Repeat Business

There's nothing like repeat business.  The familiarity, the trust.  They've asked to use me for future projects.  Here's another web video I narrated for Nitro Pro.

More Theatre.....

My next show is Harvey which will open on October 19, 2012 at The Raven in Healdsburg, CA.  I'm playing Ruth Kelly, R.N. (as I like to call her).  I'm thinking of her in the vein of Rosie the Riveter.  She has stepped up to work while all of the men are away at war.  I like her, I'm going to make her so the audience likes her too.  Miss Kelly.

Theatre Adventures

This path has brought me to perform in 3 shows over the past year and a half.  The experiences have been completely exhilarating and transformative.  A little trip out of the sound booth can really add layers and nuance to any voiceover performance.

The first one was called "The Ticking Clock Project" at the 6th Street Playhouse.  Okay, this sounds really corny and cliche'd but it's true, I am so honored to have had my first show with these talented women.  I couldn't have asked for better way to loose my theatre virginity.

The second show was called "Act M: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow Only".  This was my first show that was more than a monologue.  I had to learn how to work dialogue and blocking with other actors on stage, something I had not yet done.  These talented actors taught me so much and I'm so grateful they gave me the opportunity to be their Vaudevillian Lady Macbeth.....
 

 

The 3rd show was called "Letters Interactive" at The Sitting Room.  I had the absolute honor of playing George Eliot.  It was akin to taking an English literature class.  We were each given a thick book of the author's own letters and read them to internalize who these women were.  The other authors portrayed in the show were Virginia Woolf, George Sand and Zora Neale Hurston.  Under the direction and creation of Christine Renaudin it really was a magical experience.

This truly is a journey.

Judd Apatow and Jason Segel, Need I Say More?

This is another on-camera scene I did, except here I am virtually wallpaper.  I realize one should not be so proud of being an Extra, but this is Judd Apatow, Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris Pratt, Mindy Kaling.....like my funny people, you know?  A fun lesson on how a Hollywood-produced set feels.

Keep Up the Work

 
There are several things I do to stay in the game.  One is trying out any and all genres of acting, if not to make me a much braver person but to continue to work the clay, so to speak.  Here is an on-camera commercial spot I did produced by Comcast Spotlight in the Bay Area.  It was a good exercise in working on a set and hitting my mark.

I recently recorded my very first demo, a commercial demo, with the talented Samantha Paris and Chuck Kourkouklis at Voicetrax in Sausalito.  I hope to record more demos in the near future....
