And.. here we go!

Since my last post, a lot of things have happened and have changed, mainly, my attitude towards my acting career. 

I left my job at the gym, I have enlisted the help of a personal trainer and have plans to move to London at the end of February! 

Yup, a lot has changed! This year, I plan on living life to the fullest, only exuding positive energy and hopefully attracting the same! I already have an audition lined up for a theatre show here in Ireland and after that, I just need to finish my training with my trainer and then head out to London to really immerse myself in the industry over there! 

So yes, this poses a good bit of obstacles, but nothing I cannot overcome! Firstly, personal training does cost money, and since I just left my job, I have to rely on savings to cover it. But I figure, in this industry, a good, fit and toned body is essential, because I don't want my body to be just another reason casting directors will say 'next!'... mmm.. So I think of it, as an investment for my career, just as a good headshot is! 

Now, moving to London poses more obstacles, but I have family to stay with for a little while, and from there I will try and get myself accustomed to the theatre and film industry in the UK. Becoming a member of British Equity and Spotlight is a must! And then of course I will be heading in and out to as many workshops as possible and to as many theatre shows as possible, and just network!! Woo!  

Just positive energy for this year folks! That's all I'm focussing on! Getting my body and mind in check so that I can be 'available for life to happen to me' (Bill Murray)

So that's really it folks! I'm doing it! Throwing caution to the wind and just going for it! Anyone else having the same feelings for this year? Or even any advice for London? 

Much appreciated! 

Thanks for reading!

England!!!

Hi all, so I know I haven't posted in such a long long time, but here is a brand new update!

Other than some extra work, I haven't been on the acting scene very much! I have been involved with a few performances over Halloween and now during the Christmas period with the National Leprechaun Museum here in Dublin. The shows are interactive and just general good craic so it's been a lovely little creative outlet, rather than just standing at the reception desk! 

But in other news, I have decided to move to London for quite a short period of about 3-6 months in January! And let me tell you, I'm terribly excited!! I cannot wait to get over there and to meet the amazing acting community that I've heard such great things about! 

So essentially I'll be spending time with my grandmother and my family in Crawley and then heading in and out of the city to explore audition workshops, meeting at spotlight and what nots! And hopefully I'll land a few auditions and get seen by some great Casting Directors and all that jazz! Now I know it's not gonna be all rainbows and sunshine, and it'll be super hard, because lets face it the pond is bigger, and there's a whole lot more fish! Yikes! The competition is fierce in London but I've heard great things about the support from the acting community over there and I have high hopes (although cautious, I'm thinking positive!)

Also, in case anyone was looking for me, I have a youtube channel that I will be uploading weekly videos to, hopefully all monologues but I'm sure I'll ramble off at one stage and start to talk a bit more about Acting life.
