and some good/bad news....

I have some amazing news! An agency in LA called and we had a meeting in LA. This led to her telling me that she couldn't represent me until I lived in LA. She explained why-she could get me 2-3 auditions a day nearly every day, but that would mean I would have to be in LA full time or else I would start looking bad. And right now that's just not financially possible. Mike does have a part-time job and I have occasional gigs, but we can only pay for rent (sometimes not even that) and we feed ourselves 2-3 times a day. I knew I was in for this-the whole starving artist thing, but I wish my career was more productive in SF. I have to keep reminding myself it doesn't just have to do with my look or my acting ability. And that I've only been in the Bay Area for less than a year. But since I KNOW I have gigs waiting for me in LA, I want to be there SO BAD!!
Every option for moving down there has crossed my mind:
-Ask a friend if I can crash on their couch for a few weeks and audition for gigs left and right until I can make some money
-Make a few grand (lotto?? I'm almost considering going to amateur night at the strip club. If you're a family member, you didn't read that though!) and get a car and an apartment in North Hollywood
-Wait for a few more weeks, months, however long until we've made enough money to move down there. At this rate, it probably won't be for about another year.

But for now it's just another part of a dream that I've been trying to make happen since I was 9.

I am making advances in my voice-over work though! I just voiced 2 video games today and I auditioned for 6 other VO gigs. I finally figured out how to edit with Audacity so I've been having some fun with it! I might post a clip of a Dr. Horrible song I did all the parts for, hehe. :)

Tomorrow I'm auditioning for Kaiser Permanente's educational touring program at 11:20. A different avenue that I'm trying. And then later tomorrow, I'll be filming a short at Laney College. On Saturday I'll be an extra in 'Now Hiring' which sounds pretty fun! After that I'm pretty free though :)
