Pilot Season is —

• Challenging
• Exhilarating
• Scary
• Stimulating
• Disappointing
• Depressing
• Promising

As an Actor I can (and do) go from extreme highs to a deep lows within just a matter of days (sometimes within hours). In the last few weeks I’ve gone from pre-reads to call-backs with producers to negotiations about quotes, to signing contracts, testing and then not getting the parts. It’s like those old-fashioned board games where you almost get to the end and then end up at the beginning… Read the rest of this entry »

rise to the top

We all have them |think about them | wish they’d come true. Some of us actually make sure they do come true. I’m trying to become one of those laser-focused Actors but it’s a challenge sometimes, obvi.

DREAMS —

• Direct our path
• Create goals
• Push us forward
• Encourage risks (the good kind) Read the rest of this entry »

be your own make-up artist

Continuing the Evie Stewart Lifelong Quest to look professional (and as good as possible) each and every time I have an audition, a meeting, or just show up for a temp job —  here are two beauty must-haves that I can’t seem to live without.

In A Girl’s Essentials (part 2, skincare) I touched on the importance of keeping skin looking as young and fresh and unlined as possible.  We can’t all afford to have as many facials as we’d like (at least I can’t) so a great alternative to spending time and money in a spa is the — Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve noticed that I spend a lot of my volunteer shift just helping people who are lost find their way out of the hospital.

Our ER is in the East Tower but on Sunday nights there’s only one Information Desk open and it’s in the West Tower, so the hospital tries to get everyone who’s entering and leaving the hospital to do it in the west. So in the east, they dim the lights and block the exits, but all that means is — people are walking around totally disoriented in the dark. (OMG! I so know how they feel.)

Thought I’d start the first week of the NEW YEAR in the NEW DECADE with a few “Optimistic Evie-isms.”

When I write optimistic thoughts I feel more optimistic in general, so this is for me as much as it is for you.

16 Positive Ways To Start the New Decade

• Laugh, learn and live to the max.
• Think out-of-box-ish and let imagination be your guide. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always been TOTALLY into

H a l l o w e e n | C o s t u m e s

Ever since I was “Bee” at three. But, I never realized until this year, just how much ACTING and HALLOWEEN have a lot in common.

I was enlightened by a pumpkin.

And it’s not just because they both involve costumes and getting sick to your stomach. Ahaha. Read the rest of this entry »

good-byes are hard

So my Twitter bud and fellow Actor @MikeCapozzi forwarded me devastating news about the demise of my favorite website Killthedoor.com.

You may remember that I did an entire post on how fabulous this Actor-friendly site “is” or now I should say “was”. It was like an inside source with casting news, inside info, great advice and resources for Actors yada yada. Apparently it was a little too inside and became a conflict of interests. Boo hoo!

So since, Killthedoor.com and @killthedoor have been ahem, “killed”, I’ve decided to share this little vid with everyone, to watch in absence of a memorial service (you can wear black when you watch it, if you want.) Read the rest of this entry »
