Week Twelve

Week Twelve.

Oki doki, in the spirit of honest accountability I have taken sweet FA photos this week and footage so pulling together a reel tomorrow is going to be supremely interesting... However I have made good headway on everything else considering I got my shit together last Wednesday and gave myself until Monday to make some headway. 

I did a workout, I did some singing and my reels are getting more views! Yay!

See below for updates and my fresh Goals.

Goals for the Week - Update

Finalise one Seed Grant proposal

I am currently pulling together a (NZ) Seed Grant proposal. I would like to finalise the proposal this week. Starting work on scripts would also be ideal but I can also work on these early next week.

Okay, she didn't quite finalise it but the entire proposal and script portion is now in it's penultimate draft form. TUESDAY marks final edit day before I ask an unsuspecting victim to proof it for me... THIS WILL BE FINALISED BEFORE I LEAVE FOR EUROPE.

Socials

Create short/catchy intros to my various socials series that I can use at the start of each video to create more consistency and a bit more polish.

Accountability series refresh

Adjust blog and weekly accountability videos so that can reinforce goals and push for more accountability rather than just a mish-mash of retrospective ramblings...

Well as you can see the blog has changed shape to support accountability and I've added a "weekly goals" section into my weekly accountability videos. Admittedly I wondered if it was time to cut these out completely but they've started getting traction, so with the added portion I'm going to keep them going and track progress.

Admittedly Weeks 13-16 may look a little different as I swan around Europe so perhaps the refresh should come when I return in November with a renewed sense of vigour!

Vocal Practice

Restart regular vocal practice with the Cheryl Porter course. Do at least 3 times this week.

Nope. She did singing but not the course. THIS IS NOW A RENEWED WEEK 12 GOAL.

Agency Reach Out

After months of 'no' and silence I need to rejig a new plan. One that is fun for me. I need to review my footage and decide on next steps. REGAIN CONTROL. Need plan finalised this week.

Yes. Plan is rejig my package so that it is positions me in the best light for roles I would be put up for, be proud of all the material I include and try again.

So, first stage is...

RESEARCH - Highly targeted research on actresses in the UK market that are my "type", look at headshots, showreels, recent work, how they market themselves and use this as a basis for generating content for my showreel.

RESHOOT - shameless begging will be administered to bring together a team of creatives and reshoot my showreel. This will include three scenes with a Modern RP Accent, Estuary English Accent and one other British Accent to be shot in my flat and pulled together into an exceptional package. I will book the shoot date in for mid-November by mid-October so that I am working to a deadline. THIS LEAVES ONE WEEK TO EDIT LIKE ALL HELL. Then, I will adjust my agency email and my singing reel and aim to send the following Tuesday-Thursday. Then I will have a cup of tea and a lie down. This leaves the first two weeks of December to meet with agents before heading back to NZ for Xmas.

PLAN. COMPLETE.
