This Is Just The Beginning
I may be leaving LA but I know that this is not a goodbye. If I gained anything from this trip it would be the fire and passion inside has just exploded. I have never wanted anything as much as I want this. But I know that’s not the only thing I learnt. My acting skills have expanded and the things I have learnt I never even imagined were possible. Having acting classes with the top acting...
Update from LA
Today was just unreal. I had a 5:30am wake up call for a photoshoot on the Villa Hills (right next to the Hollywood Hills). I already felt like I was living the life of an actress ;) the photoshoot went great and the photographer was crazy!!! I’ve never worked with anyone like him before but my god did he know what he was doing. Photos turned out wonderful. We then went to a quick stop to...
It's time
I’m only about half an hour away till when I board. This day actually came. I never thought it would. Before i start this journey I would like to thank every single person that believes in me and has given the support to allow me to live this dream of mine. It would be so hard to do without the love and support I have around me. Thank you
Next Stop Hollywood
I made this blog almost a year ago to publish my journey to Hollywood and never in my wildest dreams did I believe that I would be going there this soon. It is literally my next stop. Words can’t describe how much this means to me and how excited I am. I can’t wait till I’m actually in America and see the Hollywood sign to believe that all this is actually real. At the moment I...

I'm Back :)
It’s been a while since I’ve been on tumblr - simply because my phone has been a piece of shit and it was just too hard to type the usual essay I write on here. I can’t explain how much work I’ve done this year. Hosting a live tv show, multi film roles playing awesome characters, being interviewed on the radio and the coolest thing to happen in my entire life is the fact I...

Looking at housing in Hollywood
Gives me a weird feeling in my stomach <3
It's been a while
I felt like I haven’t been on here forever but so much has been happening lately. I’ve been getting auditions left right and centre as well as hosting 1700 every Wednesday night. I’m seriously enjoying hosting so much. Over the past few weeks I have just seen myself grow with confidence in front of the camera. Live TV is so difficult but it gives me a great challenge every week...

My audition
So I have this oppurtunity to be in a movie and for my audition tape to be seen by the panel I need my stars to stay up high so if you could all vote at http://www.itsourmovie.com/node/1186 it only takes a short moment to register and vote 10 stars. It’ll mean the world to me <3
BekahJayne
I remember the day I met her and instantly realising how much we’re alike, everything was the same, including our dreams. She owns half my heart which is the reason why my passion and dream double when I’m with her. She inspires me in everyway possible and her positive attitude will be the reason why we make it to Hollywood. Thank you for being there, believing in me and encouraging me...
This Year.
This year, I swear will be amazing. So much has already happened and so much more planned. I feel it in my blood. The more I fight for my dream the more faith and belief I have in myself. Everything seems to be working out perfectly. Sure I’m only taking baby steps at the moment but in no time the steps will only become bigger as my dream starts to evolve. Bring on 2011 baby!

Nida
To do a course with nida was so amazing I could not put it in words. Just the fact it is internationally known blows me away, not to mention actors like Mel Gibson attended it. Now mine was only for 2 days but I learnt so much about my acting technique. It started off what I thought was a bit slow but what the teacher was actually doing was breaking down every single detail of a production and how...
Moving to Hollywood
I was just having a browse at the kind of pricing to rent in LA. I found an apartment in the heart of Hollywood for 500 a month (inluding bills) with a roommate. This has made me so much more confident and excited to move now. The pricing is so much more affordable then I expected and seeing as my visa will only allow me to get acting jobs saving will seem easier. With this pricing I could...
Goals
So as most of you know I have my big goal to make it to Hollywood but like anything you have to make smaller goals first and then climb to what you really want, like a ladder. I have now figured out my first goal which is going to be a giant step towards America. It’s to get into this agency I’ve wanted to be with for a few years now. They only represent a small amount of people so it...
The New Year.
First of all happy new years even though I’m a little late. But we’re still at the start so it counts. I’ve noticed over a very long time that the moment we enter a new year everyone says the same thing and that is they’re going to change something or they hope it’s going to be a better year. Unfortuantly it’s just another day, only 24 hours from 2010. Just...

A Sign?
I was on the tram and a little girl who’s in Australia on holidays came up to me and asked why I looked so beautiful. I then told her I did a photoshoot and she thought I was famous and asked for my photo. She was beautiful <3
Photoshoot
Just finished my photoshoot. It was so much fun and I was told by the photographer that I am a natural and will go far. This was before I even told them how I wanted to be an actress which soon led into a long and very inspiring conversation. My make up artist said to me “if you’re fighting for your dreams you’ve already made it.” These words changed my outlook on...
“A mistake is just another oppurtunity for success”
I Don't Care
I don’t care if I’m not famous, I don’t care if I don’t have heaps of money. I just want to act. That is it. The only reason I want to go to Hollywood is so I can live off acting and there’s more of an oppurtunity over there. But if I can’t make it I’ll still be just as happy here acting on the side after my actual job. I would love to have an acting...
The Audition
So I didn’t do bad in the audition but I didn’t do good either. It was one of the toughest scripts I’ve had to read and I got so tongue twisted. The casting director and director said they loved me but personally I didn’t do the best. But either way I’m taking this at another oppurtunity to succeed. I’ll learn from my mistakes and figure out what I did good to...
Starting To Come Together
So I have an audition today, got this awesome oppurtunity to attend a drama class run by an American director and on Saturday I have a photoshoot. I really feel like I’m doing something right, all the time I put into my audition tapes and sent them off to numerous agencies, managers, casting agents is actually working. My name is slowly getting round and I seem to be getting more...
Learning Lines.
Something I’m really good at. Something I picked up very quickly. I remember when I was like 7 I memorised an entire monologue from one of my favourite films in like 20 minutes from just rewinding and playing the tape over and over again. Probably killed the video player thinking back to it. But it was at the moment I wanted to be in a movie. I think I wanted to be famous more than an...
Seriously
If something is making you that upset or you actually feel as low as you’re saying, do something about it! Nothing and no one can fix it for you and if you are just going to sit around waiting for something to change then really, it is your own fault for why youre feeling so low. I know coming from me probably seems hypocritical because I did sit around for a long time feeling sorry for...

Scared
I spent the majority of my night looking up visas and what you need to get them. The thought of me not getting accepted scares me to death. I know I have to stay positive but its hard when it’s such a difficult process to get through. I know I just have to keep reminding myself that if I don’t succeed that it’s not the end of the world, even though for me, it’ll feel like it. And if I don’t get...
Hello Motivation
The motivation I have at the moment is unreal. I have barely slept. Instead I have put together a to-do list; everything I need to do to help me with preparing my visa. I finally got to sleep but it didn’t last long. I woke up early so I can start ticking off each point on my list as fast as I can. If only I had this kind of motivation at school, I probably would have done a lot better :p. I...
“plan B is a plan to fail…”
First Step
I’ve never bothered with a blog before but after what’s happened the past couple of days I’ve realised I have the oppurtunity to look back on them and see how far I have become. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to act. A lot of people around me thought it was just a childhood dream but as I grew older my passion grew stronger. I have tried and thought about...
