What's been going on...
Well it has been awhile but busy (which is a good thing). Where to start...recently I have decided to submit myself to agents. Which is a trying task. I have tons of pictures and it isn't easy to figure out which headshot to send. I have recently gotten some really good advice about play the part of what I am. Not trying to be something else. I have actually found some really nice headshots by taken old bodyshots and cropping them really close on my face. I looked at the agencies websites to see what looks they have and when submitting sent headshots that look somewhat like what they have but with my personality on it. So we will see what comes of that. Next my biggest project that is coming up in Oct. (which is 10 weeks away). I know time is going to fly by and it will be here before I know it. So I am preparing myself for the lead role, Karen, in 'Hear Me Whisper'. I know I have to talked about it already but the writer/director M.A. Mohammad has added even more suspense and scary things to this already intense psychological thriller. Karen is one of the most complex characters I have had the chance to play. So I have been reading threw the script and beginning to dive deep and deeper into he mind. She is in my head and I can't wait to see her on the big screen. There has been some amazing things going on with the production side of the film. I will let you guys now as soon as I can. As far as the North Texas Mini Film Festival goes it is going along wonderfully. We may have some really big sponsors providing their products during the event which will be amazing. Also looks like it will be a red carpet event with all the bells and whistles!! Super excited. My husband, Todd Besser, has come on board to help me in getting this event to come to life. He is amazing and with his help I know I can make this an even bigger event. As far as auditioning goes, I have taken a little hiatus. But with God's help and my new agent (once I hear back from all the agents) I will be auditioning for bigger (and more pay) roles. If you haven't heard, the new 'Dallas' from TNT will start filming again in Oct., and I look forward to getting a speaking role on the show. So I am awaiting responses from agents. I'm working on studying and become "Karen" for 'Hear Me Whisper'. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

What's been going on...
Well it has been a while and I'm sorry for that. I have been super busy. I have been doing auditions for several SAG Ultra Low Budget films. We will see if I get any callbacks. Also I have been studying my script for 'Hear Me Whisper' which is the psychological thriller feature film that I am lead in. You can see the promo for the film on my website under HMW page. I am diving into my character, she is an amazing and difficult character. Just from doing the promo I have grown as an actress. Right now I'm starting a workout plan to get my cardio up because in the film I have not only a lot of running but I have other physical things I will be doing. We are looking to start filming in October with pre-production in Sept. We even found a city that would let us film anywhere. Once we get 'Hear Me Whisper' green-lit and ready to start filming, we'll submit my films to the production company. Had a little hiccup in putting the festival together but it will get done and this year will be amazing. I have met with an agent who is from LA. He is helping get the right look so that he can submit me to projects. He has also helped me realize that I don't need all the crazy stuff that I had on my website. Which here is a pointer for any other actors with a website out there. Minimal is better than over doing it. Which if you have seen my website I have redone it completely. Check it out and see what I mean minimal. Also when going to take head/body shots watch commercials, see how the people (that are your age) are dressed. Your headshots should look as if they can take you and just put you in the commercial. Have a business look, going out look, and play look. But make sure it's not you trying to be someone else be yourself. There probably more that I am forgetting but this is all I can think of. I will continue to send my information into casting directors for roles.
