Home auditions and Porgi Amor

Hi all,

Have just looked at when i last blogged and i have to admit it's a poor effort on my behalf, however we were all struck down with the flu virus after Christmas ( not fun with an 8 month old baby, well not fun at all but makes it harder when you're a Mummy as you can't rest yourself ) But we are all fighting fit now and the past week has been so busy. My days with Hugo usually start around 7am ( sometimes later ) and we have been trampolining, to play parks, beaches and feeding the ducks as well as visiting numerous coffee shops and eating cake too. Having a baby makes things more expensive as i eat out a lot more now as it's impossible to stay in most of the day with a bustling baby.

On the work front I have been very fortunate to have done a couple of home auditions, one of them was particularly good fun as it was set in a similar genre to Merlin and with the hubby being a director we got a little bit carried away with the finishing touches.....let's just say we got a little bit creative ;0) You may or may not know but I am also a Musical Theatre actress, Well....I haven't been in any Musicals over the last few years (and I certainly don't do things by halves) so when I agreed to audition this great part singing Porgi Amor from 'The Marriage of Figaro' was part of the audition process. Better get my operatic voice in tune, the last opera i did was Yeoman of the Guard way back! It's not for a couple of weeks so i will have to get practice in when i can. I am delighted to say that the award winning short film I did called 'Plastic Love' will be available to download on Valentines Day ( a twisted treat for all you lovers out their) so if you fancy watching a film with a difference give this a go but be warned it's not for the faint hearted.

It was a sad day for the acting world when news of Philip Seymour Hoffman's untimely death came to light. He had a magic way of bringing charisma to madness and despair. An actors' actor through and through.

Well, the year is whizzing by already and this year I am determined to make the most of every second, especially with Hugo and my husband. People and time are precious.
