I graduated from CSB last Thursday. We finished our TV final and it turned out really good. CSB has 4 phases.
Phase 1- Class instruction
Phase 2- Creating demos
Phase 3- Interviews and getting a job
Phase 4- Keeping a job and growing in your career
So, I'm in phase 2 and since I already have a voice demo, I can send it to agencies to get the ball rolling. As a graduate of CSB, we are expected to make top notch demos. It makes sense. If you put a little extra work and time into a demo, yours will stand out above the lesser quality ones. So, I'm going to be putting together at least 2 demos...one for infomercial work and one for hosting. NY has a television station sponsored by the mayor's office. The shows are really informative and a bit cheesy but they are always looking for fresh talent so I'm going to give it a shot. Also, I have an interview set up with A&E on the 27th. A&E is the company that has the History Channel, A&E Network, etc. So, please pray for all these avenues I'm pursuing that something would pan out and God would show me the right path to follow. I'm really wanting to stay here in NY because this is where the opportunities are, and this feels like the place I belong, at least for now anyway. California is great for radio and on screen acting, NY is the place for what I am interested in. Tomorrow I am going to a live taping of Montel Williams. I'm trying to take advantage of every possible opportunity that will allow me to meet people in the broadcasting industry.
Beyond, broadcasting stuff...I had a nice visit with a friend over the holiday weekend. We battled Hurricane Ernesto as it ripped through NY. It poured! I'm learning about sample sales. Fun times! And it's really starting to cool off so all my winter-type clothes are on their way out here. Thankfully, I do have my job with Sylvan and they are willing to give me as many hours every week as I need. So, until I get a steady job in broadcasting or some voice overs, at least I have Sylvan.
That's it for now. Thanks to everyone for reading my blog postings, I love reading all your comments.
