Hello World!!!

Hello world!  So now that I've graduated from my Advanced Performance Diploma, I thought it was about time I get myself a website come bloggy type thingy.  So here I am.  At the moment I'm trying to line up as many auditions and castings as possible; of course ideally I'll get the job but realistically it's all great experience and a fantastic networking opportunity - the old saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know" has already become apparent and I've only been looking for work for about a month now!

So a little bit about me - don't want to bore you all silly.....  I worked in the corporate world for about 15 years as a PA and then Project Manager whilst doing lots of amateur dramatics and singing lessons.  A couple of years ago I decided that enough was enough and I couldn't do the 9 - 5 anymore (or what was usually 9 - 7!!) and needed to try to work as an Actor so I threw in the towel at work and started part time courses whilst temping before moving onto a full time Advanced Performance Diploma which I loved.  I act, dance and sing; I love a bit of jazz hands but also appreciate the exceptionally hard work it takes to be an actor.  Here's hoping I can put that hard work into practice some time soon.

Thanks for reading!  Ciao for now!!
