Superstar?
So recently I have found myself doing an interesting job, not something I really ever pictured myself doing but one that I am really enjoying. We have a neighbor who works for a company filming training videos. You know, the kind of thing a business would buy to show all their employees; i.e. sexual harassment training, training on different kinds of government regulations, computer skills training. The list goes on and on. Anyway, one day my neighbor called and was in a jam, the girl he had lined up to play a small part in one of his videos, couldn't do it and he needed someone to fill in the next day. I hesitantly agreed, I really had never done anything like this before. In high school I took some modeling classes and did a ZCMI show but that was about it. I had never done anything on camera before. Yikes! I was freaked out! I showed up the next day and well lets just say I must have nailed it. :) This was just a little part and I had a blast doing it, but recently the company has contracted with me to be the presenter in a couple of training videos.What this means is that I do all the voice over work and on the camera training. I get to put on a suit, put on gobs of makeup and hairspray and then stand in front of a camera and act super professional. It's pretty awesome! The most recent ones I did was a Sexual Harassment Prevention video and one on HIPAA Regulations. It turns out that I like doing this stuff. Its kinda fun being in front of a camera.:) Ok, so I'm eons away from being a "Superstar" but a girl can dream, right? The best thing about this job is that I only work maybe 1 or 2 days a
month. I have a few days to learn the script then I spend a day or two
in the studio. Its a perfect job for a stay at home mom!
