Page Parkes Acting Camp!!

Sorry I haven't been on sooner but been away from a internet. Also was a little bummed that the hotel that I was staying at for the acting camp didn't have wifi. All I can say about the camp is WOW!!! Started on the Fri.the 21st at 9 am in Houston (which I got up at 2 am to drive down there) meet up at the hotel, got room keys then headed to the Page Parkes Center for Modeling and Acting. When we first got there we had orientation and then we took a tour. It was a very cool place. What I thought was really cool was that Page.713 was right across the hall. We got to go and check it out. Then it we were divided up into 2 groups and I was in group A. First it was make over time. When I got there it was hair color changing time and hair cut. I am now a really DIRTY DIRTY blonde. I loved my hairstylist Tane (he was also Page Parkes hairstylist). I also got to meet and shake Page's hand. She is a very cool lady. Also during that I had my eyebrows threaded!! OUCH!! The weirdest sensation ever!! After make over was time for lunch. Then Photoposing class with an incredible lady who has been in the business a long time, Nickie. She was very fun and energetic. Then on to Acting class with Sara, very awesome lady. She was also funny!! I got some really great pointers on what they thought of my commercial that I was doing for my audition (which was on Sun.) to get into the agency. Actually I will be submitted to 2 different companies, Page.713 (Houston) and Page Parkes Management (Dallas). It would be cool to get into both, mostly Page.713 since it is the agency. After that it was time for dinner. Got to meet and hangout with some incredible people. Then it was back to the hotel for sleep before the big day of the photoshoot. Had to be in lobby at 8am for breakfast at hotel (the hotel's breakfast was delicious!!). Then it was off to the photographer's studio. We got to the studio and there were 2 makeup artists/hairstylist and 2 stylist!! Group A had Wendy and she was very cool. She airbrushed my face, which is a first for me. We had 3 different looks. First for make-up and hair it was all natural. I was a blank canvas that is to make it easier for casting directors to see what they have to work with. I was wearing my skinny jeans, a white dressy tank that had necklaces on it, and a pink jacket. Then for the second look just added very little make-up but hair got curled (it looked super cute). I was wearing blank dress pants, gray tank with black lace, and a black blazer. And last was really sophisticated make-up and hair (loved my hair, actually everything). In a like a plum colored dress with a black small jacket and black belt. It was so much fun but a very long day. It was to dinner than back to the hotel. When we got there I suggested that a couple of us practice in front of each other to help get pointers and to see if we were doing good. Again it was 8 am for breakfast (loved it!) but this time had to be completely packed and ready to go. I had to get my car out of packing so I had to be down there sooner than that. Then it was off to the Page Parkes Center for Modeling and Acting where it was off to skin care and make-up class. After that was Imrov!! (Love Improv) it was with Nickie and found out we would be doing a 2 person improv audition before our commercials. Than it was rehearsal time before the big time. I had a really cool girl as my partner in the improv audition part. Audition WENT INCREDIBLE!!! Then found out it will be 6 weeks before I find anything out if I got with Page.713 or even Page Parkes Management. Also that is when my new portfolio, negatives, CD, and all the other goodies will be coming in the mail. Then it was time to drive home and man did I miss my family. So all and all a really great and exciting weekend. I have still be submitting to several films in the area. Also worked on 'Chase' on Jan. 19th, got to play to different characters. Now it's a waiting game finding out if I got the agency I wanted. I will let you all know what I hear. So for now we shall see what tomorrow brings.
