So I hope you all tune in tomorrow for a great show!...I promise you'll laugh at least once;)

Check out some Awesome Musician's in the Cast!

Check out ellagsell.com for some upbeat dance songs and some beautiful ballads .....“Ella G’Sell has the kind of voice that makes a difference. In the same way that Robert Smith of the cure, or Morrissey have the voice of no other, so does Ella. Both warm and dark, her melodies express honesty and passion.” –The Cat Club

Check out Melissa and her Sister Michelle (Twins) Singing at House of Blues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf_8cXDIVuk or check out her website www.michellemacedomusic.com. Michelle has an amazing Indie Pop sound that anyone can jam to!

Check out Sasha Morfaw singing "Hello Love" an original track from Sasha Morfaw on http://www.myspace.com/sashamorfaw ....Sasha really shows off her vocals in this song and leaves you wanting more!"Hello Love" really captures the euphoria and butterflies you feel when you first realize you're in love!

The cast is one dynamic group of individuals...all are working actors and are involved in several areas of the industry...whether it be writing, producing there own music, getting involved in crew work, or doing stand up comedy, whatever you can think of they're doing it! Most recently I booked a series regular on a Disney web series and a Leading Role in a "Educational Industrial" being distributed to schools across America. The oh so talented Ella G' Sell will be playing the role of Sarah ...but she's not only an actress but also a talented musician! Emily Brownell aka Jenny the "hardworking dancer" has been on Fox TVs "Fringe" and has studied with The Upright Citizens Brigade in New York. Emily is currently writing a script of her very own and collaborating with some awesome industry professionals on her project. Delpaneaux Wills has worked on Days of Our lives the new ABC family show "Make it or Break it" and several costar roles on Comedy Central and will star in episode 3 of Cali Dreamers.

Kudos to the CD's in LA

Cali Dreamers was a major learning experience casting wise...I had over 1,000 actors submit on actors access,I looked at 500 or more demo reels, scheduled over 100 to audition, Had about 40 request different times and days, and cast about 8 actors to complete the cast of "Cali Dreamers".  I dare you to do the math on how many hours I set in front of the computer....ALOT. But it was all worth it I met alot of talented actors and got to see the casting process through an entire different view... I got to see what my fellow actors bring to the table and I got to see who and why the people who booked the job...booked the job! And to all you actors out there go in do your best hit your mark and forget about it because you honestly don't know what happened in the room before you came in or after and it doesn't really concern you so why worry about it. Happy Tuesday
