Another Gleeful Day

Hey everyone,
I've been super busy with editing my documentary, Volviendo
www.volviendo.org
and writing a screenplay for a friend that I haven't done a lot of acting. However, I did get another chance to do background on Glee. I thought I'd post this up for you guys just so you can begin to get an idea of how common it is for people around here to randomly work on large productions. It is a lot of fun, yes, but my goal is for all of you to be a little less star-struck by it all. LA has a massive facade, and YOU join me in digging deeper without driving down here and clogging up the freeways even more.
What I think is the best part of all of these huge productions is LUNCH TIME WITH NEW FRIENDS. For example...



Meet "Soundsplosion"!

We were all hired to act as a Glee Club from somewhere in the US that made it to Nationals. We decided that we're all from Hawaii, though our true ethnicities range from Venezuela to English, American mutt (me), Puerto Rican, and African-American. But it was, in the end, Brian's Hawaiian that we all agreed on, since we all loved hangin' out in the sun on break.

The name "Soundsplosion" was one of the names written down on a prop on set. The prop was a board that listed the names of the winners. They decided we were one of them!! Whoot Whoot! So we picked the name fourth or fifth from the top (I can't tell you whether or not "The New Directions" were on the list, or else I will get in trouble.)

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted. I would love to take some Improv classes in the summer, if the good Lord wills. They're aboute $300 a semester, but improv experience really boosts my chances at landing a lot of roles, especially COMMERCIALS. If you feel inclined to contribute, please click the donate button on the left, and it'll show you how.

Thanks for reading and watching! I'll keep you posted on the heat of my iron,
Phillip

  1. Your blog scares me...so much PHIL, and asking for donations for YOUR acting class?

    Ridiculous.

    Self-obsession.

  2. I understand. Perhaps the large photos of my face at the top are too much? I DO want to try and raise money for acting classes, but I DON'T want to attack everyone with my face. Any suggestions about how I should change the layout to not look self-obsessed, but still be able to raise money?
