This Is The City; Los Angeles, California

("This is the city...")

My friend and I arrived in Los Angeles driving a pickup and a U-Haul truck, respectively, nearly eight weeks ago. After a few days of recovery from the three day trip from Portland, I began to get audition calls almost immediately.

Don't let anyone fool you, it is a lot of hard work just to get an audition. You have to submit first, no wait, you have to get your stuff together first: your photos, your resume, your contacts and your internet! Then you submit, submit and submit again! Once you get that audition, of course, be ready to go. Have fun fer cryin' out loud. I have had more than 15 auditions in the last 6 weeks after submitting to over 110 productions. That's a pretty good average they tell me. The 15th audition got me my first call-back. The next step in the process is to book that job! Then, work your ass off in the joyous spirit and then, in the words of Humphrey Bogart, "...work breeds work".

More to come...
