Jared blog like a log

Well, it's been about a month since my last post. I haven't been writing lately because I've been fairly self-absorbed. And I'm wondering about the value of blogging my thoughts in the first place. But I'll oblige as I like the idea of my own personal nook as a window to my soul. Or something less lofty.

My temp job ended today, with nothing lined up right now.

I got new headshots recently, and I'm pretty happy with the lot of them. I got monologue coaching recently from a local actor, from who I got a recommendation to potentially sign with a talent agency (we'll see if this materializes into anything tangible). I am hankering to do a voiceover demo, but I have no idea right now if it's feasible or if I'm marketable for that sort of thing.

Related voiceover anecdote: At our overnight high school graduating party, we were pulled aside to do a video documentary 2 at a time. My friend Sam and I went into the coaches room and were interviewed by some radio guy about what we'd be up to 5 years from now. Sam's response: finishing up his first year of law school. My response: doing all the cartoon voices for NBC Saturday morning. Guess who nailed their prediction?

Meanwhile, I'm working on my Fringe show. Hitting a few snags here and there, but I am feeling fulfilled by tackling the project and getting it out of my system. First rehearsal is next Tuesday.

And the beat goes on...
