Pssssst…. I booked my first job out in Toronto! Had an audition on Tuesday and it was all improv and nailed it. :) So, so, so thankful we did improv training in the intensive! I spent my time in the waiting room thinking about the story, and flushing out my 7 with the details I got from the casting director and voila!! Thanks for VAS and all that you do to help other actors move ahead! Who’s happy now? This girl!
