Money, money, money

People may  not understand the amount of dollars it takes to attempt to be a professional actor. Lemme just tell you, it takes a small fortune. Here is a small list of things to help you get the picture:

• headshots which cost hundreds out here
• sheet music
• printing headshots, resumes, and sheet music
• audition clothes
• voice lessons
• coaching sessions for your big auditions
• rehearsal pianists
• acting classes
• workshops with casting directors which are the best way to get in front of them
• broadway shows to stay in the loop

The list goes on, my friends. The list goes on. Now add cost of living.

On my limited budget, it's annoying/frustrating. Some days I wish I had a sponsor to help a lady out, but it's nice to know I'm making it work on my own like a big girl. You know, satisfaction. 

If I'm ever need some inspiration I turn to this video to keep me going.

Bernadette kills it. She had the flu, you guys. Sometimes her voice is a little grating on my eardrums, but not this time. She makes me bawl.She even does her classic Bernadette shimmy! If I can someday inspire someone like this does me, I will continue to shell out the few dollars I have to make it happen. 

To those of you who are thinking about moving out here, start saving now. 

The church of theater is true. Amen.
