A little update...

Wow it's been forever since the last time I wrote on my acting blog. Not much has been happening but a few little things. I did a voice over for a singer and had so much fun doing that. You can hear me on his newest album (before one of his songs) as a female news anchor. As I said that was way fun and on January 22nd he is gonna give a concert and I will be part of that too. Life is exciting. :)
Also I was seen on a Christmas "Minute to Win it" episode in the audience. That was cool too. Here a little preview: http://www.nbc.com/minute-to-win-it/video/jump-shake/1263557/
The whole episode is on NBC.com if anyone wants to check it out. Besides that I am trying to work on my dream and enjoy life.

Little success just feels great...

So last week on Thursday I had my little webisode commercial shoot. It was great fun and I enjoyed being on a small set and just had fun with it. I was kind of a normal-person-food-critic and the whole shoot was kind of done like a talk-show type thing setting. It was great and the people in charge were all super cool and nice. But what can I say. I am in love with anything that has to do with acting. It is my passion and I am grateful for such cool opportunities. :D
Today I receive another e-mail from them saying that the producer really liked me and wants me to come back for an additional webisode shoot. How cool is that? I am so happy and excited. I mean who doesn't like to hear things like that? E-mails like that totally make my day. And besides all that is super fun I get to earn some money with it too. :) I am just happy and feel like jumping all over the place. Acting rocks and is sooooooooooooooo awesome. :D

Fun, Fun, Fun...

Yesterday I had so much fun during my acting class. We did a 5 people scene from "Friends" and it was just cool. I felt we worked really hard and even though coach was on our case nonstop it was totally great. I loved every minute of it because I felt we really accomplished something and had some little successes for ourselves. For example I played the role of Phoebe and it is very hard for me to be silly and a bit crazy around others. It is easy for me to do that around family and close friends but people I don't know that well make it more an obstacle for me. :O It is kind of weird how different we are around different people, right? Anyway we did the scene over and over again and in the end I was really getting more and more comfortable and was able to step out of my comfort zone a little bit. :) It felt great. :)
What's also crazy is, it really is hard to talk to people about my excitement and passion for acting who don't have anything to do with it or are not interested at all. There am I totally happy with things and my face lights up literally when I talk about it and there is not much interest at all or I get some serious reality-check. It is kind of sad because I want to share this happiness with others but it's sometimes impossible to make them see it how I see it and what joy it brings into my life. I can't even describe it but this is truly the person who I am and it helps me so much to enjoy life. I think we all need something that keeps us going and yes I do understand not everyone likes the same things but it just hurts me a bit when I want to share things with family and friends that are important to me and they don't really seem to care. :(
Oh well I did notice though (coming from Germany) how different germans and americans are. Americans are so much more open, interested and excited for others when it comes to going for a dream and that way much more understanding too. Maybe that's why I feel home here because I realize that more and more and have come to the conclusion that I truly belong here and that I am in some ways "American" by heart. :)

Welcome to my acting world...

Acting is my biggest passion and has always been a dream of mine. That's why I created this blog to keep everyone (who is interested) up to date with what's happening in my life. I just love it and every little success makes me happy. :)
I've added links to some of my monologues, a video audition and a student film "the obsessed fan" to my blog and there is more to come. :) I am still waiting for a copy of another student film I was in and here is also two links from the show "The singing bee" where I was in the audience. http://www.cmt.com/videos/the-singing-bee-352010/1633061/full-episode.jhtml ;

The latest project I have done was a voice over as a news anchor where I will be heard on a new music album. I am excited about that and can't wait to get a copy. :)
