    Hey guys!

    I know I've said in chat a few times about how i've been busy making resumes and going to acting classes and such, and some of you were interested. So I thought I'd make a follow-up post letting the ones who are know what's going on.

    So if you didn't know, I took acting classes over the course of 6 months with the International Performing Arts Academy [IPAA], and just recently graduated on October 22nd. We had a big showcase where agents were present and it was a great time. I didn't get approached there, nobody did.

    For those of you who don't know, an agent is a person that finds you audidtions, whether it be for a movie, commercial, or television series, that's their job. In this world it's very hard to get one, but the bright side is when you get one, you don't pay a penny to them. They take a percantage of the money you earn from the jobs you book that they found for you. So if they don't work, they don't get paid.

    So like I said, nobody got approached by one there. But the class package we purchased included complmentary head-shots.

    Head-shots are pictures of you that attatch to your resume when you send it in to a casting director to see if you look the role, one of the most important elements in the entertainment buisness.

    But what I didn't know, is that there was going to be audidtions there for something else. I was suprised and pumped when I saw it in the informational packet. So we had auditions for "Agents" but in reality it was for talent scouts for the International Perfoming Arts Showcase. I audidtoned there, and got called back! This is a HUGE achievement as only 300 people in the whole country get to attend this showcase, and for me to get picked, meant the world. There are going to be many agents there, 55 I believe. The best of the best. Ones from:

    Fox, ABC, ABC Kids, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, MTV, and all the major TV stations.

    Casting directors will also be there too.

    So after some discussion, my mom and I decided that this is what I'm doing with my life, and this would be what gets me started.

    So in the end, we did it. On June 28th-July 1st I will be flying out to Los Angeles Calfironia to participate and hopefully get signed. Over the next 9 months there are going to be 8-hour training sessions each month to help me prepare for this. And in March or May I think it is, there's a 7.5-hour photo shoot! That's gonna be pretty sweet.

    Se here's the link to the video, if you guys wanna check it out. I think it's pretty cool, and most of you would enjoy it:


    So that's it guys! Just wanted to keep you posted, and inform the one who didn't know.​
