Radio Interview P4

I just got home from the radio interview. And it was epic (I'm in part 2,)
I'm so excited about everything that is going on, I don't know where to turn or what to do or where to be. I just gotta try to focus, and do one thing at the time. I have rehearsals later on today and tomorrow and then 2 shows on Saturday and a meeting on Sunday. God what am I doing (I love this, I make it sound like I don't, but I really am enjoying this) 

If you're from Sweden, or know the language, go ahead and listen! My Part begins at 03:19:10.

Think again

The leaves are changing color and the fresh breeze tells me it's officially autumn (I like fall, but I can't stand winter)!

I've been feeling annoyed, tired and angry the whole week, there is definitely something going on, either it's because I know the winter is coming, or because I only got to be on set for one day and is already missing it or it's depression (or a mix of everything)...

I'm trying to keep up with my craft and I'm currently working on my character for the new play, reading, writing and digging (I love it so much). But It doesn't feel right (I'm not talking about the story, character or the project now, I mean the way the producers handle these projects)... It annoys the crap out of me, people want us (non A-list actors) to work for free...but then still there is a market for it (and there is money) and people keep asking for movies and theater to come out but they're not willing to pay for it!? I do NOT understand! I'm lucky to get payed (doesn't pay all the bills, but it helps, and I love acting so, I'm willing to work my way up), I just don't understand how people can expect you to work for them for free...IT'S CRAZY?

I feel like my town doesn't understand the importance of this profession and that it is a real job. When you have people working for you for free, it's not like they're gonna show up in time or maybe even show up at all, which is making everything very unprofessional (and that's how I feel about most projects I take on here in this town... I gotta move!). 

I just want to remind you what impact theater, film, music, art, actors, directors, artist have on your/our everyday life!!

• It creates important subjects to discuss
• form debates
• brings people together
• evokes emotions
• influences they way we think and feel about our own lives and encourages us to take a hard look at ourselves, our values and our behavior.
• helps people in similar situations to deal with "it"

The list goes on...

I would want people to respect this occupation for what it is, just as important as any other professions out there. I mean can you imagine a world without, TV, Film, Music, Radio, Theater...? 

The answer is obviously, NO! I hope this made you consider the way you look at my profession. have a great Sunday!

BE OBSERVANT

I'm gonna give you the the two words that can/will change your life as an actor - BE OBSERVANT!  

I'm not gonna write an essay about it, I'm just gonna let you use your imagination to find the meaning of these two words! I've been doing it for the past months and I wish I would have known about this before, because then I would have had even more knowledge. Write everything down, and use it for your advantage, you'll understand what I'm taking about when you are facing it.  

Time flies

(I'll leave the picture to describe have I feel) WHERE... did... the weekend... go, and where did this day go!? Holy cow.. the saying "time flies" really says it all nowadays. I just want it to slow down a bit (I'm trying to enjoy life here... hallo.. before I get old!?)! 

I booked a small acting gig last Thursday (as an extra) in Inga Lindstrom, a german TV film/show. I'm so glad I booked it and got to work with all the amazing people involved. Everything was so professional and everyone were so lovely. I didn't want it to end (as always when I'm on set). I hope I get get back on set really soon, 'cause that's where I feel like I belong! If you're reading this and is a fan of Inga Lindstrom, be sure to look out for a guy, with a yellow and black square-striped shirt dancing (with a beautiful girl) and having dinner at a restaurant - that'll be me.

I learned a lot from this day, not only that I and the people there have more in common than my friends back home. But also that I'm not alone feeling that these small gigs are really enriching. I spoke to  one of the extras about it, that I'm really bad when it comes to auditioning and that these gigs helps me build up that missing confidence. THIS IS a great advice for any young actor out there, GET EXPERIENCE and find ways to get confidence (being and extra is a great way)  

It's Monday today, and as always that makes me feel anxious... I don't know where to start or what to do, even though I have millions of things to do. Today have been "pretty" productive though. I managed to work on my character as the story teller in "the little ghost Godfrey" (which have premier in 3 weeks) so that's all good. I'm really happy with what I've managed to create and bring out of just a story teller, I think people will love him. 
I've also been at the gym (even though the cold is making it REALLY FUCKING HARD TO BREATH), had dinner and had time to listen to the latest episode of "Actors Anonymous Podcast" (My current obsession, IT's GREAT. Go listen to it, it's free on itunes). 
I'm now gonna watch Swedish Idols and then do some research on a sketch I'm currently writing for the script to the gala (Nassjo against Cancer) and last do some meditation before I go to bed. 
Have a great week everyone!
