Soothing Shrimp Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Guess I'll use this as a journal of sorts. It doesn't fit in with the shrimp stuff, so I guess I'll post it here- unless someone has a better idea. heh Just finished a short run of "Sweet Obsession" in October, and recently finished a short run of "It's A Wonderful; Life" as Uncle Billy. I'm hoping 2015 has a couple good acting breaks for me this year. heh I may have an audition for a cable soap opera this month, so keep the fingers crossed folks.

metageologist Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 You should pitch a Shrimping series to discovery. Tell them it's the next big thing in pets. Shrimpie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 heh Pitching is very beyond my expertise and requires a whole different resume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 The name of the soap opera is called "New Souls." ...and I got the audition! So Jan 31st, I go audition. They're sending me the sides so I know the character to audition with. It's for a small cable provider in Chicago, so pay is next to nothing, but the perks are worth it to me IF I get cast. Experience in front of a camera Experience working in a TV show My own IMDB page Social Neworking Visual Exposure and chance of being picked up by other cable stations/providers. The company is a beginning producing company and as it grows, they'll remember who has been working with them. In short, although transportation and expenses would run me into the red, I'd be paying my dues for one step closer to my dream of being a professional actor. I always have to laugh at what the media terms "overnight successes." The entertainer may have signed a contract overnight, but there are years and years of paying dues behind him/her!

mayphly Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 That's a great break for you. I hope you kill it! I've been paying dues in the music business for the last thirty years and never get tired of it. Do what you love! Good luck!

chibikaie Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Good luck, indeed. I got suckered into coming out of backstage once in high school. (We ran out of actors.) Can't handle that much stress, never going back. Definitely respect anyone who can. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddles Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Good luck! I hope you make it. If you attack your acting career with the same gusto you do your shrimp "career" then I know you will succeed. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
