Lauren EIIiott
Actor
Detroit, MI
"Cool Head, Warm Heart."



Electronic Resume & Headshots (single page format)

Personal Pages (ADD ME!)






As of May 2008, I am officially returning to the industry after a 10-year hiatus (thanks to inspiration provided by the recent Michigan Film Incentives, here's to hoping it works!). Oh, to begin once again as an "older woman".  An adventure I shall enjoy (and an affirmation refrigerator magnet in the making)!

I have worked as a print model and spokes model (mostly in the health and fitness industries; I am a titled fitness athlete); also in industry, infomercials and industrial films; in television as a spokesperson and host. I am currently enrolled in ongoing scene study with various instructors (Strasberg, Stanislavski, Adler, Meisner methods), Improvisation (Second City/Current) and a year-long intensive actor's program at the Michigan Film Institute (Fall 2008). I will begin yet another voice-over program in the Fall.  I have also taken classes, courses and workshops in the singing voice, improvisation, body movement / awareness, public / motivational speaking, life coaching, CGI-blue/green screen, teleprompter, ear prompter, voice-over, production and screen writing.

I am seeking work in theatre, student / industrial / industry / Internet projects, television and commercial gigs, as well a print (commercial) modeling (no nudes, lingerie, glamour or swimsuit gigs--sorry, Dad has a weak heart and a pump shotgun!).  At this time, I am most interested in rebuilding my reel and credits to reflect more recent work so any project of substance is worthy!

I welcome any professional opportunity to rebuild my body of work and hone my craft. I am a team player, professional, thoughtful, considerate and responsible, and am both drawn to and appreciate the same in the people I am afforded an opportunity to work with.  I am looking very much forward to developing lasting relationships and an employable career, and am diligently working at a return to this fun and exciting industry!

NOTE:  My entire resume is not included here as my appearance and type of work has changed significantly in ten years (I was a blonde and tanned "beach babe" (or something to that effect) in my younger working years!). Credit lists available upon request.  View my current Professional Resume (or find a printable version under Photos & Media ->Documents, near the top of this page).

Information of a more personal nature can be found in my Living Resume

If you're looking for acting classes, screenwriting classes, film-making classes, film screenings, networking events, industry or feature film premiers and such, in the Metro Detroit area, you may wish to check out my "EVENTS" Listings, below (be sure to select "See All" in the upper right hand corner to get the full list!).

Thanks for visiting!  I'm always open to Networking with others in the Industry, so feel free to reach out if you should feel a kindred connection!
 
I welcome your acquaintance! : )

CommentI'm such an idiot! I had my profile set to only show comments after I had approved them, but since *I* could see them, I thought I had. D'oh! Fixed that.

Thanks for the fabulous tips and I agree with you completely about Joe Ricci. "Then she told me about it, and I went in and got a car, too. Now that's what we call a good Joe!" Hee!
