Carolyne's class with Renita was really wonderful. She's a very positive person and it was interesting to hear her talk about how we have the power to create our careers. Everything from slates (if you don't like saying your name, change it. We're in one of the few professions where you can make your name into anything you want.) to other parts of your career and your life.

I''m still chewing on some of the things I learned last night.

Just got feedback from my manager. I'd sent him a dry run of theatrical headshot looks I'd done with a friend and asked him to make sure we have all the looks that we need for submissions. To me, looks for roles of what you'd play is actually acting so I do dry runs to make sure I bring in what it is that we need instead of paying a lot of money to a headshot photographer to do general looks and then finding out that what I need is missing. You can be dressing in whatever clothes you've brought for a look and if you don't act the role you still miss the shot. That's why I've done this dry run. I think I'll need to do another but it's a good start.
