Heading into the homestretch of Summer

If you don't have tough skin, the entertainment industry is not for you. Thankfully, my skin is getting tougher by the moment. July and August, so far, have been filled with auditions and experiences, but as of now I don't have a professional gig yet.

I'm learning there are a lot of politics in the industry, unfortunately. It's not always solely based on skill. Gone are the days where you skill will take you to the top. Now, it's all about being the IT factor at the right moment. But, when is one's moment? As of now, it is unbeknownst to me. Some days, I wonder if I really want to go through all of this "searching" for MY gig, but then I realize that I've only been doing this for not even 2 months. Some people have been "searching" for a year or sadly, even more. I'm determined to break into this industry before then. I found a small hole to get in and now I'm trying to expand. The extras work I've been doing has been going pretty well although, as usual, I can't commit to it because something is ALWAYS standing in the way. Sometimes I don't submit myself because I can't commit to the whole day because of work. I need to fix my schedule!

So, other than extras work, I've been trying to build my resume and also break into the print and commerical industry. I think that would be a great experience for me and I've been pining for that since childhood. But once again it's all about being the IT factor at the right time. Hopefully once I get new photos I can send out my pictures and resumes and hopefully hear back from someone.

Wrapping up, since the last post I have had experiences with Step Up 3D, Happy.Thank You.More.Please, NJ Devils, etc. This is for personal memory so that I can actually remember what I've been doing all summer. Next up is Radio City for the 2nd time. I feel as though this audition might be harder than the last since they may have most of their spots filled. But, I am still going to dance to my fullest and hopefully receive good results!
