and now to wait

I haven't heard anything regarding the voiceover project. Either they are reassessing, or waiting for me to blink.

This is the part that can get challenging, exciting or plain boring, depending on where I'm at.

I've submitted for a couple more commercials with other casting agents, so we'll see what happens with that.

I look forward to working Monday. I will find out what the story is. I noticed several background gigs needed people for basically the same days I'm working for and they state the pay amount. Feeling a bit concerned.

Looking to stay positive.

OMG when it rains it pours

Got verification in the mail that I got a three day gig. A THREE DAY GIG. I am beside myself with joy and hope.

I'm awaiting a two day gig for tomorrow and Thursday and another for Thursday and Friday.

If I can fit in another gig this week for at least two days or three, that would be fantastic.

Wondering

So the wait...it's going on 9 pm and I still have yet to hear from the casting assistant I spoke to on Friday about tomorrow's call time and shoot location information. She had noted that it would not be an early call when we spoke, and that's good news, but I still have not received an email, as she stated she would "send all the information" [when she got it].

Just went out to get dinner since cooking where I live is considered blasphemy as it's not my kitchen (another story told another time when I'm in a better place and frame of mind).

Picked up a baked ziti from the new place in the neighborhood and walked the dog. Tomorrow, I hope to put the growing flowing basil into a new pot. Must also remember to plant for marigolds. Haven't done that yet. This weather is not really conducive to grow flowers that need sun to flower. Another day of rain. AUGH.

checking for call time

As advised by the casting agent, I called after 10 (10:30) and heard the taped voicemessage saying to call back after midnight or sometime around 6 am. Since I tend to stay up late anyway, I figured waiting til after midnight was a no-brainer.

About a half hour after midnight, I called, the message hadn't changed. So I will give it another hour before setting the alarm for 7 am to hear whatever call time information is finally updated.

Ah! Part of the life of a background actor. :-)

Been seeing initial castings for stand-ins for a book that's being turned into a movie, Eat Pray Love, I believe. And the actress attached? Julia Roberts. I don't know what to say. I have yet to read the book although I've been wanting to for more than a year. Keep getting distracted with life, I guess. Gotta check it out of the library and read it.
