Hello, my name is Alissa. I have had the dream to be a successful actor from the age of five. I started acting when I was seven. I was born and raised in SLC, UT. I am the youngest of six and the first to graduate from college and move away from home. I got my degree from Westminster college in Arts Administration with a theatre minor and focus at the age of twenty. Now living in LA pursuing my life long aspiration, acting.

Acting update

Acting update: I didn’t get that student film, it sucks but it happens. Now I just move onto the next audition.



My friends Brandon and Nick have the same manager out here and she told them of an audition to go to. It was a prescreening with a casting director to get invited to audition in front of an agents from each of the three top theatrical agencies in LA (Talent Works, Diverse Talent Group, and Abrams).



Nick called Andrew and I after they audition and told us about it so we could also audition. We called in right away and got an audition time. The audition was great. I really enjoyed the casting director; he knows what a good casting director should do, make the actor comfortable the get the best performance out of them.



He kept going on and on about how he thinks I look like Ally Sheedy from The Breakfast Club. Don’t know if that is true but he certainly felt that way, he even pulled up a picture of her on the internet during the audition. He also told me I have a good fresh young clean look. He really liked my headshot. It was so nice to finally get feedback from someone who is actually successful and working daily in the acting industry. This man is a casting director who is currently casting shows. So just meeting with him and getting seen by him could turn out to be a huge networking opportunity.



Andrew, Nick, Brandon and I all made it to the audition for the agents. I was a little skeptical with all of us making it, but their manager said that other clients of hers didn’t make it and that the casting director really likes actors with theatre background.



I am super excited for the audition and the opportunity. The audition is this next Tuesday so I will definitely keep you updated. Wish me luck!
