How it’s going being a freelance actress during Covid
If you are a an actor or model without representation you already know that Covid has been anything but kind to our careers. If anything it has forced us to be creative and think out side of the box on ways to get gigs and survive. When I say survive I mean more then just financially, but rather survive in a new world that forces us to isolate ourselves despite our natural instinct to perform. The world of in-person castings have been put on pause and if you are anything like me... you absolutely hate Self tapes! This anomalous time that we are living in has forced us to question our sanity. Ive thought to myself "why did I chose this profession! Why couldn't I want a normal job" at least 5 times today even tho I know I don't mean it. For those who may not know, a self tape is a pre-recorded video audition that an actor submits to a casting director. How hard could recording myself be when I take photos and videos of myself all the time?

I have no idea wtf I’m doing... and it’s okay
As I find myself desperately trying to adjust to our new reality it feels as though I am constantly being humbled and reminded by my aggressive mental health to take a breath. Recently I have been overwhelmed by the fact that all while being simultaneously pelted with overall life and the thrills and head aches that come with it, life seem to not be slowing down. I’ve never experienced such a high pace version of life before and I am realizing that literally NO ONE HAS. Im sure the year 2020 has been absolutely crazy for me as it has for a lot of people. During this year we've all experienced a pandemic, historic racial and political movements, and global crisis. We all experienced the same thing and yet will all have different stories. The world has abruptly changed and in order to grow we must adapt. I believe that we all have the power to adjust and grow!
