The Woo Audience

So I’m feeling like it has been a while since I updated y’all on life… so here goes!

Did anyone see the “Woo Girl” episode of How I Met Your Mother? You know, the one guest starring the amazing(ly hot) Jamie Lynn Sigler… Well for those of you who live under a rock and haven’t caught the craze yet, it’s about…you guessed it, the girls who love to yell “Wooooo!” in public. Check out the actual definition of a woo girl here. Performing TI, one becomes privy to some pertinent bits of knowledge, one of which is the phenomenon known as the “Woooo Audience.” Every actor knows what I’m talking about – the audience that goes “Woooo” when you get done singing that huge number or take your curtain call. As an actor, I pride myself on determining the success or failure of a show entirely on the number of woos we get after big numbers and during curtain call. The woo is a source of pride for me, and woo girls should not be the only audience members allowed to let loose – in fact, studies have shown the woo audience, much like the woo girl, is quite contagious, so if you hear a woo come from the crowd – be sure to chime in yourself and let us actors onstage know how awesome we are, after all, I am judging my performance based solely on your woos :) .

In other news, I have created a reviews page, highlighting just how awesome I am. Actually, this flies in the face of everything I stand for as a performer; I firmly believe that (as John Herrera – original LJS – taught me) everybody has their own opinion… but Curt Dale Clark (Dr. Livesey & actor extraordinaire) says this will help get me jobs – and when an actor who has had a combined total of negative three months off of work in the last hundred years gives you career advice, you listen. So read away and let the judging begin.

I’m still working on the long awaited video blog, so keep an eye out – it should be up shortly!

That’s all for now – I think the brilliant Eddie Curry may be guest writing the next entry, so stay tuned for that!!!!

Drink up Me Hearties, YO HO!

    Don’t let Curt Dale know you said he’s been working for the past hundred years… That would imply that he’s over a hundred years old, and he’s obviously 28. 28 and extraordinary, it’s true.
