I’ve been feeling a little lost since I graduate from my acting program. I was suppose to take an audition technique class but for some reason or another it has been delayed. So in the meantime I’ve been trying to figure out my next move. I’ve been trying to go through the “breakdowns” every day looking for roles that I am right for, then calling my agent to make sure that I have been submitted for those roles. 99% of the time my agent says “yes, you have been submitted”. This is good and bad. It’s good because I’m being submitted. It’s bad because I haven’t been called in for any of the roles I have been submitted for so far. So I’m thinking that maybe I need a manager. A manager may be able to get me into auditions I otherwise wouldn’t be considered for. But I’m not sure this is the right move.

I’ve also been trying to develop ideas for my own movie. The other day I met with one of my old friends who is also an actor and we hashed out a couple of ideas. It’s a good start and I think we could actually do this. I think this is definitely our best bet in gaining visibility as actors. If we can create a good movie showcasing our acting talents this could be our ticket into an acting career. It definitely worked for Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Vin Diesel.

Other than that I’ve been trying not to get too frustrated with the fact that I’m stuck in an office everyday doing boring computer work. I’ve also been working out at the gym like a madman. My trainer has really pushed my intensity level way up. I’m getting good results too. Now if I can only shed 17lbs of bodyfat, I’d be 7% bodyfat and look ripped.
