View My Website		 First of all I wanted to thank Explore talent for getting me out there and starting to network for jobs. I went to 3 auditions this past weekend, and have gotten the lead on a student film!! My first call-back! I also landed a role on another Indie film that will
begin filming the end of December! Three auditions, two call-backs. Not bad! I am finally on my way thanks to Explore Talent!
