Acting & Presenting Website



Finally I am able to introduce my very basic and non-complicated Acting and Presenting website! The purpose of my site is to simply link industry professionals to me and keep everyone up to date on the acting and presenting work that I do.

One function that's really cool (and very organised) is the tabs that are featured on my website!
You have an F tab which connects you to my facebook, IN tab which links you to my CV on LinkedIn, a Youtube tab which features my showreels, B tab that directs you straight to my blog!

Truth be known it has taken me a long time (years actually) to put a website together but as time has passed I have heard more and more that it is important to have a website because it shows you in good professional light as well as portrays dedication and seriousness in your craft. I'm not sure how much of this is true because I would have thought that my relentless communication, constant marketing and PR, creating my own projects and constantly being hired to work on others projects was "dedication and seriousness"..but maybe not? Add a lengthy trip to LA for training, weekly acting classes here in Melbourne and regular experience working in front and behind the camera ... and you'd think I'd be standing in pretty good light, right?

Well, here's to my new website, may it provide me with yet another small push in the right direction.. and if that doesn't work I have plenty more up my sleeve because an artist that is serious about her craft never gives up!

Speak To Me!

Every now and then I need a little inspiration and my favoured form of inspiration is expressed through home-wares and interior decorating. Both mediums often reflect on my mood, outfits, style, the shoes I wear, what I eat and even where I go - it's what I rely on for direction and motivation in my work and life.

I thought I'd share the inspiration that has me reeling this week.. and just so you know.. I research my 'inspirtation' for hours, sometimes days, until I find just the right thing that speaks volumes to me and that I connect with.

Here we go, enter Kelly Wearstler..





..and now I can breathe..
