Day One Hundred Fifty- Seven: You May Call Me Megan and Magenta

Hello everyone,

I apologize for not updating frequently, especially since I've been hearing from people that you have been reading my blog. I have received many questions about the MTV TV show, and I have some bad news about that. I spoke to the casting director and she apparently got fired or something, so I am no longer a candidate. This of course totally sucks, but is okay, because if it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be. In other news, I am still working on the movie April Fools, in which I play the character Megan. We start filming that movie next month. I'm pretty excited about it because the director is getting me colored contacts! Woo!

So I know that I have mentioned the Rocky Horror Picture Show before, but it is time to mention it again! This last Friday I played the character Magenta for the second time. It is a lot of fun playing her. It's obviously very different from what I used to do there (helped out with props.) I received lots of help from a girl named Courtney Walters. She played Magenta at Dragon Con 2010, so it was awesome receiving her help.

I will be playing Magenta again this coming Friday. Midnight at the Plaza Theater in downtown Atlanta. Hope to see you all there!!

Day One Hundred Twenty-Five

Sadly still no word from the MTV show, but that's okay. In this business you win some and you lose some. This Saturday I am filming Fate of Love (a movie with a speaking role) at Piedmont Park. I think it should be interesting filming while people that are not in the film will be watching. I wonder what it will be like.

April Fools (Another movie that I have a speaking role in) will be rehearsed next month and filmed in October. I am pretty excited for that, especially since they are getting me colored contacts. I've always wanted colored contacts!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is going to be performing at Dragon Con this year. Dragon Con is September 3-6, try and make it out! We are performing Saturday! Anyways, I am going to be a Trixxxie dancer, a Trannie Dancer, and Betty the hoe. It's going to be a lot fun so try your best to come! If you cant afford Dragon Con, come out any Friday night to the Plaza Theater on Ponce de Leon at Midnight for Rocky that costs a tiny amount of 8 dollars!! You can't beat that! Hope to see you there!

I'll update after I film this weekend!

Day One Hundred Eighty: Postponed

I arrived at the audition two hours early so I could focus on on studying my lines. Then, when 12:oo came around, it was only me and another person by the name of Carl. Carl and I were both auditioning for the show, but we were confused as of why no one else was there. After a while we contacted the casting director and asked where everyone was. It turns out that the audition was postponed until a later date. Might I add that the chair that I had been sitting in for over two hours was basically severely uncomfortable metal. I was a little upset that I sat in it for that long. After exchanging numbers with Carl so that way we can update each other on emails, I left the audition location. We haven't received an email on when the audition will be yet. However, I am confident that we will eventually get it. I'll keep you posted!

Day One Hundred Seventy Six: MTV here I come!!

Fantastic news ladies and gentlemen! Tomorrow I will have an audition for a lead role in a brand new series on MTV! The TV show is called FRENDZ and if I get the part, my name will be KIA! Curious about more details? Make sure you keep coming back for detailed updates on the audition, the role, and even the show! Fingers crossed!

Day Seventy-Four: Fate of Love Reading

I guess you can sort of say that yesterday was the first day on set of Fate of Love. Even though we weren't really on set, we did do a filmed reading. It was quite awesome. We were in a conference room, and we read through the script. I have seen this take place several times in movies and things like that, but now I actually got to live it!

I received a script for a new movie. A horror film in fact. I do believe that I am perfect for the part, but have decided not to be in the movie because it is filmed in Valdosta. Bummer.

April Fool's will start filming soon. I am quite excited for it, I know it will go great! I already know who my partner in crime is, what to wear, everything.

Tomorrow I start teaching Drama to kids. I am doing this at the Dunwoody Spruil Center. If your kids go there, congratulations, I am their teacher! :) hehe.

In news now that has nothing to do with acting but has to do with my appearance, I have cut my long hair. I now have short hair. Goes a bit above my shoulders. I do want to state however, it looks fantastic.

In other news, I believe that I am in the Episode of Drop Dead Diva tonight. I am in the courtroom scene in the audience, front row. I am in between my "Mother and Father". Let me know if you see me! :)

Day Fifty-Seven: The Bad and the Good

As far as the reading goes, I got the part!

Then just yesterday I had an audition for a paying role and I completley SUCKED and really doubt that I got the part even though I really wanted it. However, all is good. You win some and you lose some. I guess that's the way life goes.

I have a new obsession. My obsession is with celebrities such as Tori Spelling. I have watched her TV show since it began and quickly fell in love with her amazing personality. I have noticed how she has been so helpful in so many ways to her friends and fans. Do you think that maybe one day she will see this blog and help me? That really may be the best night of my life. I can just picture it now. Me thanking her, her getting teary eyed. What a great day that shall be.

So please, everyone, tell everyone that you know about this blog, because you never know who it will get to!

Day Forty-Seven: Movie Reading

This is a reading that I did for a movie audition. Yes, I was READING, but that is what they asked me to do. Hopefully I get the part, they sounded very interested.

Day Forty: Please come out and support.

Hello everyone! Might I just add that I am in a very good mood! :)

I wanted to take the time to tell everyone to make a stop to the Plaza Theater this Friday night to support me and my friends at the showing of Rocky Horror. The Plaza needs your help to stay open! My goal is to get all the seats filled so please come!

Also, even though this will also be posted on the site, I want everyone to check out www.sinescope.org I have written articles in it and my pictures are in it. Please help Sinescope become a major magazine!

Hope to see you all Friday!

Day Thirty-Nine: I am CASTED!!

Remember that monologue that I had to memorize? Well, the good news is, I GOT THE PART! I will now be playing the part of AMY in an upcoming movie called THE FATE of LOVE!! Woohoo! I am so excited!

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention this...

I will be in three fighting angles episodes not one. In one of them I speak, and another one I speak and kill someone. It's quite awesome. :)

I am very happy to hear that so many of you follow my blog. I just wanted to take some time and thank all of you. It really does mean so much to me!

Day Thirty-Six: :-/

Well, the web episode came out. I did have a line in it, but they must have cut it out. However I am still in it. I am in the H.A.O second to the left from the middle. Also this is a picture of the whole cast. Yes, I am sitting in someone's lap, but it's all just fun and games. Let me know what you think of the episode.

Here's the link! Just Copy and Paste it!

Day Thirty-Five: April Fools...again

So you may remember a gig I was offered to do called April Fools, but I had to turn it down because of the partial nudity. Well, good news! They have changed the male character in the movie to a female character! This character is completely clothed the whole time! How perfect is that? So of course I sent in my info and I did receive an email back. However he has not yet told me if I have the part or not. So things are going well. Yes, they are going well.

Also I have decided to add one of Derrick Tyson's photographs to all of my blogs. This is the first one. Just a head shot.

Day Thirty-Four: It Begins AGAIN!!!!

For those of you that read my last blog, I never intended to drop out of school. Basically what I was expressing was my desire to do more movies, TV shows, commercials, anything. I was also stressed out about an essay that I had to write. Oh and by the way, I am Now, moving on from what I was REALLY talking about.

I finally filmed my first speaking role! I was a character named Zoey, love the name! Anyways, it was a web series called Fighting Angles. The episode I filmed will be out tomorrow and I will defiantly either post it here or put up the link for it.

So the other day when I had a monologue that I had to memorize for an audition, but ended up making it up as I went along, I got a call back! I need to go back for a second audition, and this time I need to actually memorize a real monologue and YES I will.

The end of the semester is coming up and I am hoping to do some more speaking roles while not in school. Then once my summer semester starts I can only do weekend work. This means probably only being an extra.

Oh I forgot to tell you!! I am getting an IMDb account! It's already in the process of being made but won't be done for a couple of months. The interesting thing about the IMDb is that you cannot make your own, you have to be in a production that offers IMDb credit. Woohoo! Movin' on up!!!

Day 26: What Do I Do?

Sorry that I haven't written in a while. Lately so much has been happening. It's my own life and sometimes I have trouble keeping up. So let me tell you the news about the auditions and then I will fill you in on why I am so confused.

So far I know that I did not get one of the auditions. As far as the other one, I still don't know. My monologue was amazing though. Did I have it memorized? No. I made it up as I went. But hey, it was still good.

So here is why I am so confused. This acting thing is fantastic and I absolutely love it, but how do I keep doing it with school at the same time? Summer is coming up and I have summer school. Basically I will be in school from 10-7 so how can I act? I don't want to give this up. I want to work hard for what I want because maybe then I'll achieve it. Then theres the fact that I am almost neglecting my school work for this semester because I'd rather be acting. I just wish things could be easier. I feel a bit stressed out from not knowing what to do. Then, to add more to it, I agreed to write a screenplay for an upcoming web movie. Where do I find the time?!

If someone could please comment and leave me advice that would be great. Thanks.

Day Twenty: The Memorization Begins

This upcoming weekend I have two auditions. Two auditions for real roles. One supporting, one main role. I am learning a one minute monologue to audition with. This will be my second monologue ever learned. So far it's going pretty well. I have more than half memorized so far. I just hope that come tomorrow I still remember it.

I just got a phone call about two minutes ago. I will be working on the set of Big Mama's House tomorrow! I can't wait! It should really be quite interesting. I can't wait.

Day Sixteen: Ow

I had a great time on the set of Hall Pass. There were several cool people there. We were put by the lake and told to pretend that we were at the beach. They spray tanned me. For those of you that don't know me, I am as pale as Casper. Now here I am tan tan tan. Because of the spray tanning I wasn't really able to put 0n sunblock. Now from my knees to the top of my legs is completely burnt. Ow. I was going to start running again, but now I can't because it hurts too badly.

I guess this is the part where I start talking about Owen Wilson. I regret to inform you that I was not able to see him. He was close by, but from where I was I couldn't see him. *Tear rolls down*

There were several local kids that came over to the river by our tents to see what was going on. I'm not going to lie, I felt like a star every time I walked by them. I knew what they were thinking, "Who is that? Is she famous?" At least that is what I would be thinking. There is something about famous people that almost puts you into shock when your around them. It's a great feeling. I would love to give people that feeling one day.

In other news, I have an audition next Saturday for a movie done by some art school kids. It's not paid, but I'm sure I'd have a blast doing it. Plus I get the DVD when it's all done.

Day 14: Hall Pass

So a while ago I mentioned that I was going to work on the set of Hall Pass, but I ended up not doing it. The good news is that I will be on set tomorrow! I'm actually pretty excited because I'm hoping to get close to Owen Wilson. Yes, it's true. I find Owen Wilson very cute. So we are shooting on Lake Lanier and its going to be a beach party scene. This means bathing suits. I'm not too happy about that. For two reasons. The first, my bathing suits are from when I was 15 years old, they don't really look good on me anymore. 2. Confidence. My bathing suit body is not here yet! So hopefully everything will be okay, Wish me luck!

Day Twelve: A Night Amongst the Stars

Today I was on set of Drop Dead Diva. Might I add that I am a HUGE fan. Lets start off with the bad news. The bad news is that I had to wait for hours at a time in a room that felt like it was 1000 degrees below zero. I was absolutely miserable. I had someone else's jacket on, someone else's sweater on my knees and I was STILL freezing.

But the good news is waaay better. Brooke Elliot, the star of Drop Dead Diva, and I spoke for about a minute. No it's not long but when it's with the star of an amazing TV show it feels like an amazing lifetime. I told her that I was a big fan of the show and had seen every single episode. She was very kind, but didn't hold much of a conversation. Granted I was walking out of the room while speaking with her, but still. She didn't really speak much at all actually. She was very professional. Ready to work!

Now I was lucky enough to have about a five minute conversation with Kate Levering. Yes, I must say she is BEAUTIFUL. Unlike her character which is a rival of Jane Bingum, Kate was one of the most sweetest woman that I have ever met. Not only to me, but to the crew as well. She would often say, "Hey, how are you?" She was a noticeably a fantastic woman. So after I was used in a scene, we went back into the holding room. The moment I walked in I saw Kate standing at the snack table. I cleverly walked up to her and said, "Can I ask you a question about your hair?" She said sure. So I asked about her hair color, which by the way is completely relevant but I won't mention why because you will find out when you watch the second season of Drop Dead Diva...right? So this is how I started the conversation. I mentioned of course how big of a fan I am. Then someone else asked if she's still going for Jane's old boyfriend. Said said that her character had moved onto someone else. I responded with, "Knowing your character it's probably someone that would get you further in your career." She said, and I quote. "Wow, you really do watch the show don't you?" I was so proud of myself. It may be stupid, but I felt fantastic to know that I knew more about the show than anyone else there. Trust me it came in handy.

So that's all for today. I have my photo shoot with Derrick Tyson tomorrow. Cannot wait! See you on the screen of Drop Dead Diva. New season starts on June 6 on LifeTime.

Day Ten: Mission Accomlished

Sorry I haven't written in a while, but I got sick. However I do have fantastic news! Tomorrow I leave for Peachtree City to be an extra in Drop Dead Diva, one of my favorite shows ever!! I'm super excited! Even better news when I attended a shooting today a director noticed me and was very interested in me. He interviewed me for quite some time and asked me to be in his upcoming movie The Fate of Love!! Of course I accepted! Even though I already have the part, I still have to go to the audition just so they can have me on film being there. So the audition is on April 24. Exciting ain't it? Will update you soon!

Well...

1. Big Mama's House 3 - Even though I was so certain I was a part of it, I never got an email with the detailed location. I'm not going to lie, I was a little saddened by it.

2.April's Fools - A short film I was going to be the lead role, April. However it seems that my boyfriend does not allow it, no big deal, I'll find something else.

3. Fading Flowers - Although its not a paying gig, I am auditioning for the leading role in that as well. Unlike everything else though its not a TV show or Movie, it's a theater show.

So thats all for today. Wish me luck with my audition tomorrow! It's my first one! I'm so nervous! I'll tell you all about it.

Mind Blowing!

It amazes me how much can happen if you work hard enough for it. Here is what I have managed to grab a hold of now. 1. Possible Big Mama's House 3 (Movie) for a featured role. 2. fifty/50(TV show) a speaking role in which I debate over issues such as dating has become more of a job than anything. So the good news about all of this? I went from an extra to a speaking and dancing role! Thats a step in the right direction right? Hello? Anyone? I can't wait to tell you more soon!

Obsession

Only three days in and I already find myself completely obsessed with trying to find an acting gig. I spend almost all my time on google trying to find new ways to say acting auditions in Atlanta, in hope that new links would pop up. Fun? No. Aggravating? Hell yes! If only you knew how many sites lure you in by saying, "Free casting calls!" Then, once you sign up, THEN do they say, pick a price that works for you. Annoying. I could have saved so much time on saying something else, but really still staying to google. The good news is however is that I have managed to send quite a few emails today. The bad news, I sent some info for a movie that took place in 2005. Um...oops.

If only I lived in California, then oppertunities would be all around me! I could probably walk down the street and pass a director. "You there! Would you like to be in a movie?" "Who me??" Ahhh...I can see it now. Well, I'm going to leave you for today, I'm going to dream about walking in California.

A Little More Faith

So I received another call back! This one is for a webisode that will later become a TV show. The difference between this one and the others? This one is for a real role! Of course I don't have the role yet, I still have to audition, but I feel good about it. Sorry that I didn't write yesterday, I fell, and can barely walk. Therefore I'm in a slightly bad mood and didn't want to write. But here I am today! Delivering great news! That is after all the purpose isn't it?

The Day of Castings

So, obviously I'm not a star after one day. I haven't gotten anymore call backs, but I did search for some more castings in Atlanta. For all of you out there, finding castings isn't as easy as you would think it would be. There's so many people out there that have you pay for casting information and its absolutely ridiculous! Sometimes I just wish I can scream "Polina is right here! You can stop looking for a star now!" Then the director would come to my rescue.

Spoke to my boyfriend about kissing scenes in movies today today. The way I see it, is if he doesn't aprove, then there is no reason to even bother becoming an actress. Luckily he was totally cool about it. He understands that its just acting and just a kiss, nothing more. So thats all for today. Until tomorrow!!

Welcome! Let Me Fill You In!

For as long as I can remember I have felt like there is a purpose in my life. Not just any purpose, but the type of purpose when you're known all around the world and are a role model to millions of children. It is why I have begun my mission to find fame. If successful, it would be in one, or both of these reasons: 1. Love's Death, my novel which I plan on publishing hopefully soon. 2. Acting career!

Now I am sure you have all heard about how hard it is to get into the entertainment business, but for the next year I plan on giving it my all and fight for what I want. So far I have only worked at it for a week, but have already received five callbacks! Sadly just because I got five call backs, doesn't mean that I was used five times. I was however used in Franklin and Bash (2010 tv) pilot episode which I believe airs in May. I was a jury member, right in the middle on the front row. Check out the link for more info. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1600199/ Also, Just today I received another call back for being an extra in Hall Pass (2011 movie). I haven't filmed yet, but I do know that I will be at a baseball game! Here's the link for the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480687/

What's the purpose of this blog you might ask? 1. To fill you in on my journey to fame. 2. I have 365 Days. One year. Aside from being an extra, I would like to achieve the goal of getting a major role in either a commercial, movie, and or tv show. Think I can do it? I do. So please, come follow me on my journey to fame!
