Commercial Time!

I have some exciting news! I was selected to be in a commercial! I was individually selected off of my agency's website to be in a commercial that will be filmed next week! I am sooooo excited! I was really shocked when my agent called me, because I was like, "Really, someone wants ME, and they picked ME out of all these beautiful girls?" I still don't know why I was picked, but maybe it's better not to question too much. I think it's partly due to my awesome new headshot, expertly taken by Sarah Roshan of Trulife Photography, I might add.

It's a car wash commercial, and apparently I just have to act with my face, I don't have to say anything at all! This isn't the first time I've been asked to act with my face alone, but apparently I'm pretty good at it. My expressive face always gives me away! I can never play poker, or any card game for that matter, I can never hide it if I'm pissed off, or sad, or constipated!(wink wink) It sucks! But at least now I'm going to be paid for making faces, when all these years I have been punished by my mother for it. "Stop frowning," she would say, "Don't glare at your brother!" Well MOM, now it's paying off!

I can't wait to shoot the commercial! We were actually supposed to shoot it last week, but it was postponed due to some bad weather. Apparently 5+ inches of snowfall is not how they envisioned their car wash commercial. Well, I'm am just going to keep my fingers crossed that next week we have beautiful, sunny weather! March in Colorado- you never know, it could happen.

This is not my first experience being in a commercial, but it is my first lead in one. The other commercials I was in was just as an extra. I did a bank commercial where I just had to sit and listen to the CEO talk and nod my head in agreement. The camera was filming us extras from behind, so you could only see the back of our heads. But I was so excited when I saw my commercial on TV. I was like, "LOOK, that's me, that's my HAIR!" It was pretty cool. The other one I was in was for a sporting goods store, and I got to walk across the background many times, pretend to shop for clothes, and play with golf clubs. They shot it very late at night, so we were in this huge empty store playing with golf clubs at 3am. It was so much FUN!

With this commercial I'm really excited that I'm going to be the "main character" and you're actually going to be able to see my face! I can't wait to do it! I'll let you know how it goes! :)
