With the help of her friends Jodie and Kevin at SavvyActor.com and more of her pro friends and loved ones guidance I was able to clearly define my personal brand. This clarity will help creative professionals and others cast and market me in succinct and effective ways. Every piece of my marketing pie is in place for this effect from headshots to website, from song selection to demo reels. Thanks for being a part of team Jaye!

I worked this spring with Samarra Mbenga of Core Conversations to really face my personal blocks and heal in regard to my core values and feelings surrounding money, prosperity, abundance, and lack or fear of the same. I reccomend her to anyone who needs to come to terms these important life aspects.

I continue to study with Shirley Callaway to great success vocally. My friend MaryAnn Hannon whom I did my first show out of NYU with in 2001; affectionately known as 'Soar Like a Beagle' listened to my broadway demo with out knowing about Shirl and likened the new and improved me to her super pro daughters Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway.Give a listen!

I had my first audition with a legit agent this spring and have had a couple of callbacks theatrically but did not press myself in terms of cattle calls and the like. I have been sent out by manager agent Sue Winik for some great stuff and had a really fun commercial callback and was cast in a Jimmy Fallon skit that didn't shoot...(mercury in retro), I have been taking stock of my decade in New York and regrouping personally with clarity and care.I took a great voiceover class at WB and am helping Bill Hopkins hone my film demo reel which I hope to have on my website with other improvements by July!

This bird needs to soar and since last fall I have helped Dianne re do her CPW apartment, moved my Photog friend Matt in and out of business, storage and apartments, and helped a few other client friends with ongoing projects. I really enjoy the work and am spatially gifted in terms of packing and storage but my lil studio is bursting. I have called it Grandma's attic meets a 1950's wardrobe trailer. It is tidy but cramped and doesn't allow for what I have been manifesting in my life so hang on as I move down the street and up an extra flight. If you are interested in an 11 by 16 studio, I will put you in touch with the broker who lives in and handles my building for my landlady.

In support of my friend and founder of VocalEaseInc; the cabaret group I volunteer sing with here in the city, I have developed a fan page. If you are on FaceBook please find this public profile and sign on. Eva just won the MAC Directors Award for our good work.

I mentioned sendoutcards in my last email. I can give you personal details about it but check out this link for a free trial for this slick online way to send REAL cards and postcards. I came to it as it is a smart and fun way to market yourself as an actor, but is also great for personal and other business marketing and communicating. Their collection is undending and it is as affordable as the postage! I may have already sent you one!

I have been interviewed for Voice of America's Indonesian Correspondent and her crew of one, about my Barbie Collecting. I will keep you posted on that one, perhaps post a youtube...Also along those lines I am presenting 'Barbie Sings' for my VAMP collectors club here later this month. I will be doing the monthly presentation about Barbie on the record and using bits of my Masters Thesis Performance as an illustration via DVD. Fun Stuff and a great group of collectors like me!

ps. For my birthday (at my request) my friend Mark B. Perry posted the song I sang for his wedding to my creative soul sibling Mark Knowles. Have a look see if you haven't already....
