Sooooooo......
To start off, yesterday I committed 4 of the 7 deadly sins. Sloth, Gluttony, Wrath, and Greed. I was quite content with myself. It felt good to be an asshole on my day off. I literally slept until 3 p.m. (partially because of the Bollywood Video that was shot until 5 a.m.) and also because I really just felt like being a lazy fuck for a day. After working 60 hour weeks I felt I owed myself a day of Sloth and Gluttony. When I called my dad it was 6 p.m. EST and he was like "Why the hell are you still in bed?!" Anyhow, I watched City of God...again...and was just as amazed as before. Seriously though best movie ever. Then I proceeded to get lost in Battle Royale for all of an hour or so and then decided to watch Fight Club and go back to sleep because my nipples were offending my roommates. Don't ask.
Also, expect an awesome PSA from South Holt Productions very shortly.....mwahahaha
Today I woke up and took Justina to meet with some Music peeps in Hollywood. I am amazed to say I actually enjoyed everything about it! Mostly because we found a bitchin' diner and being the Jersey girls we are scored some sweet chili cheese fries. But before that we were in the studio and just had some really good vibes about that place and everyone there was totally on their shit. The day was beautiful and I parked for free....twice....in Hollywood. Yeah I know, bananas. Later on I came back home and soon headed off for work. Commute blew balls today so it took me an hour. Gay. Then work was cake. Scored some cheap veggies on the way home and here I am. Happy as a pig in shit I believe it is?
Kind of sad that I am so broke I can't even get a damn 6 pack of Corona's on effing Cinco de Mayo but I guess I don't really need the calories. So it's lifes way of telling me to lay off the cerveza. But then Vin comes home with some PBR's like a good roommate. Love him. I don't really know what was in the air in Los Angeles today but whatever it was, KEEP IT COMING! Noone was an asshole.Eeryone was in a good mood, even when I got in trouble with my bosses, they were almost happy to tell me. It was fucking brilliant!
Cuba is sooooo on but I have yet to tell my boss. Nervous. But I can't wait, and hello I am getting paid to vacation (work)for two weeks in Havana. Who wouldn't take that opportunity. Vincent decided tonight that he was going to live his life by whatever the fortune inside the cookie said and when he cracked it open all hopeful and giddy..................it was fucking empty. What the shit does that mean? I don't know but I am kind of rambling now,so I am going to help Jacob transform into Violet and send them off to WeHo for the gayness that is Fiesta Cantina. Worddddd.
Much Love,
E

I came to Los Angeles for pilot season and I've been very
busy getting new headshots, updating my demo reel,
taking acting classes and improv classes, finding the
right temporary lodging while I'm here, etc.
Just now going out on a few auditions, which feels good.
THE POWER CONNECTION ACTING TIPS
Just wanted to update you on my progess here in Tinseltown.
I just filmed the little comedic role I wrote you about, on Ned's
Declassified. It may be quite a while before it actually airs though.
I had an audition for one of my favorite shows yesterday, "The Office".
I'm not sure I got small enough for them. They really like the
"less is more" approach. We will see.
I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about living in L.A.
for those of you who might be thinking of coming here. I honestly
encourage you to come out for a couple of months before moving
here. It is such a shock for me, every time I come, that I realize
how much I've blocked out about it when I leave.
One thing that is just unrelenting and challenging is the traffic.
If you now live in a smaller city or town, be prepared for traffic
that just never lets up.
The first time I drove down the little streets of Burbank and realized
that I had to go at least 35 miles an hour on city streets to keep from
being honked at, yelled at, and passed in a dangerous way. Back
home, we go about 10 miles down crowded city streets. Not here.
And back home, the freeway is the fastest way to go. Here, the
freeway is bumper to bumper traffic at least twice a day, if not more.
What does this mean to you as an actor? It means that once you start
going out for auditions, and booking work, you can count on being in
your car about 4 to 8 hours per day. That is not hyperbole.
When I was here two years ago, I heard two different industry professionals
say the same thing......they both said that your job is driving. Acting is the
reward you occasionally get for driving all the time.
That's the reality. I would never buy a car in L.A. I'd rent one. This stop
and go, stop and go, stop and go in very high heat, most of the time, is terribly
hard on a car. Add to that the fact that they have pot holes here that can swallow
young children. It's cheaper to rent or lease.
And then there is rent, of course. If you are planning a trip to L.A. for pilot season,
plan also to spend a minimum of $3,000 a month and if you really want to do it right
(classes, new headshots, new demo reels, etc.) plan on about $5,000 a month. That's
what this trip is costing me.
And so far, I've made about $300.
If you have talent AND persistence of a type that is usually
reserved for award winning athletes, you can make it in
Hollywood. A good friend of mine worked 20 times last year
and has also worked 5 times this year (It is March 4 as I write
this so she has worked 5 times since January). That is truly
remarkable but if you asked her if she felt she had more talent
than other actors who have been here just as long, she'd say
no. She knows the difference is persistence.
How long has she been here, working
on her craft every day and dropping headshots
EVERY day and following up on leads
and networking EVERY day?
For thirteen years.
Am I saying this to discourage you? Yes.
If there is something else you can do that you
will enjoy, do that. If not, nothing I say can
discourage you anyway and it's better you go
forward with your acting plans knowing the
score here.
Best to you,
Neva
