Milan Tomorrow - the adventure continues

Hi to my first couple of followers!!!!

Exciting times and nice to hear some good comments on my blog as well from friends and from people ive never met before as well.

So after a crazy day rushing round today to castings for a tv commercial (that im not sure what it was) and for a contact lens company, I am in work at Smart Live Casino channel 869 on sky. Here til 9pm. In the mean time I am trying to get all my passport details sent through for a job Ive been confirmed for in Milan!

Its for a clothing company (the brand I havent heard of before) but it has been booked through my Italian agency, Bravo Models. Exciting because its the first job I've received through them and hopefully if all goes well will see me heading out there on a more regular basis too. Its always good for guys especially to have agencies across the world as it simply enough increases the chances of more work.

Ive never ever been to Italy before so i am really excited to be out there all be it for a couple of days. But this is what works like, all very last minute, one day getting told your not confirmed for a big job and feeling angry, pissed off and wanting to throw it all in, to the next getting a big job in another country! Its like a yoyo!!! ha.

Will update more later on and continue getting everyone up to date with whats happened to me in the past too.

Working on ITV Jackpot247

First of all excuse the expression on my face ha ha - difficult capturing a screen shot whilst live on TV and you never know what kind of faces you will be pulling ha. I'm also sure those who are watching probably see me do things and say things that I have no idea why I'm saying ha, so I apologise for that. HOW IT STARTED After working on another casino show on and off for 4 years, I was always looking to start moving things forward and to look for new opportunities, and to be brutally honest to get out of the previous place. (I'm not going to talk about the other place in this post but will do another one specifically about that very soon.) The opportunity came up a while ago when a friend of mine started working for the company Netplay on Supercasino which is on channel 5. He has the same agency as me and so our booker sent my showreel over to them. Fortunately for me, they kept hold of my details until they started recruiting again and I was very lucky to be abl

Contact Lens Job - Amazing how its shot

Hi all, Yesterday I had a job for a contact lens company that to be honest I didnt really know too much about what the job entailed. I arrived a nice late call time of half 10 to see a studio that was filled with people and everything was in the process of being set up. It was a commercial, or so I thought. What I then found out a bit later was that I was shooting a "how to use contact lenses" video for the companies website. Very random, but at the same time I must admit I thought very very easy! mistake! So the day started sitting chatting to the girl model there, an Anerican girl called Mel, married to an English Director, who had some amazing stories to tell. Thats whats great about jobs sometimes when you get to meet such a range of people with some incredile stories. Mel was great and we got on great, which always makes a job a lot easier. Make up artist had some great stories too about jobs when she was younger and abroad, about all the inner crew relationships! ha ha

Coping with Disappointment

Image
Being a self employed model and TV presenter often brings about a great amount of opportunities for exciting and potentially life changing jobs that could arise. As discussed previously, I had a great opportunity for some regular work with style haul, a very successful YouTube channel. The casting for this went extremely well and I received some immediate feedback about the job. However, unfortunately for me nothing came to fruition and I didn't get the job. Complete disappointment. Coping with this disappointment is something that I have had to get used to over the past 5 years of my life. It's quite an incredible emotion to have to deal with on such a regular basis. I think back to when I worked previously away from the entertainment industry and the only possible disappointments I could have got was being rejected a pay rise or a promotion, which may have happened once or twice in 6 years! It is very different when for work I have to regularly audition for jobs and roles in
