I had my third booking of 2012 yesterday. It was a promo for Wingate of Wyndham hotels. I found out the day before that I would be in a swimsuit–in February! This is why all actors should stay on their … Continue reading →

Repeat Business

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:02:15 MST

There are wonderful advantages to staying in this business for the long haul. By no means have I been at it for a long time, but I certainly am no longer a newbie, and I am now starting to reap … Continue reading →

2012 Goals

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:48:00 MST

I decided it would be a good idea to set a goal of booking one job a month. I set this goal back in December when I realized that I had booked almost that many jobs in 2011. In January, … Continue reading →

So, on the first day of the new business year, I found out that I booked that First Refusal! I shoot on Monday for a Rooms To Go commercial. I love starting the new year off right.

2011 Wasn’t So Bad

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:44:02 MST

I’ve been a little bit sad the past two days because everywhere I look, people are glad it is 2012 if only because 2011 was such a bad year for them. I wish it were not that way for so … Continue reading →

Who says December is slow?

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:09:05 MST

Seriously, I don’t have time for auditions! Didn’t anyone tell these directors and producers that it’s Christmas? Lovin’ it, though. I had the chance to go on an audition with my daughter today, which is always a delight. Have another … Continue reading →

Voiceovers abound

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:19:59 MST

I have not been able to focus on the voice over side of my career for a few months with the upswing in other areas. But it has been on my mind a lot, so I finally grabbed the time … Continue reading →

Jessica is “healed”

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:18:23 MST

Earlier this year I shot an episode of It’s Supernatural with the wonderful Llewellyn crew. It’s a show filled with re-enactments. They called me back in for another episode today! I love repeat business…I played a young woman with a … Continue reading →

What does Jess have in common with Vivien Leigh?

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:39:50 MDT

Besides admitting that I have Scarlett O’Hara tendencies, we have now both portrayed Blanche Dubois. Oh my goodness, what an iconic role, right? Who doesn’t dream of tackling that one? Okay, let’s be honest, it isn’t always a dream. Often, … Continue reading →

What does Jess have in common with A-List Actresses?

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:34:04 MDT

She doesn’t have to audition! Just kidding, ha, ha. Actually, I did just book another Chick-fil-A industrial without an audition. It was a prior relationship with the director/producer of the project and the TAG Level II certification at work again. … Continue reading →

It’s time for a new post

Fri, 07 Oct 2011 22:47:25 MDT

I don’t know, between auditions and callbacks and life and the play, I feel as if the last few months have flown by without much attention on my part. Tonight, I am having some much desired alone time after spending … Continue reading →

Free Improv Class!

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:24:13 MDT

So, I get this callback for an industrial. And I’m pretty sure it’s a fairly silent role, certainly not very hefty. So I fully anticipated a quick callback. Instead we wait half an hour to be seen, go in in … Continue reading →

“Clifford!”

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:19:47 MDT

I really do love the one word auditions. Honestly, I do. I think it’s super funny that this industry puts so much stock in who can say one word the best—I know, I know, so much stock in which actress … Continue reading →

Yet another Chick-fil-A booking (thank you, TAG)

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 00:22:06 MDT

I love TAG certification! TAG stands for Teleprompter Accreditation Group. I’m certified at Level II. Many companies are now hiring TAG actors only for their industrials because the certification gives them confidence that we will do a great job on … Continue reading →
