Blessed...
I was commenting to my wife that i needed to jump start my acting/Improv career after a nine month sabbatical.
One day after that, an acquaintance, Dante, contacted me. He said he had a part for me in his production. Albeit, it is a small part, it is perfect for me right now. Filming starts in January.
I also started mining the various FB groups I belong too. I saw a post for a character with open age (even in the 50’s - no comments please). I needed to submit an audition by week’s end. This was Tuesday. My week was full with little time to memorize a monologue and record it. (I really need to record a good to leverage quickly.)
I happen to find a monologue from last year. It was not my best work. A cold read. I submitted it with that caveat. Not the best way to introduce one’s self.
It surprised me that i was offered the part of the Judge! Filming starts in a week. Another small part. Again perfect.
Butterflies are in full motion. Feed by perfectionism and fear. Always striving for excellence. Time for a chill-pill as my kids would say.
And ... very excited. I love performing and meeting new people.
Also, always take that shot. That risk. Just need to train the Butterflies to fly in formation.
Best is coming...
