 This week has started off really slow and it's Tuesday today. I didn't have really anything acting related to do yesterday, but today I have a callback for the short film I was talking about last week. So I'm setting up right now my lights and I have a meeting in about 10 minutes to read the script again. I believe I'm going to be reading with the director and the writer. So that's what I'm doing right now. It's pretty slow. I haven't really received any, I haven't received any kind of submission opportunities or audition requests, but I have to say that I haven't been as active looking online for self-submissions, but I do plan on maybe opening up a few of my accounts again and reactivating them, you know, with a paid membership so that I can do more self-submissions this week or going forward. But I'm also doing some part-time job non-acting related. So I used to work for an office and they needed some help. This week and next week and I said I could do it part-time so that I still had time to do acting things. So I'm doing that this week as well, but let's see how much acting stuff I do this week. I'm done with my callback. It was more of a conversation because they wanted to make sure I was okay with the payment, with the schedule, with the COVID regulations and getting tested and all of that. And also if I could sing some backup vocals because my, because the person that I would be playing is a backup singer for a band and I'm not very musically inclined, but I, you know, I know I can do it if it's just, if it's a certain note that I can keep, I don't have to go up and down a bunch of this ooze and ahs and maybe a little bit of here and there. Anyway, so they're going to send me some vocals that or they're going to send me the song and I actually suggested this that I could record whatever backup vocals are eventually going to let me or have me do and because I have a pretty good microphone, I think it sounds really good to me. So I'm going to go ahead and record those and send them over as soon as possible so they can finish um booking everybody that is being cast and um yeah so I'm excited to get pushed out my comfort zone a little bit because I'm not as bad as I say I am I don't think I can actually do a little bit of something especially if it's rehearsed and if it's directed and um yeah so now I have to do that and I'm gonna have my boyfriend help me a little bit just to make sure I am in the right note I also have a guitar so I know a little bit about matching pitch and notes if that's I don't know I might be saying all the wrong words but that's that's pretty much it it was a really easy short conversation we actually didn't even read the script because they had already had me audition and read for the role so they just wanted to go over all of the stuff and you know answer any questions that might have might have to sing it's Wednesday night and today around 6 p.m. uh I got a voiceover audition request for my agents and so I need to film it because it's due by tomorrow morning so I'm just gonna go ahead and do it now because if I was to wait to tomorrow my voice would be really groggy in the morning and also I want to get it to them as soon as possible so thankfully I have my voiceover stuff set up here because it's pretty late and I need to record this audition and send it over um I was attempting to record the audition that I needed to record and vlogging um and it sounded really really bad but thankfully my boyfriend is a lot more musically talented than I am so he helped me with some note cards and he's having me practice with my guitar that I've had for a very long time but I don't actually know how to play so I'm gonna try it sounds so bad I'm gonna try and um practice the note so that I can record it again and it can sound better because I'm gonna be helping a friend with a self-tape audition tomorrow I told them I would send this recording of my voice in by tomorrow before lunch and I need to help my friend also and I have other stuff to do so I really want to get this down today and send it over I filmed my voiceover audition and before I sent that over I started recording this when I'm trapped in this but I already filmed or recorded that voiceover audition so I just have to edit it and send it over it's like midnight right yeah it's midnight so it's not like my agents are gonna maybe they are anyway I'll get it to them very very soon but I got distracted by this other recording that I also have to send over so good morning I'm practicing I just did a bunch of voice exercises where I still feel like yes so I've been practicing this morning for a little bit and I can't see myself getting better at being able to match the pitch note still not sure what those two are I know a note is like this one of these but then the pitch it's like you're too high on the pitch I have no idea I should have paid more attention in my musical theater class in college and should have been practicing anyway I really I jokingly told my boyfriend I'm gonna start that callback voice voice audition by saying look I'm not the one you're looking for I do think I can do it on the guitar and be able to match the guitar but the problem is that I need to listen to the song and then record my voice separately and do it with the song so they can play it with the song it's just it's really hard for me well I wouldn't say this is going well I believe that if you aren't a good singer you aren't a good singer I always hear people are like anybody can become a singer you just have to train yourself and I do I definitely this last night and today have been able to match a pitch a lot better but it still sounds terrible to me and what I'm trying to do is listen to the song on my headphones and also record my voice as I'm going so that I can hear myself if I'm matching but it just doesn't sound so good over there but when I play with the guitar it's like I can hear it a lot better okay by the way I I did not audition for a singing part I think what happened was that I auditioned for a different part that didn't have any singing sections and then they had me read for this other character that did have is part of a band it's backup singer and plays tambourine so then they assumed that I could do that so I didn't you know I didn't submit myself to something that I knew I was going to sing so this is them asking me to do this and this is me delivering the best I can the best of my to the best of my ability as of today but definitely I'm going to tell you that this has changed I'm not going to say it's changed my life but it's changed my opinions on that you know practicing singing because usually I'm like no I'm not going to practice singing because I know I'm bad but I should practice singing so that I know I can at least match to what they want me to sing because even honestly even happy birthday I feel like there's a part where you you you I wish I was kidding and and I'm not embarrassed at all of being a bad singer because I know I'm a bad singer it's not like I'm pretending to be Christina Aguilera singing like this okay I definitely definitely need some singing lessons I was doing I was doing some voice warm-ups while I was doing my hair and my makeup and I was actually you know able to follow along and even before my boyfriend left for work I was doing the exercises and he was like good job and I was like oh my god I did think in my head I was able to follow along and match the pitch and the exercise but to have somebody else tell me you are doing it right is a good sign because sometimes in the past I just couldn't hear the difference I was just like it just sounds to me like I'm going like louder or softer whenever I try to match a note also I will stop instead of like instead of doing a slide like a oh like instead of doing that I would go and then stop and listen stop it's Friday and today we have our co-working time where I if you guys didn't watch the vlog last week every Friday I have a co-working time with some of my actor friends and now we also have a dance party on Friday so we did that and right now I did a quick vocal exercise because I do want to start practicing singing at least once a week but I thought every time I get a voiceover audition I should be warming up some kind of way so while I do more research on how to warm up for speaking voice I thought I would do this vocal warm-up for singing because yesterday when I was doing vocal exercises for the song for singing I burped and it was the most open burp I've ever felt and I thought that that seems good that seems like a right thing to feel like an open throat for singing but I do have a voiceover audition uh yesterday afternoon or yesterday evening my agency sent me another voiceover audition so I'm going to film that right or record it right now but I need to go record this voiceover ascended over to my agent so thank you guys so much for watching oh my god um I I was booked I just I just read the first couple of lines of the email but you guys I have been booked um I haven't read enough of the email but I
