A update on things...
As you know, I recently got new headshots by Peter Dressel. We both liked our session so much that he offered me another session when he moved into a brand new studio! See some of the new shots here- I am really happy with my mix of studio and natural lighting shots!
Even on vacation you're never far away from networking. While out at dinner in Washington DC, I became acquainted with a regular of the restaurant who turned out to be the president of an educational multimedia company. Upon returning home, I had an email in my inbox with a proposal for a series of industrial videos. This producer has not worked with SAG actors before, so I am going to walk him through the process and hopefully he will hire union talent for this project!
I just finished a mailing to a couple of agents who have been referred to me by some other industry folks, and I am looking forward to setting up those appointments to see if we are a good match. In the meantime, I continue to self submit, polish my audition skills, and practice my craft. What a wonderful life!
Addendum: Per a comment below, here is a sneak peek at the photo session:

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog!
I'm just curious. How much does Peter Dressel charge?
I believe his regular rate is $300, which is so much cheaper than many photographers in NYC. What's nice is that he has a huge loft in Brooklyn with access to both studio and natural lighting, so you will have a lot of styles to choose from. He's also a master retoucher, so if there are adjustments that need to be made, your photo will NOT look retouched.
