Happy '05

'The New Year's come, the watchmen shout...'

Merry New Year. I haven't updated the blog for a while because things have been in transition; finally climbing onto the house ladder with my new flat and a million trips to B&Q. I'm pleased to say that I'm now fully moved in, the wallbed is up and the salsa floor has been laid in my lounge. That's the only thing to be laid in my lounge.

My acting career? City Drama is looking up, but everything else is sedentary. I'm continuing with my acting training on an ad-hoc basis - private voice lessons and occasional classes in Meisner technique - but the business seems as hard as ever and I am still seeking a top-notch Acting Agent. My Commercials Agent is very good (Linda at Hobsons), but the only way to get decent auditions for acting work is through a good agent (rather than a pants/mediocre one). Needless to say, I am fairly confident that my current acting agent is reading this, or if you are, then stop reading it and get me some bloody auditions! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ok. Rant over. Life is actually wonderful - new home, new woman, new houseplant holder, new PDA, new cocktail set and new fireplace. City Drama projects are going to be better than ever this year, with lots of new business prospects already in the pipeline, and I'm also due to be recording some more pieces for Radio 2's Pause for Thought slot. It goes out at 6.15am.

Marketing plan 2005
What would I like for the year? Thank you for asking. My wish list is as follows;

1) A new acting agent.
2) Decent TV acting work (for one of the terrestrial channels).
3) Good Theatre work (London if possible; not fringe - paid work only!).
4) Film & commercial work.
5) Radio Drama work (for good measure. The BBC produce sooooooo many radio plays - how hard can it be to get in with them?!).

That's all. If you think you can help my mission in any way, get in touch! .

Have a great 2005.
