It's official, the slow season has started. A lot of the pilots that are due out in the fall have wrapped production on their first and second episodes. I feel very fortunate that I have been able to still find enough work to stay a float. There seems to be more feature films filming this year than last. Which makes me feel like we might be back on track from the writers strike.
I have received the script to the film that I landed a role in. My first day of shooting is on June 14th. Not too sure as to where they are filming or when the movie will be out. Or whether or not it's a straight to DVD/Blu-ray or if it will be screened at film festivals and shopped around to get a wide release.
Even the work has been slow, still hasn't kept the shenanigans from happening. I worked on the new Aston Kutcher / Natalie Portman movie last week and was paired up with a few interesting people. I was booked as one of four hacky sack guys in the park. A gay Latino, an Armenian, myself, and the whitest white boy in L.A. were the 4 dudes picked to play hacky sack on set. I felt like we were the little rascal rejects.
I have started to get auditions for my voice for voice over work. I have signed up for a website called Voice123 and they look at my profile and my demo, and send me a script to read and tell me how they want it to be read. I then record it, email it back, and wait to hear for another audition or if I actually got the job. Those jobs can range from $10 to $1,500. I haven't gotten a job yet, but I am not surprised. It's going to take some more practice and time to earn my keep.
