Chantal's Hollywood Adventures

Hey Guys,  I hope everyone is ready for a great sunny weekend (unless your in somewhere like England because it will probably be raining, sorry) I know that I am.  I can't believe I finished school now over three weeks ago, it's gone so fast but I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'm currently sitting in a little coffee shop with my passion fruit ice tea whilst I reminisce to myself about all the great memories I've made over the past year here in LA.  Looking back on my life from when I was in England to now I cant believe how much my life has changed. People warned me before I moved to LA that I would come back a completely different person and I always thought to myself, can people really change to that extreme, but this year in LA has proved to me that the experiences you go through can impact your life drastically and change you as a person. I have learnt so many lessons out here but the one that has really stuck with me is remembering that everyone in life...

Hey guys,  So today I'm going to be discussing how to prepare for an audition or casting, as well as, letting you in on a couple of my own casting disasters.  I've been auditioning now since I was about eight, whether it was for school productions, films, TV shows or drama school, I have been through them all. Although I have had some amazing feedback from casting directors, I've also had my fair share of outright cringing and disastrous auditions. This has definitely been a learning curve for me and has taught me how to do things differently.  Before we start, there's one thing I'd like to mention. You may follow all the tips and audition your little heart out, but still not get the part.  This doesn't mean that you weren't good. Rejection is all part of the process and I have learnt this throughout my career. I used to let rejection get in the way of my other projects. I constantly felt that I couldn't act as I didn't get as many auditions...
