SYNDROMES is finally finished! | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/syndromes-is-finally-finished

SYNDROMES is finally finished! February 8, 2011. I never know when things happen in LA. When did Caleb first come to Kate and I with this stellar idea for a web comedy? It must have been sometime last summer, or even earlier, because we didn’t find our director and begin shooting til September of 2010. Dang, it’s hard to get people to work for free! Sound guys and gals, shooters and G&E types all balk at the suggestion of working for a ghastly $100/day, while many actors I know still gallop gratefully to...

How to Tell if you’re Hot (in Hollywood) | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/how-to-tell-if-youre-hot-in-hollywood

How to Tell if you’re Hot (in Hollywood). March 25, 2011. First, let’s clarify what we mean by hot. I’m not talking about the Will Ferrell-in-. 8220;Oh my God, he is. If I’m not careful, this is going to turn into an homage to Sex with V-Ness! Why the long wait? 8220;I have to get in shape.”. Uh-oh Another case of what I like to call Carrot Top Syndrome. Have you seen Carrot Top lately? It is not “on brand” (thank you Bonnie) for him to be sporting a beefcake body. And guess what? What do I mean by that?

A Night at the W: Part 1 | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/a-night-at-the-w-part-1

A Night at the W: Part 1. February 9, 2011. One of my favorite phrases to repeat to people who don’t live in LA or have never been here, is “It’s nothing like its reputation.” Images of blonde bombshells with fake boobs and boxy-shouldered studios execs driving Bentleys around and screaming at their assistants is just not my LA. My friends are nice, down to earth. They drive Civics and Priuses (Pri-ie? As Hollywood has proven to me time and time again, OH, how very wrong I was. It’s sort of like vi...

How to Throw a Super-Diva Hissy Fit | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/03/27/how-to-throw-a-super-diva-hissy-fit

How to Throw a Super-Diva Hissy Fit. March 27, 2011. We’ve all done it. Whether it was on set, in a production meeting or rehearsal, or even – yikes – at the audition, the big bad actor demons have reared their ugly heads at the most inappropriate times. And understandably so. We poor little actors have a lot of s%#& to deal with! Thou shalt NOT ARGUE with the director. It is YOUR JOB to make sense of his abyssal notes. Thou shalt be ON TIME, and PREPARED, and ask questions at the appropriate times.

Weekend Whirlwind | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/weekend-whirlwind

March 10, 2011. Decompressing after a long weekend of work. And by work, I actually mean working, and getting paid….as an actor! Before the client nixed the knee socks – whoops, too sexy! Yup It is. Sighs began escaping the lips of nurses and doctors as we set up to do take three, four, seven. “Again? 8221; they’d whine. Yup. Again. One thought on “ Weekend Whirlwind. March 20, 2011 at 8:57 am. You were FABULOUS during this shoot Rebekah! See you on Tuesday! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are commenting...

‘Aspring Actress’ and Related Semantics | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/aspring-actress-and-related-semantics

8216;Aspring Actress’ and Related Semantics. March 23, 2011. Considering that the most frequent question I get asked when someone finds out I’m an actor is “What have I seen you in? Acting is perhaps the only profession I can think of where trying to find work. The work. I take that back – I suppose that is the case with many independent contractors. We spend hours of our time preparing for and getting to auditions. And these auditions can be HUGE! What have I seen you in? March 23, 2011 at 11:01 pm.

Letter to an LA Newbie | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/letter-to-an-la-newbie

Letter to an LA Newbie. August 31, 2011. Http:/ www.westsiderentals.com/. Is the main company people use. I’d suggest Craiglist though if you don’t know the city and don’t have a job yet. You wouldn’t want to sign a year lease on an apartment in Santa Monica and then get a job in Pasadena. West Hollywood: Very nice, expensive, lovely condos. Pricey! North Hollywood/Valley: Parking and traffic: less of a bitch! Cheaper affordable housing, still 10 minutes from Hollywood, easy access to the 101/170/405&#46...

A Night at the W: Part 2 (or, the excitement and thrill of perfectly executed indifference) | A Broad, Abroad.

https://rebekahvoss.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/a-night-at-the-w-part-2

A Night at the W: Part 2 (or, the excitement and thrill of perfectly executed indifference). February 14, 2011. While being ushered towards the correct entrance, I am whisked past lines of chaffing, sweaty twenty-somethings who, despite their best efforts, will seem cheap and mealy compared to the filet mignon that is…….The W. Hotel. Lobby. And how could you? There is so much to look at! Who is looking at me? At whom am I looking? Should I look away? The music swells. I shout with my friends. A s...8221;...
