ONCE UPON A TIME...

Hey Guys,
A while back my friend from university told me about a television show called 'Once Upon a Time' by ABC Productions. It follows the story of Disney's Snow White and Prince Charming. In the first few episodes the Evil Queen, also know as Regina played by Hollywood actress Lana Maria Parilla, along with Rumpelstiltskin played by British actor Robert Carlyle create a curse as a revenge plot which banishes all the fairytale characters to a town called Storybrooke in a new world called... Yep you know it 'Earth'. Whilst on earth all the characters will have no memory of their previous lives and will no longer be able to use magic or so they thought.

 I couldn't seem to find it anywhere until recently when I saw it on Netflix. I am quite a big fan of both Disney and Fantasy and since I had already watched almost everything on Netflix, I though I may as well give it a go.

I put on the first episode and from that moment I was hooked. I ended up watching the whole of season one, which included 22 episodes in just one and a half days. Each episode was around 42-45 minutes, I was so intrigued and drawn into the story that I couldn't move from my couch. I had literally turned into a vegetable and I couldn't tear myself away. I did try and few times to give myself a break for a bit and do some work, but I couldn't focus on anything else. I came to the conclusion I had worked so hard recently that I deserved a day off. So off I went back to my laptop and continued on to season two until 2am. I hadn't been this hooked on a show since watching 'Orange is the New Black'. 

The series uses a contemporary approach to show a darker side of the fantasy land, whilst staying true to the characters. It shows that Disney is not just for children, but can also bring the magic to adults. I haven't ever been hooked on a show to this extent before. It was not just the magic and drama of the show that kept me watching, I was also fascinated with the quality of acting and special effects that was used. I was especially impressed with both lead actors playing Regina 'The Evil Queen' and 'Rumplestitskin'. Although these characters were supposedly evil, the series shows a sensitive and compassionate side to them as well. It allowed the audience to connect with them on more than one level. As an actress myself it definitely gives me something to aspire too. 

I would definitely recommend this to any disney fan, you will not be disappointed!!

Being a Brit in LA- Ten Things that still confuse me

Image
I have now been living in Los Angeles for eight months and there is still so much that I find a mystery about the States.  I love living in the States, but I there is a lot that will never quite understand. So, here goes my top ten list of what confuses me most about living here. 1.  The term 'Fuck boy'.  I hear this a lot, especially when I'm out clubbing and I point at a guy to show my friends if I think he's hot or not and usually I get an awkward stare from my friends and then they will say "you don't want to date him, he's a  fuckboy"  hmmm...OK then! Eight months later I am still unsure of what it really means, although my guess is that it's equivalent to what we call a chav. 2.  Driving.  Ok, so for a British girl with dyslexia remembering my left and right is already a nightmare. It took me 3 times to pass my theory and 2 years to actually learn to drive with an instructor that would constantly say to me 'I don...

PSYCHIC- IS IT ALL A LOAD OF HOCUS POCUS?

So.. this week has been an interesting week. For some reason since returning from the lovely USA  everything has seemed to go wrong. First the stupid hotel in Los Angeles messed up our payment and ended up charging me twice, then my phone decides to break at the exact same time and then I worked on the worst promo shift possible and for the first time I actually ended up walking out.  I think god was trying to tell me I should have stayed in LA. I also couldn't stop thinking about how I'm going to raise the funds for next year. Knowing that I got into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and actually being able to see it in real life for the first time was amazing, but after returning home all I could seem to think was 'What if I can't raise the funds?' 'What if my dream is over before it's even started?'. I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself considering I still have nearly a year to go and my mom keeps trying to reassure me, but I can'...

TOP TEN TIPS ON RECORDING MONOLOGUES

Image
Hello my lovelies,  So today I'm going to my top ten little on recording monologues. Whether it's for your showreel, video audition or just to upload to You Tube there's a few things you should and shouldn't do.  When I first found out I would be doing a video audition for The American Academy of Dramatic Arts as I was unable to attend the London auditions because I was teaching drama in India, I wasn't quite sure how to go about it. Although auditioning via video means you can keep changing it until your happy, it also means you have to put in extra effort as you will be competing with face to face auditions.  As I hadn't  done much screen work or any recording in a while, I decided that it would be a good idea to get in contact with an acting coach. After searching for a while I found this fantastic coach Claire Storey . Claire really encouraged me and gave me some great advice for filming monologues. After getting in ...
