Good morning people,

DC--ugh

I am currently annoyed at my location--the nations capital. I feel 'stuck' in DC, because there aren't that many acting jobs here and I'm constantly getting notices for productions casting in NY or LA or Chicago or virtually anywhere but DC. My suspicion as to why this is is that DC has very strict rules for filming movies. I'm sure it is POSSIBLE to be a working actor in DC, I just don't really know how. Also, SNOW. I hate snow. It's fun as long as it doesn't interfere with plans, which it is doing. ugh

Talent Agencies in DC

On a different and more positive note, I met with Kids International Talent Agency on Saturday and am really excited by the prospect of them representing me. While they are a small agency, no doubt about it, they seem to be very credible and are SAG. From what I've read (and heard) the top agencies for those in DC are Kids International, Camera Ready Kids, and Linda Townsend (who's a manager). The benefits of being a talent in a SAG agency are that your agent can only take a certain percentage of what you make (usually 10%) and will help find you another agent if/and when you decide to make the move to a bigger market or if you have to move for other reasons.

I did an audition video for a web series in Maryland on Friday, called 'Amongst The Undead' which you can see here.

Open Calls

I have found that in DC, if you search for them, and I mean really search you can go to an in person audition once every two weeks or so, which is nothing compared to the multiple auditions a day that you can attend without an agent in New York or California for someone my age--but, ya know, it is still something. With an agent, I don't yet know.
