Hey everyone!
Update on my journey towards securing commercial agent representation! For those following my lounge posts, you know I've been diving into the world of Los Angeles-based commercial agents via YouTube videos. One recurring theme that's got me excited? Travel! Commercial actors often jet-set domestically and internationally for shoots.
So, naturally, getting my U.S. Passport made it to the top of my to-do list. But, as life would have it, here's where things took an unexpected turn. Last evening, Representative Jimmy Gomez, CA-34, sent out an email announcing a U.S. Passport Fair for his constituents. Props to him for always staying engaged with us!
Excitedly, I had my paperwork ready and my passport photo taken, only to find out that all the slots for the fair were taken when I tried to register! Lesson learned: Always keep an eye on all email accounts, especially the ones where career opportunities might pop up unexpectedly.
Moral of the story? I'm registering my acting Gmail account with Representative Gomez's office. They provide fantastic services that can boost my career, but missing out due to a slow email check? Not again!
Stay tuned for more updates and lessons from this wild ride towards chasing dreams! And hey, let me know if you've got any passport tips or similar experiences. Sharing is caring, right?

I agree Matthew Gross Regularly checking your email is an important part of out career. Also, paying attention to submission deadlines, as I recently missed an opportunity by not looking at the deadline sooner. Btw, you can make an appointment at your local Post Office for submitting passport paperwork.
