 This week I have a couple of fun things. I'm filming a commercial with a company that I worked with really recently. They hired me for another commercial around the same subject in Spanish and I am rehearsing the script right now. So I just did this for a few minutes and because it's in Spanish, I'm also rehearsing it with my mom so she can let me know if I'm saying everything correctly or not. And then I just got this chip chart from Savage because I am not sure what color exactly my gray is. I got my gray in person at a Mike's camera store. I didn't save the tag or anything and so I got one of these and so I'm going to show you guys exactly the gray that I have because the gray one is the one I use primarily for my audition. So people will sometime ask me what color is your gray and my apartment is a little bit of a mess right now but I have my backdrops right here so let's take a look and see exactly what mine is. I thought it was fashion gray but just like looking at it when I looked at this I was like I don't think I have fashion gray. I moved closer to a window to see if this would let us see it better with natural lighting and I'm trying to make sure that the camera is showing what I'm seeing as well. It looks like mine is actually going to be either focus gray or stone gray. Is mine stone gray? When I was looking at this color chart in the living room next to my computer I could have swore it was focus gray but now that I'm seeing it here I'm pretty sure it's actually stone gray. They're so, they're so so so similar. The road mic I used to use for basically all of my videos I took it out and it sounded super crackly and terrible and I've just noticed it's not doing so great. So I just went to a camera store and I got a smart mic which it just clicks right into the like the headphone jack so I will be using this when I use my gimbal and then I got this other one it's called Lightweight on Camera Microphone and it's a road mic so it's a little bit bigger and yes I'm really excited to film some stuff right now I'm just using the audio from my phone but let me see if I can put it in right now. It's only $25 so it's not bad. It's a Ceremonic smart mic. So I just got out of a shoot and I of course couldn't film anything in there because you know but I'll tell you about it as soon as I can I'll put the link in the description but I have a call at 1 p.m. and right now it's 12 30 my friend lives nearby so I just texted her I was like can I come to your apartment and take a call at 1 in like your backyard or something I just don't want to be in my car while trying to take the call but the shoot was super fun it's with somebody that I've worked with once before and it's a similar it's basically the same product just a little bit more about that product and this time was a little bit longer because the script was longer teleprompter which I have only worked with a couple of times but everybody here is so nice I love this production team they're they're just really nice patient prepared I love them why are salads so good wait not always sometimes you have to buy the right stuff I'm having lunch and I decided on a healthy salad and I'm feeling a lot more relaxed today so yesterday also happy Mexican Independence Day today I always wish I was in Mexico today or last night to tonight or to today because midnight to the 16th it's like Mexican New Years I don't know it's really fun but I am feeling a lot better today I had been feeling really anxious for the past honestly a couple of weeks because YouTube reached out and they have been amazing to work with YouTube reached out and was like can we feature you we don't want to feature you unless you're okay with it because it can come with a lot of negativity blah blah blah so they just made me feel really comfortable and thank you so much if you're subscribed to my channel you're new welcome oh my gosh thanks thank you so much for subscribing that's so sweet of you or if you're just watching a video thank you but since yesterday I've gained about 300 subscribers which is a lot it's scary I was anxious because it's scary to think that maybe a bunch of people are gonna come look at you and come look at this it's like my baby my YouTube channel is like my baby I I've worked on it for so long I have around 430ish public videos and I have privated a lot of videos just because they're not about acting but um yeah I'm feeling so much better I'm eating something healthy tomorrow Friday I'm gonna have a call with Vitoria vitoria vitoria I still don't I'm not sure how to pronounce her name wait do you do you prefer an English pronunciation or it's what I've always been around but I actually that's the first time I've ever anyone's ever asked me I actually don't know yeah because most people like Vitoria yeah don't worry you can call me V too a lot of people call me V so whatever whatever you prefer no no no she has a YouTube channel I will definitely feature her in one of my videos this month but I have a meeting with her and then with Javi Javier who are filmmakers and actors and we're going to be filming some things this weekend and so on Friday we're gonna have a production meeting and we're gonna talk about the scripts and I'm just really excited to be filming with some friends it's so cool we're all vaccinated we're all careful but yeah I'm feeling pretty good I hope I continue to feel like this last night I could hardly sleep like my body is just full of anxiety for no reason well for reasons but I need to chill cuz those reas like I'm whenever I get a lot of anxiety I'm like look look you're okay you're you're solid right now you're fine nothing is happening it's Friday and I got a package today so I've had these like background mounts for a while I got them on Amazon and they're okay just sometimes they're a little wobbly and now that I'm doing even my full-body shop for auditions with these backdrops or these paper backdrops and like stepping on them it's really hard they're super flimsy and then I have a really long backdrop that just doesn't do well with these and it's barely long enough so I contacted Savage and I was like can you guys send me like a mount so I got it so I'm gonna open it right now and test it out the once I got from Amazon these ones I've had them for a while and they were only around $30 and like I said they're okay but they're just annoying especially when it gets hot and you just really want to set everything up easily it's annoying so we're gonna put these let's see comes in a little savage case I've never had a savage case before oh my gosh this feels so sturdy compared to the other one I don't know if it's long enough oh wait there's more I got scared for a second because I thought this was it this length but then there's it keeps going maybe nine feet okay you know what my ceilings are nine feet and this is taller and for these Amazon ones the bottom don't really doesn't really have any protection the savage ones they have this that's nice and thick as you can see and it won't slip as much that's nice okay so I really like it so far because it's really sturdy these things right here you like clamp them in order to secure the stand the bottom of the stand is really wide so you don't have to worry about it not having enough stability where the other one you can adjust how narrow or wide it is which this does take more space but it's also a lot more sturdy I'm very excited to have this and you can see it has so much room I mean this goes almost all the way across my room and something that I was talking about earlier in this vlog is the color I still can't figure out the dang color of it so what I'm gonna do in different linings it looks like either focus gray or stone gray what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cut a piece of this and we're gonna take it outside in natural light so that I can tell you guys which color I actually have but really it doesn't matter it depends on your skin tone what's gonna look better for you but usually grays and blues are good with most skin tones and then they have a lot of grays they have nine grays so let me cut a piece now that I'm outside this definitely looks like fashion gray so I was right all along all right so this is officially fashion gray I have confirmed it with natural lighting because in my bedroom I have philip he lights that are a little bit yellow and then some lights for my plants and then a little bit of natural light coming in so it definitely changes it once you're in here it's so funny I thought it was so many different colors but it's officially fashion gray oh and I ended up returning that big microphone because it was a hundred dollars and I had also bought this other one and I bought a lavalier mic so I was like I don't think I need all of them I tried this one out the one I'm using right now is the mini one and it's working well so I decided to return the other one maybe I'll need it I'll get it in the future if I need it but for now I'm just gonna use this little mic that I have let me show it to you it's this one my ears a little dirty I'll see you guys in a second when it's time to do the zoom call with Victoria and Javi I'll check it out in the morning the script because I'm gonna be doing stuff yeah alright thank you guys I'm so excited oh right it is 10 15 p.m. and we just finished our zoom call so Victoria Javi and I are going to be shooting a short tomorrow and sister is also gonna help us with the sound but right now we just had a meeting Javi, Victoria and I and we talked about the script they had already developed some ideas and then we just went and put some scenes in there and talked about the characters props all of that getting coffee
