Here’s one reality show that can actually be considered homework…for actors! Being a part of AMC’s The Pitch, airing tomorrow night at 8pm PST/11pm EST, was a lot of fun. A few months back, I was psyched to be chosen as the voice to represent ad agency Neuron Syndicate’s campaign pitch for Tommy Bahama.
It was 10 years ago today that I set out on a plane with two bags and an unknown future ahead of me. I landed at the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn in Studio City for a week long “audition for the LA agents” week that ended up being the next decade of my life.
I remember I woke up early the next morning and took a walk down to Ventura. I was looking for something to eat and stumbled upon the big Ralph’s grocery store. I went inside where I immediately saw William H. Macy in the produce section. Wow, stars really are everywhere! I smiled at him but was afraid to say hi.
Well the dust has settled and I think I’m finally recovered from my week in NY for APAC (Audio Publisher’s Association Conference) and the Audies. It is always such a great time, but definitely a whole lot of output. Combined with a weekend jaunt upstate to visit my family, it was an action-packed seven day…
June is Audio Book month and we’re celebrating. Just back from APAC (Audiobook Publisher’s Association Conference) in New York and definitely feeling the love for our tight knit and talented community! Audiobook peeps are some of the nicest and most interesting people in the world. I sat down last night with my good friend and…
I am working from home today, as I do many days, and I am musing on how to be nicer to myself through this. It can be difficult. Lonely and freaky sometimes, especially for “people” people. I have been trying to figure out a way to enjoy myself more, worry less and actually be…
Last year I had a strong impulse to organize and execute a group vision boarding party at the beginning of the year. I had done vision boards before and found it to be a very powerful experience. I kept thinking about it and thinking about it…and ultimately never did it. On Friday I facilitated a…
I love a day dedicated to Thanksgiving…and I love the idea of Thanksgiving being a verb rather than (or in addition to) a noun. As I browse through Social Media on this day, I am in love with all my smart and gracious friends and family who know this and are actively giving thanks today…
Last week I had a pretty big vo session. I was psyched. The session began and the first thing the director said was “So, Rachel are you familiar with the campaign we have running right now?” My, was I happy to be able to say yes… and actually be telling the truth! Years ago I…
August is always a special month for me. I find myself in reflection mode. Not only is it the happy month of my wedding anniversary, but it’s also the month I moved to LA and started my incredible West Coast journey. I had always wanted to live in California. I had been living in NYC…
I have really been enjoying the Olympics. It’s so inspiring. Most of all, I love watching the athletes who win gold. Who doesn’t? I love watching that seemingly effortless performance – the ultimate expression of someone at the top of their game. It’s what we’re in pursuit of as creatives: being so in sync and…
