Another film roll!
Ok, I'm getting spoiled. I audition, I get the part. Sometimes I don't even have to audition.
Last Friday night I auditioned for the roll of Martin, the innkeeper in an independent film being shot around Albany. On Saturday they call me and offer me the roll.
How cool is that. I'll know more details after rehearsal on Thursday and let ya know.

Your Service Manager Tony Fiske
Yesterday (Sunday) I was playing the part of Tony Fiske, the service adviser for Hometown Volvo!
Several of us from Albany Talent were hired to work on an instructional video for Volvo North America. Bedard Brothers Volvo in Cheshire MA was used as a set and the new Volvo XC60 was the star.
9 O'clock call, and didn't get on camera till after 3. It was a small part but we had teleprompters and the director Paul Zimmerman kept the crew moving through shot after shot.
I'll see if I can score a copy of the final product and add it to my list of things to post.
Now, back to focusing on the Panto version of Puss in Boots as Yolanda Gentry, the hot Latina wife of the mayor of Ghent. Yes, I'm playing a woman again... serious theater.

New work, on stage and settling in...
Ok, So I step off of one speeding train onto another... cool we've settled into work at Bard College at Simon's Rock, or "The Rock". Two weeks ago a director for a musical called "I know I came in here for something" called me and said that the show over the summer was a raging success and it's up for a revival for a couple of weekends. He had approached me in the spring, but with the National Guitar workshop happening, I was booked solid. Anyway, I said yes.
I had to learn the whole show in a week and a half. "Hey, ya need some stress, here's MORE!"
MMMMM boy good!
Got it done, the opening night had my mother in the audience as I sing a song about erectile disfunction. If I can handle that crowd, I'm good for the rest of the show. This weekend of September 25th, 26th and 27th is the final weekend until some time in November where the show is going up again as a fundraiser. Get yer tickets now!
On another note, listen for my voice on College guide .com so far I've done Nashville College Guide.com, Detroit College Guide.com, Cleveland and Charolette. With hopefully more to come.
WOO!

Ok, What happened to SUMMER?!?
I was the Front of House Engineer for the National Guitar Workshop this year down at SUNY Purchase, load in happened on July 12th, and we were loaded out by August 16th...
In between those dates were concerts every night, guest artists like Steve Vai, Pat Metheny, Paul Gilbert, Robbin Ford... sheesh. And then, during this fun and frivolity, I applied for a position at Bard College at Simon's Rock.
Phone interview, two on site interviews... I GOT THE GIG! WOOT!
I'm the new Instructional Technology Specialist for the Art Department. From welders to projectors, computers to the stage. I work for the IT department, yet anything that plugs in, turns on or fires up is now my charge. CNC milling table? yup.
The bonus... A VOICE BOOTH! Nice Wenger booth for me to use when needed.
as a complete aside, the Presonus Audiobox performed perfectly as a travel VO tool. Never dropped the ball for any of my clients while on the road. Sweet.

YAY FILM WORK!
Ok, it was my first film where I was on the OTHER side of the camera, like, in front of it and not behind the scene somewhere.
The film is a documentary about Phineaus Gage, a guy who survived having a steel rod race through his skull during a freak quarry accident in 1830. He lived for years afterward however his personality changed, I think technically he was the first lobotomy.
So I play the guy who caused the whole thing. I put powder in the hole he's working on and fail to tell him. He goes to work on the drilled rock and BLAMO! In another scene I find the steel pike and pick it up, only to discover it's covered in "matter"... red matter and junk.
ew.
I don't know what the release date is going to be, but I'll keep you posted!
