Jake Daehler's website

Well, my husband, Jake Daehler, has finally joined the 21st century.  We are working on his website.  He's a terrific voice over talent for radio & TV and this will showcase some of that work.  We need to get him a new headshot as his only one is black & white.  But he's a VO guy so what do you expect?

Had a really good audition yesterday for a PSA National Commercial for cervical cancers.  Call backs won't be until the end of Feb.  Shoot dates are sometime in late March.  Very spread out.  I will have just forgotten all about this audition when I'll get the callback!  Let's think positively.

I mentioned coaching students in their monologues & scenes to prepare them for auditions.  I'm excited about working on this.  I coached a kid (my son) for LaGuardia HS.  If he gets in, my first success story.

I'm going to pursue private coaching: preparing students (& adults) for auditions either with monologues or scenes.  I've been doing this off and on for many years now, ever since I was an artist in residency teacher in Texas.  I'll use whatever works for each individual kid, but I'll mostly draw from my studies of the Meisner technique as taught to me by Fred Kareman.

Website

Thanks so much to my friend Julie. She created this great new website for me and saved me a lot of money in the process. I love it.

On the acting front, I've been out to 5 castings and 1 audition so far this year. Not a great start, but I'm hoping it'll pick up. However, I'm on hold for a trade show in Vegas in April.

I sent my script, "A Self Untitled" to an actress friend of my husband. I've met her a couple of times and she's lovely and would be perfect for the part of the mother. Looking forward to hearing what she says.

A Self Untitled

"A Self Untitled" is a fictionalized play that I wrote, based upon the paintings and diaries of real-life New England artist Beatrice Turner. In the summer of 1913, Beatrice is young, beautiful and talented. She is enticed by her art teacher to pursue a career as a professional painter. His encouragement ultimately causes havoc in the Turner household as the secret between father and daughter is revealed. The issues are timeless and piercingly resonant even today. Stay tuned!
