Felicia Day - Creating Our Own Work

-
As I shared in the last post, I and others are encouraging actors to create our own work. A great example of this is the actress Felicia Day and her web based series The Guild. Felicia was best known for her stint on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as one of the "potential Slayers" in Season 7. In an article on Fast Company.com by Ari Karpel, Felicia talks about her web based series The Guild, and how it started as a home based Youtube creation. Four seasons later, the series has garnered a huge following and has led to her current deal with Microsoft that allows her to maintain creative control of her work. Felicia also discusses the importance of using the internet to find and create your own niche. Check out the article at FastCompany.com, and watch the video below. Enjoy! and Create! Create! Create!

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm having doubts. How can I continue to afford these acting coach lessons?

If I'm not performing now, and I didn't move to NYC at 26 when I had the chance, and I'm still dreaming about performing more than doing it then maybe I'm just a dreamer, not a doer, and I need to stop pretending that things are ever going to be any better, and just accept that this is as good as it gets! I'm pretty nice to myself aren't I? This was a rant I began on August 30th of 2010, and one I have mentally revisit

Back to the Beginning

Blogging is where I started... Back in 2009, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona. It was the closest "big city" I could get to. Recently separated, on a clear path to divorce, and with my 2 year old son and two cats in tow I made the leap. All I could think at the time was this was finally my chance. Finally my chance to have the life that I had always wanted. Free from the controlling aspects of my marriage, free from having to put any one else's needs first except myself and my son. I knew I wasn't ready for Los Angeles although I did consider it. I just knew I needed to get out of this small town and try, really try to make something more of myself. To follow the dreams that had been nagging and tugging at me my entire life. The Artist's life. I thought, "this is my big chance"...and I couldn't have been more wrong...more on that later. So I am back at the beginning. That 2 year old son is now 15 and so much has changed, especially me. Among the turmoil,
