YAY!!

I had been going back and forth since March about getting professional representation. There are 40 or 50 agencies here in Hawaii but only 2 are considered credible. And by credible, I mean they are regulated through various union rules to limit exploitation.

Anyway, the thing about getting an agent is that you basically have to go to an agency, make a case for yourself, and audition. And then you have to hope to get a call back for a second audition or hope for a call saying they will (or won't) represent you. . .

I'm not gonna lie, the thought of going through that process was nerve racking. So much so that I didn't know if I wanted to try and sign with anyone until I felt ready for rejection. (Do you love that defeatist attitude??).

But months and months ago, I had made a goal to get my nerve up by December and then to start inquiring to the 2 agencies.

Well, it's December and my nerve wasn't "up" at all! I wasn't ready. But I decided to go ahead with my goal. I have a couple of friends who recommended one of the two agencies so I emailed that one. This particular agency, by the way, historically represents MODELS.

Now before you fall out of your chair, this agency has been around forever. They are well known and well respected. Recently, about 15 years ago (i think), they started taking "talent" in addition to print and runway models and again, since they are highly respected and one of 2 SAG affiliated companies, I was excited to be able to read for them.

Long story short, I expected to at least get a call back. But instead, I walked in, peed my pants, auditioned, and was handed a contract not minutes after the audition. I signed the contract so it's official as of today! I am represented by Kathy Muller Talent and Modeling Agency!!!

Kind of a big deal for me. And since big deals for me are so few and far between, I wanted to share.

Also, if you are planning to make a multi-million dollar film in the near future, I wanted to make sure you have my new contact info!! ;)
