A very pressing question at this precise moment. I have been approached by an agent well more accurately I sent a letter to many agents when I was in Macbeth, and none of them showed the slightest bit of interest. However, one of the members of the cast knows this agent and when they were in his office the other day saw my C.V. on the side and mentioned that he knew me and arranged a meeting for Friday (which I can't do as it clashes with an audition). Now this is good, it is positive...I know. BUT, the agency is based in Bolton and as I randomly clicked on the some of their clients they had either not worked at all this year, or had done very small insignificant jobs. Now I know that I won't get a great agent straight away but one based in London or Manchester would be good. Plus I need to know that they have good contacts, I need to know that the work I'll be put forward for is much better quality than I could ever get for myself. And most importantly my gut instinct is not good.......BUT, will this be the only agent that approaches me...ever? Am I cutting off my Nose despite my face? Will I regret this in the future? should I just meet him anyway?....I need to have a proper think.
Anywho that is where I am with my career at the mo. I can't remember if I mentioned it on here but I have a showcase coming up in Manchester, which merges new writers and new actors, and my script is cool, so that might bring something good.
In other news I finally tracked down a coat that I have wanted ever since the River Island splurge day. It was in another shop but wasn't in my size, I kept checking online, I even had my Mum checking other stores in Selby. Anyway this story ends with me going into Northallerton and asking there, at which point the woman rang Harrogate and they had the coat in my size. And would hold it till the end of the day. Brilliant I thought. so I went and taught my lesson in a school. Came out and at this point it was 4.25 I was pretty sure that the shop closed at 5:30. So I tapped into my sat nav Harrogate and then discovered it was 40 miles away. So I drove like a mad woman and finally arrived in Harrogate at 5:20. I then parked and ran (actually ran) through Victoria Car park, through the hall thing that passes over the train line through TK Max and down two escalators. The Escalators down to the shop I was going in had already stopped and when I got in the woman said they were shut, and i was like" no I have a coat saved". Anywho she let me buy it with the only till that was still open, and I left feeling slightly daft but mostly quite smug. And when I got it home and tried it on, I discovered it was missing a button! Gah! I think I can fix it though. Pff.
Well I should now get ready for work now.
Au revoir.
