Back from Hong Kong

I am back from the amazing place called Hong Kong. As I lived there for 12 years I have such a great tie to the place. I just love the lights and the atmosphere. However, having said that, it is great to be back in the UK and the break has given me the mindset to go and get what I want.

Anthony Meindl says it perfectly here

Surviving Actors 2015

It was great to get to know more about the industry at Surviving Actors London 2015. I learnt something new from each seminar I attended.

Now to get ready for an audition and AMAW class :)

I love this

NEW YEAR 2015

2014 was an incredible year for learning and understanding the acting industry, now, 2015 will be putting all I have learnt into practice. Having said that, it does not mean that I have stopped learning, I learn something new everyday and I love it.

I have an audition tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it! So excited :)

Long time no see.....

These past few months have been so busy!! Very good busy. I have learnt so much in such a short space of time. Christmas is fast approaching and I am loving it. This is my favourite time of year.

Saturday was so much fun! The shoot was incredible and I cannot believe we filmed everything in one day. It has taken some hard work but we did it and the results will look brilliant. Can't wait to show everyone next year. #bigthings #itshappening

Monday Blues?

So its a Monday and its not exactly hot/ that nice outside! BUT..... there are loads to smile about, in particular this morning, when I got to watch Ed Sheeran's new Video for 'Thinking out Loud'
I love it so much, of course the dancing is incredible but also you can see how much fun they are having, its great to see all different dance styles mixed in together.
Love it!!!
Furthermore, I know that the commercial I shot for the other day may be coming out soon... It's a quick turn around :)

So if you do have the Monday blues, watch this video and I hope it brings a smile to your face as it has mine!

Got That Friday Feeling

Up early for an audition today, fingers crossed for that :)

Also, on Tuesday I got to film for a commercial and it was so much fun! Cannot wait to see the results. Can't say much more on that but I know it will look amazing!

Hope everyone has a GREAT WEEKEND, and I'm going to finish with something Mr Walt Disney said, which I love:

'Why worry? If you've the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better.' - Walt Disney 

Miss Saigon and More.....

I went to see Miss Saigon yesterday with some great friends and it was incredible!
I loved the music and the acting was sensational. I have decided to write a list of musicals and plays to watch for the end of the year and for next year.
Watching amazing actors, dancers and performers really inspires me and I hope one day I will bring people as much joy as I had yesterday through watching the show.

If you have not yet seen Miss Saigon please do, the talent is incredible, the set is phenomenal and I cannot forgot the music, both sung and music played - beautiful!!!

After the show, I also had an audition myself, fingers crossed for that :) I can definitely say it was great to have an audition straight after the show, I went to that audition full of spirit.  

Meet and Greet London Time Difference Party

It was great to meet so many wonderful people last night at the meet and greet for 'The London Time Difference Party' project. This is such a great project for East Asian actors and it is brilliant to see so many people come together to make new and big things happen.
Exciting things are happening.

Auditions

I have auditions soon and am very excited. I have been sent the scripts, which I have printed and am reading!!! Loving it.

WOLF HALL/BRING UP THE BODIES

My mum and I went to watch Wolf Hall/ Bring Up The Bodies on Wednesday night and the acting in this production completely blew me away.

Ben Miles who plays Thomas Cromwell was sensational. All the actors were really there in the moment and created such incredible intensity when needed. So Brilliant.

I do wish there was more within the set but I do understand that this production (an adaptation of the Hilary Mantel's novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies.) needs to focus solely on the acting. If that was the case, I wish they made more of the small dance section between Jane Seymour and Henry VIII, as I really felt I was transported back to that era.

Overall though, great production and a brilliant night.

London Intensive and More........

What can I say the London Intensive with Anthony Meindl was incredible, he is so inspirational and wonderful. What we have to do as actors is just be present, listen to your partner and commit to it all.

I was part of such a wonderful group, everyone was so supportive and I loved every minute of it. Anthony will be back in London in November, I cannot wait to participate again. Of course, I am still attending the workshops with the amazing Cynthia Levin and loving it.

I have been away for a while to the South of England and the weather has been so brilliant.
When we went to the beach, I was in a different country it was so HOT.

Loving the HOT weather, hope you all are too.....

The Great Weekend Madness

So alongside presenting the Dragon Boat Festival Music stage I also managed to do a workshop with actress Louise Jameson. Thank you to Mark Allen and Johanna Pollet for organising the event.

Meeting Louise Jameson was incredible, when she walks into a room, not only has she got amazing piercing blue eyes, she also brings with her a great energy. She is so positive and so encouraging.
The acting exercises we did was so refreshing and we saw some incredible scene work through improvisation. Furthermore, some brilliant monologue pieces.

I learnt so much during that workshop, not only did I learn a great deal, I also got to meet loads of great actors.

Thank you all :)

Dragon Boat Festival 2014

I had a great time celebrating and presenting the Dragon Boat Festival!!! Meeting the acts and hearing them perform was incredible. There was an amazing backstage crew too, it was a truly great day to celebrate an amazing tradition!!!
