today is my birthday

Dear Mama and Daddy, resting peacefully in Heaven….. Thanks for bringing me into the world on this day so many years ago. Hopefully, you are watching every move I make, proud of me for the things I have accomplished thus far in this journey. There are many others yet to be realized. I love you both with my whole heart 🙂 xoxo

dance like nobody is watching

Did I mention I’m a dancer? Too petite for ballet, despite studying it my entire life, I chose the modern path, or ‘contemporary’ as it’s called now. Went to college on several dance scholarships and got my BA degree, which went into a box bound for Hollyweird. Although the diploma is still in a box somewhere, I did muster up the motivation to drag out my leg warmers and dust off my dancing feet before putting them one in front of the other on my way to an audition for an experimental and improvisational physical theatre/dance company called MiModa Jazzo. All this, after retiring for a about 10 years in favor of having The Girls. Made the cut….whew!!! That was a year ago, and what a long strange trip it’s been! But I am proud to say that I got back on the horse. If you want to see what I’ve done, watch below for a glimpse.

Do I sound like a cartoon character?

Well, I sure hope so! After many years of saying (to The Man) “I’d really like to voice a cartoon character”, an opportunity presented itself. Once the initial “deer in headlights” moment passed, I got down to work. 2 scenes, 3 different ways. And I did it, all from the comfort of my own home while wearing my pajamas and using the Voice Memo app on my beloved iPhone!! Picked my favorite versions, and off the audition went via email 🙂 Technology is just the best, isn’t it? That is, besides being in the entertainment industry!!

Not to worry. If my voice happens to make the grade for this big budget, animated feature, and will be headed to a theatre near you in the future……you’ll hear about it!

new pics….un-retouched. and i love them anyway.

Got new headshots yesterday. Then went out with my entertainment biz mommy group because I didn’t want to waste the hair and makeup job. LOL. Had a great time with super cool peeps. Woke up with giant headache this morning though. That’s what I get for having the happy hour menu margarita instead of the organic one, right? Anyway, here’s a peek. Must give credit where credit is due…..AMY BARNARD is a photographer like no other. SHE F-ING ROCKS SUPREME!!!!
