LoveSick review love rolling in!

A Taste of Dawn (Garcia) said some beautiful things about LoveSick after last night's performance and gave me a particularly glowing mention ... "Mother, who needed to be loved by the wrong men, her demise and journey will rip into your soul. Vanessa Vaughn took my breath away. Her performance was nothing short of perfection. She pulled so much out of me – I hurt when she hurt. And as you watch “mother” on stage, you are mesmerized by her entire presence.”

So nice to see that Dawn clearly loved our ensemble and the overall production, too... “As the story continues to unfold, you will feel everything. You will know that what you’ve witnessed is nothing short of genius. It’s quick witted, phenomenally acted, and deeply soul stirring. You will laugh, cry, gasp, feel turned on and want to get on stage and be a part of it all. LOVESICK is brilliant. In every way. I would like to see this on a bigger platform. It deserves to be on Broadway. It deserves to be it’s own film. It is far too powerful to stay confined and I hope to see it get the exposure it deserves.”

*I am NOT onstage 2/2 & 2/3*

I'm shooting a film and it unfortunately conflicts so an understudy is jumping in for me. While I'm excited to be on set, I'm already feeling separation anxiety! Can't imagine what I will feel this weekend. Something similar to what parents feel when they first leave a baby with a sitter perhaps? Eek!

But the show is amazing and deserves a packed house every weekend! So see it this weekend and then come back again on 2/9, 2/10, 2/16, 2/17, 2/23 & 2/24 to see me :)

Missing theatre work to do film work, I know, I know... It's a good problem, yes! Believe you me, a well paid acting gig is the ONLY reason I would ever want anyone to step in for this role. I originated Mother almost three years ago and this is the 4th incarnation of our show. I'm in love and sick for her!

Come see the show and you will be, too.

*Big thanks to Dawn for supporting LoveSick and writing such a glorious review for us. I'm happy to have met her and excited to keep up with her adventures and writing at www.ATODmagazine.com

I'm honored to have originated the role of Mother in LoveSick... and so happy to have been in the show since it's original LA production in the summer of 2011. Taking LoveSick to FringeNYC in August 2012 was a highlight of my 21 years doing theatre. I'm excited to see where else this show will go...

Hope to see you in our audience soon!

New Manager!

Last Friday November 30th I signed with management through Abraxas Talent! They are representing me across the board for Theatrical, Commercial, Print and Voice-over.

I got the chance to meet everyone at a red carpet event today and they all recognized me from my pictures even though they hadn't all met me previously... Guess they're submitting me a lot. So nice to feel this supported.

I get new headshots this weekend and will soon be shooting modeling pics for commercial, catalogue and fashion... new pictures will hopefully allow me to be submitted even more and BOOK!

These are all big steps in reaching as many goals as possible in 2012 and beyond... YES!

Workshops, a producer session, new headshots & VO auditions galore!

Happy Fall, everyone!

I hope this cool weather is finding you to be happy and healthy. I am busy as ever and content.

I'm recording multiple VO auditions daily, I went straight to producers for Bunheads, I just shot new headshots, I'm taking 2-5 casting director workshops a week and soon begin rehearsals for LoveSick again with LOFT ensemble. LoveSick got SUCH great feedback and press at FringeNYC 2012, we're bringing it back to LA in January 2013... see more details at www.LOFTensemble.com

Here are some of my favorite new headshots taken by my lovely friend, Grace Acker. Besides having studied photography, she's a yogi and she works in commercial casting... Another renaissance woman, love that. See more of her work at www.PhotoGrace.com and keep in mind these are not retouched.

As always you can see my clips, reels, reviews and photos at www.VanessaVaughn.net
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
