Hi everyone,
It's been a busy and exciting first quarter of the year. 17 castings, 7 callbacks and 1 booking, a re-release of a film I did in 2009 and still 2 jobs remain in the pipe-line.

My goals for this year are to book and shoot my first 2 Prime-Time TV shows from my target list (my top 10). Perfect my Standard American accent, and book and shoot 2 more national commercials using my newly perfected American accent!

Thanks for reading.

October has been a great month so far. I shoot my third gig of the month on Halloween, I've taken my first trip back to the UK in almost 7 years and my lovely hubbby, the super talented Martin Jago www.martinjago.net has had his second book published and is currently directing what should prove to be a very exciting production of Hamlet.

September buzz

9/14/2012

It's all very exciting! Being on the front cover of Variety was one thing, being on the front cover of your husband's book is another. I'm so proud to have been part of this great work. It's an excellent book for all actors of all levels. I wish it was around when I started out - petrified of the bard! This is an easy, accessible and brilliantly written book with a forward by the very generous and hugely talented, Alfred Molina.

Thanks to all those that gave their time, effort and support.

To Play Or Not To Play: 50 Games for Acting Shakespeare is now available! Grab a copy, you'll be glad you did!

It's been a full year since joining SAG, put this and the global recession into the mix and we almost came to a standstill. It's taken a while for things to reboot. However, it's been an excellent start to 2012 so far. The auditions are coming thick and fast... and we're off.

I was so excited to cast my first vote for my fellow actors in the SAG Awards. It's The Actor's Award, one I will be so proud to receive in the future.

November 20111

Since joining SAG things have slowed a little...... However,in preparation for the pilot season, I've reunited with my manager and I'm hoping that together we can generate some interest. Currently focusing on up-dating my tools/pics etc and doing all things comic - very scary!!! This should help and finally I need to add some American footage to my reel. Not so easy as its my British accent that they are usually interested in....

Well that's all for now, will get back when I have more exciting news to share.

My best wishes to all the wonderful people out there who have in one way or another helped me survive not only this business but the crushing recession too. Thank you, you know who you are!
