Jan 8 - Jan 14 really stepped it up for the new year. I’d say that even if it wasn’t only the second week of 2012, pinky swear. Recappalous:

• First ever Lincoln Center audition. Lincoln Center, you guys. My favorite place in all of New York City (tied with my fountain, obvs). The most incredible pieces of art come out of these buildings and I got to wander through the basement, where the dressing rooms are, where the costumes are created, where the rehearsals begin. I got to play with a man pretending to be a horse. Don’t even think that sounds dirty because it was so, so incredible.
• Audition for a new rock musical where I got to embrace my inner teen goth.
• What’s that? I must’ve gotten a new legit agent with all these auditions? NOPE. I’m a motherfucking hustler (stay tuned for next week when I say that out loud to a casting director).
• Apparently I can do a sick French dialect. And apparently I have a sick dialect coach amongst friends (actors, feel free to ask). Also: apparently, when working a dialect, I practice aloud to myself whist wandering in public. (this is awkward.)
• New voiceover class. I am very good at voiceover. Remind me when I forget, yes?
• New acting coach who hugged me at first introduction then rummaged her closet to help find me an oversized sweater from her own items.
• New vocal coach who can look at a song, turn it upside down and then explain in vivid, fantastic, monologue-esque descriptions including hand gestures and so much awesome. Singing is.. FUN. I’m not afraid of auditions anymore.
• Farewell to two of my bests heading back out on tour. Catch Damn Yankees or Mary Poppins if either plays near you!
• Feeling a hand stop me, realizing it belonged to you. Playing dress up in your clothes. Making you burst out laughing when I called you out on what’s been obvious to me for years yet brand new to you.
• Finally getting to see the most beautiful baby bump of all time. Visible joy & love pouring out all over those involved with said bump.
• Momma’s birthday. The adorableness of her telling me she has plans in the city and then fitting me in around that. Momma is the GREATEST.
• These words: “You just changed my life. Again.” / “That’s what I do!” / “Every day.”
