Gina Wilhelm Actress - National Day of Puppetry
April 28th was the National Day of Puppetry. Gina Wilhelm Actress celebrated by watching some excellent puppets and puppetry in "Ghostbusters" in 70 mm at the beautiful Cinerama in Seattle.
The film was preceded by a talk from Sam Longoria, who worked on the film, including in some capacities with the onionhead/"Slimer" puppet.
Several puppet centers held workshops and other special events, including the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA, and the Puppet Guild of Greater St. Louis, Inc.
My celebration will continue this week with the opening of Thistle Theatre's production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears at Sunset Hill Community Club in Ballard, WA (3003 NW 66th Street). Shows are Friday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m., and May 5 and 6 at 1 and 3 p.m. Tickets are $8 for children and seniors, $9 for adults.
I will also be performing with Thistle Theatre at the Fussy Cloud Puppet Slam on May 5 at 8 p.m. at Theatre off Jackson, 409 7th Avenue South. Tickets are $10.
Happy National Day of Puppetry!

Many Meetings on Auditions
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Audition Meetings
This afternoon I met with two friends to talk about auditions and how I can improve my results in them.
My first meeting was with Cyndi Thomsen, who directed me in "A Christmas Story" and was present at my Theatre Puget Sound general audition.
At our meeting, she suggested a variety of things, including meeting with a singing teacher who could find a song that suits me well and isn't likely to be sung by every other actress coming into the room.
She suggested a number of classes, as well as taking something like Zumba or yoga to keep limber and active.
The most important thing she advised was to find monologues and songs that really show who the actor is.
As a director, she's had people come in and obviously audition for a particular role. Those people don't generally get the part. But those who connect to their monologue tend to get the callback and often the role.
She suggested asking onself, "What am I saying to the director?"
Afterwards, I met with Sam Longoria, writer, director, producer, editor, and actor. We wrote an audition monologue together. It's hilarious, and I can guarantee no one else will perform it at my next audition.
Thank you so much to both Cyndi and Sam for your invaluable help!
