That is exactly how I feel right now after a super charged meeting with our new accounts and development person for The Blake Aaron Radio Show. We have this incredible, positive energy around us and we are gaining steam. Who would have thought after a two-year journey of what felt like a zillion auditions and another zillion tries at online voice submissions...all, to find myself back at my two passions: radio and fitness. If I could add event management in, I would be living the dream! Of course, the fact that I'm healthy and my family is healthy is a dream. Truly. So, we are adding affiliates and getting requests to be on the show...I feel alive as a co-host and I know I am wired for this. Same with personal training. Changing lives and turning folks onto pushing iron and working hard. Wow! So, I'm still going on a few auditions...had one last week for a tailgating infomercial. Got paired up with a guy who obviously decided to "take charge" of the scene. Whatever. His energy would have sucked the life out of me before but I'm "experienced" now so I can block it. I think he bugged the casting directors, too, but who knows, maybe he got the husband role...I Didn't get the gig, but I felt really good about my performance. That's what you hope for in an audition. Also, did a VO for a USC thesis movie and my newscaster role for Justified is getting screened with the movie this Friday! I'm sure just when radio and fitness gets busier than ever, I'll get a bunch of auditions for gigs that seem "perfect" for me. That's the way it goes. Until then, this girl is feeling oh so optimistic and I sincerely hope that all of you have something in your lives that is giving you optimism and giving you a charge; something that uses your inherent talents; your experience...your education and/or your training!
