My first Infomercial! The casting directors for this Infomercial didn’t want to see me for an audition (the culprit: my glamorous red hair!) But my spunky agent sent me anyway, and I booked the job! And what a job! I got paid to crack jokes and eat. Well, also to hit the major talking points. …
What better way to respond to the prospect of global warming than to drop a few choice words on a weathercast? That’s the premise of my last commercial to hit the airwaves. It’s for the Climate Reality Initiative, created by Al Gore (who also created the internet). I am Le Grand Finalé!
Is that blurry video of Eileen dancing like a goofball? Only one way to find out…. This is an “industrial”, a video that companies create for their own internal use…except this one is so good the company loves to show it off! In our story, I’m part of an old school account team frozen in…
I confess I have developed a taste for champagne after a lifelong preference for sparkling cider. WHAT does this have to do with my casino commercial? Just that the casino’s advertising executive at the shoot handed me a flute of beautiful, sparkling Cava (Spain’s champagne) as a prop. And Cava is too delightful to waste. …
The morning of the shoot was beautiful and clear and 80 degrees by 9am. It immediately became clear to me that I needed to nail my lines quickly, before beads of sweat started showing up on my dress. My husband and fellow actor, Jorge, auditioned for the same commercial. But we auditioned for different roles…
I feel fortunate that I can audition for twice as many commercials because I’m bilingual (so Speak Spanish, kids!) I’ve been cast in both English language and Spanish spots, but it really comes in handy when the commercial is being shot in both languages. The Bapist Medical Plaza commercial is one of those cases! But what’s said…
So I go on one of my first auditions for a commercial in New York. They had a script in English but wanted me to also spontaneously translate the script into Spanish so I could audition in both languages. I did the deed and earned myself a callback that very afternoon. Uh-Oh. I had tickets…
Nice to start the new year shooting a new commercial! We shot this one on a very cold morning in Hallandale Beach, Florida just outside the new, multi-million dollar studios of Miami ABC Station WPLG. My costar in this 30-second spot is Lisa Bunbury, co-owner of Actors Info Booth, an awesome resource for Florida-based actors. …
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up! I’m hurt and I can’t pay up! From that proud line of accident commercials comes 711-HURT! This is airing throughout Florida, including Jacksonville, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Naples… Rest assured no one was actually injured before, during, or after the taping of this commercial.
Navarro Pharmacies, a family-owned & operated South Florida chain, is taking on the national chains. This is one of two commercials I shot with them over one weekend. In this one, another shopper and I drag-race our shopping carts around the store in a mad-dash competition to snag all the fabulous deals in an G-rated…
