Hello world! Welcome back to another blog! Here is what I got up to the week commencing 16th October 2023, where I watched an Oscar and Hammerstein classic, being productive on my days off and how I yet had another blip but came out the other side!
Monday: As always it was my early morning shift but not before I watched the rest of Strictly Come Dancing. And I’ll admit I did recap the reaction to Layton and Nikita’s reaction to the scores, as Nikita's face when he and Layton got a ten said it all!
I then headed off to work. I asked my dad a question about something I should do this week, which was between two things happening in Nottingham. I decided to pick the event happening on Wednesday as I’m going to watch The King and I on that day anyway and I needed to return some stuff to primark. So it made sense really. During work I managed to face up everything and even grab and sneaky few rehearsal lines of my script for class, my tapes I need to film for my socials and also go through the practical aesthetics for them as well as a potential actor jam piece. But all was not as it seemed.
During the shift and also noticing it yesterday when I nearly finished I didn’t seem myself. I was quiet, teary, closed off and just tired. Me being the me that I am, it would be at that moment where I may be ill, but after seeing an Instagram story on the early signs of autistic shutdowns and getting overwhelmed with customers asking me questions, that might be the case. So in the meantime, I needed to chill for the rest of the morning and try and get a nap in like I always do when I come back on Mondays.
After my nap I took my dog for a walk. I didn’t get time to watch Gogglebox so I brought my lunch upstairs before I started watching the rest of an Act On This Podcast with Philip Barantini. I was abit late starting but that didn’t matter, as I will simply watch the last 15 minutes later on just before bed. It was still very insightful, as he was very clear that he will make new actors feel as comfortable as possible, and he was also in that position when he was acting, so that does help as well.
When I got up to the point I needed to, I looked at my Succession homework for class. I was surprised by how much I got done, as I went into the state of flow. I also got down a few options on how to play this character, so that will definitely help me decide which ones to use on Wednesdays class. I then looked at my wants from my scripts which I’m filming this week. As mentioned before, I went into more depth with my Doctors inspired tape as I wrote it myself, therefore it needs more backstory. But with the pre-written one, I knew what I had to do to achieve my want, as I previously worked in the hospitality sector before starting at Waitrose. And as long as I knew my want along with the actions to drive the lines I’ll be ready to go into filming knowing what I want I’ll be ready to go.
I then did some relaxing yoga. After the last few days this session was needed to help me release some negative energy. After a quick play with my dog, I then looked at and recorded my Australian accent, taking on board the notes my friend gave me along with recapping notes from my acting class with what my teacher learnt. I’ll be honest, there’s an unlikely change I may not get the role, as I know some people are stronger than others, but I know if I don’t give it a go at least I’ll regret it. During the session I also got a message back from the director of I Used To Be Famous and asked me for my Spotlight reel. I was surprised he even replied as I know directors are so busy generally speaking, but this was an opportunity I don’t want to miss out on.
After walking my dog and having a nice hot shower (as it was starting to get cold), I caught up on last weeks Coronation Street. And boy what a week it was! Stephen Reid certainly had his work cut out, and it had every bit of drama you can imagine. I’m wondering how on earth can you top off that, but with looking at the spoilers for next week I already can’t wait. I then finished the Act On This podcast with the appearance of Lewis Arnold, who did a podcast with Ross last week as I’m writing this. It was lovely seeing Phil’s reaction to him coming on camera and the respect they had for one another is beautiful. Now I can’t wait for the next act on this podcast with the cast and crew of the long shadow.
I then ended the day as always with checking my socials and learning some more Korean and French. I also emailed over two scripts to my actors workshop friend in prep for filming tomorrow. This will then go to my acting pages followed by sending them to casting directors. It my main job was to get it filmed then next week email the casting directors I need to send this off to.
Tuesday: I started off Tuesday by watching the rest of Gogglebox from Friday. This was then followed by a session at the gym. On the way there I ran through lines and also my audition for the Australian voiceover, which I aim to record tomorrow after class. The gym itself was okay but I felt like I could’ve done more. But still feeling the shutdown symptoms I simply gave 100% into what I had, and the important part is I stayed consistent and did something rather than nothing. And that was an achievement in itself. I then did my self-tapes for my socials and to send to casting directors. I surprisingly enjoyed the tapes, and it made me realise how fun it was to express my creativity with everyone. With two more to film this month I hope to carry this process to the new year.
I then relaxed and did some surveys. I mentioned it before but this is one of my favourite past times, and I can earn money from them as well (which I need to look at the payout for ASAP). And it’s definitely rejuvenated me massively. This was then followed by having some lunch and gathering some day player roles and scenes from Coronation Street. There wasn’t many scenes that links to my casting type, so skimming through the week before Stephen's downfall was fairly simple and easy.
To kick off the afternoon I made sure that all of my video diaries were updated and uploaded onto the Google drive. This took a while but with it being Christmas fairly soon and then before I know it the deadline for the royal television society awards, I needed to get it done. Thankfully I’ve got everything up to date and now all I needed to do was to email them to Steve. Before I went out to see my Nan (as it was her birthday the next day but I was out and had a class that day), I just simply chilled out. I know that may not sound as productive, but after my blip on Saturday which caused me to have abit of a shutdown, I needed to preserve my energy I preparation for tomorrow. And also when it comes to actor jam regardless if I get in or not I’ll be recharged and rejuvenated for the event.
I then headed over to my Nans house as it would be her birthday the next day. It was a really lovely chat and it actually helped rejuvenated me, especially after my grandad made a lovely cup of tea. We talked about all sorts of life, from cruises for her next birthday to strictly come dancing. She even mentioned about going for lunch next week, which will be a lovely thing to do. Sometimes it’s moments like this where I know there’s more to life than acting, and sometimes taking a step back is a good thing, as it’ll help me bounce back into the game.
As soon as I got home, as always I took my dog for a walk which then followed by scheduling the next day. I even had a new energy to note some more jobs on Spotlight in the hope my agent will sub me for them. I knew that it would be a team effort, so I'm still working hard to find jobs that suit me, but after my blip there have been many occasions where I have missed the deadline, but that's okay as everything happens for a reason. But sometimes you need to get rid of the good to make room for the great.
I then settled down to watch episode 2 of Boiling Point. Wow! Once again a powerful episode. One thing I’ve learnt from that episode is that not just in acting but in all aspects of life, one negative thing can really take over the positives, as Carly discovered in this episode. This was also a good episode as it highlighted how sometimes the pressure can get too much, as Jamie discovered. I won’t go into detail on what’s happened in fear of spoilers and sensitivity, but when you watch it you’ll know what I mean.
I then moved onto quickly looking at my two Shakespeare’s pieces in prep to show tomorrow at the class if there’s time. I’m taking a big risk so far, as even though I know the pieces before I’ve not put as much effort into them as my other ones. But sometimes in life you have to take risks, as someone the biggest risk in life is to take no risks at all. Let’s just hope this one pays off.
I then ended the day with checking my social media’s (despite there being a technical glitch) and learning some more Korean and French. I actually managed to get all of my daily goals done this time, so now I can just spend the evening relaxing and getting excited for the king and I tomorrow. Yes I still have a lot to do, but I feel that this trip is one I definitely need.
Wednesday: Wednesday was a mixture of self care and productivity. To start with I recapped some scripts for class and also for The Actor jam, which was then followed but some morning yoga to set me up for the day. I was sightly conscious I wouldn't have time to do everything on this day, and that would often lead me to overthink everything. But doing yoga really does help me find piece, and that whatever will be will be. This was then followed by taking my dog for a walk, who would be let out again by my grandad later on that day seeing as i would be out all day.
I then got myself ready as I made my way to Nottingham. I was surprised I managed to do my hair and makeup in time, as it felt as though I was rushing abit. But I did it and I just made the bus that took me to the train. On the way there, I managed to draft down another potential story. This was inspired by the movie Dirty Dancing, with the lead inspired by one of the dancers from Strictly. I was proud of this achievement, as getting started and putting ideas to paper (or in this case on my phone), is the most difficult part. So along with my many other stories, I can't wait to see how this develops.
When I got to Nottingham, I decided to make a day of it. I had a nice cup of tea in a place where I been to before and I sat with the river as my view. It was such a cute place, and I managed to do some homework whilst I was there. These included my script for class and also my tapes for actor jam. There was also a good looking waiter, who I seen before online as he's also a musician. I wanted to talk to him, but I decided not to bother for two reasons. Reason 1, as an autistic individual I don't really get social ques, so I didn't want him to think I'm being odd. Reason 2, he was there to work, not to chat to customers when he felt like it. So unless he initiates a conversation, I didn't bother.
After a quick trip to the shops to get some goodies and returning some stuff to primark (which was a much needed job to do), I then watched The King and I. Before the show a man was playing a piano on the second floor. It was so beautiful, as he played a medley of musical théâtre songs. The piano has always had a calming influence on me, and with the blip I had last week, this was definitely healing for sure. I then watched the show and all I can say was... what a show it was! The beautiful music, the characters and how everything seemed so on point. What a show it was composed by the greats that were Rogers and Hammerstein. I may even do a review of the show in a future blog, so if that's on the cards, watch this space.
On the way back, I bumped into someone from my old workplace, and it was a lovely surprise to see him. We talked about life in general, and I was also quite vulnerable with him, telling him about what happened a few days ago. He was very reassuring, as even though he may not understand autism, he was willing to try, something which not alot of people would do. He then asked me what the show was about, but I couldn't function properly to talk about it, so he mentioned to me about his adventures he's been on recently, and I was intrigued by it.
I then had my acting class. It was a good job I don’t perform my scene tonight, as my brain was literally all over the place. But I had the energy to perform my monologue which was from twelfth night. I know I was taking a risk but sometimes in life you have to. So my only note from my teacher was to not feel it if it’s not there/don’t force a feeling, and also reminded me of my self tape set up. Those were my only notes and since then I’m still wondering which one to submit. I’m tempted to submit both, but with my self written one as well, it’s a difficult call. But I have a few days to decide.
I then recorded my voiceover for the Australian job, where I sent off 2 versions so they have a variety to choose from. As always I then checked my socials and also learnt some Korean and French. I even posted my world on fire review onto my TikTok account, and now I can go to bed knowing that I’ve done that on my list.
Thursday: To start the day off I watched Monday's addition of Hollyoaks. And a new week means new drama, and with Phoenix's confession at the end of the episode, I can't wait to see where this goes. This was then followed by going to the gym, where I'll be honest, I still didn't perform at my best. But as always I didn't give up, but did 100% into what I had. I was going to listen to a podcast that morning, but still not fully functioned, I decided to take in the fresh air on my walk to the gym and back. Someone mentioned to me how to tweak an exercise I was doing to feel more of the benefits. I could see what he meant, but I did an alternate version, as I was able to target that area better.
As soon as I got back and walked my dog, I updated my budgeting table whilst I watched abit more of Doctors. I could tell at this point we are living in a cost of living crisis, as I had to resort to taking money out of my investment account so that I'm not over my budget. But as mentioned before there are some areas where I hardly spend anything at all, so at the end of the month I will look at where I can move some of my budget to and if I need to take out some of my savings.
I then made a start on drafting some emails to casting directors of serial drama, but not before my Nan came round to help me change the bed and cook dinner. This was a fun session, as after tasting scraps of the salmon fishcakes, I can't wait to have mine when I come back from work. My nan did offer to take me to work, but I didn't want to interrupt her birthday meal, ad also I still needed to recharge and have some alone time before I head off to work. As soon as she left, I continued drafting emails to casting directors to those in serial drama to send tomorrow at the very latest. And after finding out that Doctors will finish filming in March and will air until December next year, now was more important than ever to get something sent in order to have at least 2 lines in the show. This was then followed by booking pantomime tickets, where I got three. So if the two original people can't make it I'll have some reserves for those that do want to come.
After quickly having some lunch and watching more of Doctors and Tuesdays addition of Hollyoaks, I then made my way to work. During my journey there I drafted out some posts for my socials which I would put out later on, and even treated myself to a Halloween mask for the night itself (where unless I get invited to a Halloween party, my night in question would be to just order a dominos and watch Corpse Bride).
As I started work, I felt horrible for the first half, as I know people would just bombard me with questions. I know it's my job to answer queries, but it definitely got too much at that point again. It felt like i was a computer on low power mode, and have been like that since last week. Thankfully one of my colleagues, who's also autistic too, checked in on me, and for that I will forever be grateful. During my break I had a snack whilst doing some online surveys. That seem to have done the trick, as during the last part of my shift I actually felt so much better. But then again I firmly believe that it's about the people you meet and not the workplace itself. So even when I do leave, I think I'll miss the people more than the job itself.
I then got home and had my delicious tea whilst I watched another episode of Doctors. I was also going to post one of my self tapes, but I’ve decided to wait until tomorrow as it’ll take abit longer to uploaded it onto YouTube and then to all of my other social media platforms. I then scheduled tomorrow which then led to me having a delicious supper, and I actually felt relaxed in doing so, as because I wasn't at work the next day, I knew there wasn't any pressure on me to get ready. As always to end the day I checked my social media accounts followed by learning some more Korean and French.
Friday: I started the first of my two days off by watching Wednesdays addition of Doctors. I really do feel for Scarlett and thinking about what decision she’ll make, but after a cheeky look at the end, I feel it’s not going to go down well. This was then followed by going to the gym, as I needed to get the exercise in whilst I was off. But I ended up having to get a lift back home, as whilst I was fine walking (even if my bag did get a bit wet), I had to get a lift home due to pouring with rain. I'm so fortunate to have people who can help me get home, as unless I start driving (which won't be for a while), if worst comes to worst a lift back home is essential.
After briefly noting some more jobs on Spotlight, I then moved onto filming my actor jam submissions as practice tapes for the final product. I aim to get some feedback from my AW peers and the act on this community on tapes so that on Monday I can record them knowing I have something to play with. I then sent off my self tapes of my self-written piece and the waitress self-tape to 4 of the serial drama casting directors, to show that I have bene proactive and creative. And with doctors in particular, it's now more important than ever I get at least seen for an audition, as after messing up the last one, I really want to redeem myself.
Before lunch I looked at some audition footage from my group and so far I’m impressed. I’m so surprised by the standard of talent there is, and if there that good on tape I can’t wait to see what the bring to the table on set. But someone said that they gave up because they didn’t know how to do it. Thankfully my colleague was on hand to give them the motivation they needed, so fingers crossed now that they have decided to sign up for a certain role, they will be back in the group.
I then took the dog out for a walk. It’s safe to say she wasn’t happy, as it was due to rain all day today (which it did). But she needed a walk and that was the best time I couldn’t taken her. After briefly washing some pots (which will be revealed later on in this blog), I then had some lunch whilst I watched the first half of the long shadow, where I just felt deflated afterwards after a busy week. It was safe to say that I needed this day off now more than ever, so I used this time to relax, enjoy entertainment and to recharge my batteries.
This afternoon was a productive one. The first thing I did was apply for some new day jobs, hoping to find some more flexible hours to fit around my acting career. For one job I had to take an assessment, but I made the decision to do it the next day, as I needed to be in the right headspace for it. I then also sent one of my stories I wrote a couple of years ago to a friend for feedback. This was important to me, as this was based off an even that took place during the pandemic, and i wanted to make sure from her perspective, it was okay and that I'm not offending anyone. I just need to change one word but other than that she seemed to like it, and i vowed to myself that I would send it her again before I post it. This then led onto working on my other stories, one of which was drafting out a story inspired by Dirty Dancing, which i noted down a few days ago. I loved the format of it, and how I drafted the notes, using imagination in the near future to expand on it. I even recapped briefly my actors workshop story, aiming to get it at least the actual story finished by Christmas, and get it posted during the holidays.
I then hoped on board a rapid fire Friday. I wasn’t going to originally but this couldn’t have come at a more better timing, as I needed to ask a question as to inviting people to actor jam and that regardless if I perform in it or not I’m still going to come and support those who are performing in it. What Ross said was really valuable, and I’ll definitely take it into consideration when I send out those emails.
I then chilled for the evening by doing some surveys and scheduling tomorrow. Thankfully I wasn’t at work in the morning, so I made the decision to work through my co-op application and an assessment at another potential job. Along with doing some more surveys, I also had the gruelling task of washing some of the dishes by hand, as the dishwasher didn’t seem to be working. But I think it's quite satisfying doing it by hand, as it does take your mind off of certain things. But I don't really want to be doing it at Christmas when everyone comes round, so fingers crossed we can get it sorted before then.
I then sat in to watch the film Emily whilst I had my second lot of food I made the day before. This starred Emma Mackey and told the real life story of the Emily Brontë, the author of Wuthering Heights. Wow! Wow! Wow! What a film! I can see why they dated Emma as the lead, as her character Maeve in in Sex Education is so much like Emily. It’s also interesting to see where the ideas come from, and I suspect that Emily herself may be experienced traits of autism, as she always stood out from the crowd and she didn’t communicate much in social gatherings. That’s just my observations, but to also have an imagery of seeking inspiration after loosing a loved one is so fascinating. This film is also an example of how we deal with the negatives and channel it into activities and passions like writing. Something I aim to do more for the rest of this year and the next.
I then watched the first half of Wednesdays Hollyoaks whilst I tweaked up my blog. This was then followed by checking my socials and learning some more Korean and French. I failed to completed a lesson by I managed to complete the final task in my daily goals, so that was a win for me. I also noted some jobs on spotlight and Mandy before I went to sleep. Whilst some jobs were now closed before I wanted to nudge my agent or apply for them (and I blame it due to burnout) there was still time for me to look at the new ones.
Saturday: I didn’t set my alarm so I got up when I felt was right. It was 9am and to start with I uploaded my practice tapes for actor jam to my Google drive and sent it to a group chat for feedback. This was vital now as I need to use the extension without over rehearsing it as much as I can. I also aim to send it to some people from my acting class followed by asking a couple of people if they can help me with a tape inspired by Conversations With Friends tomorrow when I finish work. So far I’ve had no luck but I just need to keep trying.
I then did some nice yoga to start the day off right. Normally I would skip a day off having exercise, but I thought that by having a simple stretch, it’ll put my kind at ease and if I don’t come plate all of todays tasks then at least I had achieved something that morning.
After also taking my dog for a walk (which I had to clean her down after some running number 2s), I then got to work on applying for some more day jobs. I was quite proud of myself as yes even though my main goal is to gain full time acting, I need flexible work so that I can work it around auditions and jobs and also so that if I don’t get any auditions or paid acting work for a while I’ll still have an income to survive on until I do. And with a phone call on Monday for a flexible cleaning jobs (which yes I know it’s cleaning but I’ve seen good things about it) then I may have that chance. I’ll be honest it’s scary as it’ll mean adjusting to a new routine. But as I said before I need to do the things that scare me in order to help me grow and develop as a person.
I then moved onto continuing writing one of my stories. Previously with this one in particular it was hard to get into, but when I remembered that it’s all about imagination but taking elements of my personal life into it to make the piece more authentic, everything made sense. So I may not be able to remember everything from the night that inspired the story, but I can look at clips back and also key points from the night to expand upon. And so far I’ve more or less drafted the ending and did most of the middle. It may not be much but anything is better then, and once you get in the state of flow, then you’ll never want to leave.
During a delicious lunch, I settled into watching episode 3 of series 4 of Sex Education. This one was so heartwarming, as not only does it explain the reason why Ruby is the way she is, but also shows the reality of gender reassignments when Cal questioned Roman on his journey. I also felt sorry for Maeve when Molloy gave her some harsh truth, but I'm hoping all that will change when she sees Otis again.
After tweaking my blog, I then got to work on my actors workshop story. As I’m writing this now I’ve managed to just about draft out the middle section of the sorry. Now all I need to do is look at the beginning as the first draft is done. It’s very hard to write about something that’s memorable to you, because as mentioned before I previously thought I had to remember everything from that night. But just like with monologue writing, yes you can bring elements into your own life to make it more authentic, but by using your imagination it’s the piece of art everyone wants to see. I then moved onto briefly looking at my story inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. I also had to tweak some of the other stuff along with the comment my friend mentioned when she was reading it, but I think next weeks task is to read through it again before I start making the cover and background on wattpad. I then relaxed by starting a new read, which was The Golden Rules of Acting by Andy Nyman. I noticed that it was quite a tiny book, and I can get through it in a week. But I made the decision to split it into 2 sections so next week I’ll be able to finish that book followed by the next one he wrote which was more golden rules of acting. I’m already learning so much from it, some of which I’ve heard before but sometimes you need to hear it for the tenth or even millionth time before you take action.
I then watched the rest of Wednesday's Hollyoaks whilst I updated my budgeting table. Yes I may have spent a lot this month but I’ve noticed that I may be able to fit some of my merchandise money into my budget after not spending so much on makeup and other fitness stuff. This was then followed by scheduling tomorrow followed by a quick survey. As always I then took my dog for a walk (although as you can see above she was more bothered about showing how cute she is than going for a walk lol) and had a nice hot shower. Although I had to stop half way through due to running hot water running out. At that point I started checking my social media stories to see what was happening.
After that dilemma I then watched the rest of episode 4 of The Long Shadow. I felt sorry for the cab driver who kept being taken in for questioning, as he looked like the person people described. But the ending of that episode has seriously got me frustrated, leaving me wanting more. And I just say, David Morris’ performance was incredible, and I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him. This was then followed by watching the start of Strictly Come Dancing, where the judges have noticed a few mistakes already. But mind you it is week 5, meaning that they’ve had a quarter of the way through the series, so they’re bound to get tired. And one celebrity sadly couldn’t do it, as she fell sick. Fingers crossed she makes a swift recovery for next week.
Afterwards, moved onto Thursdays addition of Hollyoaks, where Romeo was still brainwashed by his deceased lover, all while Tony could be in big trouble financially and sienna and Ethan have unfinished business. As you can probably tell lots of drama. This was then followed by the first half of Gogglebox. But towards the end of the first half, I noticed that I got an email from Act On This about my payments. This wasn't the first time it's happened, so they sent me an email to say that if worst comes to worst I can pay the old price using my paypal account. That wasn't a bad shout, as ideally I don't want to increase my membership programme. As usual I then checked my socials (which I started earlier) and then learnt some more Korean and French (with Margo being very helpful as you can see below). But tonight could also mean possibly raising my subscription to act on this if I’m not careful, as my latest one wouldn’t come through again. Ross (the founder of act on this) suggested giving my bank a ring to see what the problem is, as it seems to be working with my other subscriptions, but not for this one. I’ll try when I finish work tomorrow to see what the situation is.
Sunday: I started this day by watching more of Strictly Come Dancing. So far Layton Williams was the best and if he doesn’t get a 40 next week I will be dead surprised. He’s also my favourite to win the whole thing, so I just hope my prediction will be correct. I then headed off to work. I was a little bit disappointed as it wasn’t the same person who covered my regulars shift, but I’ve seen him before and he was alright. When I got to work it was a mixture of emotions. When the shop was closed and I had my music on I felt fine, but then when it opened it was a different story. I felt tense and it was like a volcano was about to erupt. But after chatting to my colleagues about it, it definitely gave me a lot to think about. I then headed home, and whilst I needed to go to the shop, the fresh air actually did me some good. Because I’m filming later this afternoon I may skip some of my tasks to preserve my energy for the tape. I know it’ll mean having to reschedule it again but sometimes it’s moments like this where health takes priority. And as I said before, without your health you have nothing. As soon as I got home, I then watched abit of Strictly whilst I had my lunch. During this show, my thoughts on who would win have now changed, as Adam and Luba's routine was everything and more. I was going to recap some day player roles before I shot my self tape, but because of the morning I’ve had I decided to leave it for later in the week. And also I needed to recharge my batteries, so that I’m rested and recharged for the take.
I then recorded my self tape with the help of my friend from The Actors Workshop Nottingham. This didn’t go to plan at first, as at one point it automatically stopped due to not having enough storage. Despite this I got rid of some apps I can get back and successfully managed to get in a few successful tapes in. I feel like I could’ve done better, but as my teacher would say “getting it done is better than getting it perfect”. And because this is going to be sent to a casting director of a show inspired by this tape, I hope that I can show her the creativity and hard work I put into it.
This then prompted me to look through my phone and see if I could get rid of some storage from my phone. I believe I did as some of the stuff was backed up onto my Google drive so I had a copy of my phone got damaged again (god forbidden). This was then followed by nothing down dates of when I contacted creatives and when I need to contact them again. After taking on board the advice from Ross Grant on a rapid fire Friday (and I’ll need to check again), I’ll email them this week to say that I’ve submitted my material, then if I get the results I want (which will be 2 weeks before the event), I’ll email them again as then finally an email as a reminder of the event and if they can still come. This advice was genius, so that’s one of my main priorities for next week.
Shortly afterwards I brain dumped everything for next week followed by another relaxing session of yoga. And boy was it needed, helping me relax into the evening. After taking my dog out for her third walk, I watched abit of Coronation Street with my dad. This week so far did get tense, as the drama from the week before was still affecting everyone, and with daisy’s and Ryan’s connection continuing to grow, I’m wondering how it’ll affect Daisy’s relationship with her fiancée Daniel. Who knows.
To end the week on a high, I watched Fridays addition of Hollyoaks. It had everything, from scandals, to warren wanting to step up and be the dad Ella needs, to a messing child at the end of the episode. Then I checked my socials. But during it I also re watched a BGT audition from Travis George. And it was surprisingly making me happy, as his voice and personality is so beautiful it watch, and not forgetting he’s a musical theatre star in the making. Get this lad on the west end right now!
I then as always checked my social media whilst learning some more Korean and French. This was then followed by finally looking at my videos for Actor Jam, making notes of certain things I've noticed. this is so that as well when I do the final recordings he next day, I will make note of what I need to do. This included my eyeline, as my eyes are quite hooded, and this wasn't the first time it's happened, but providing I take that note and have fun with it, it'll make the self taping process not only enjoyable but also easier to do.
What have I learnt this week? Do what makes you happy. And after the last day of the week that saying has really given me food for thought. See you soon for another blog. Until next time… This is The Autistic Actress signing off :)
