• went to see "Mars Attacks!" from Theater Hora.
• rehearsed with "die Freischwimmer".
• went to Brig to sign for a bank account in Switzerland for the playades where my very best acting friend Eva Mann is a member. Met her very fun friend Cindy! And had a look at Brig. *Check*
•  Got definitely into Jingle Jungle and signed the contract! Fingers crossed I'll get jobs now!
• Asked Alice Brauner the CEO of CCC Films what she thinks of withoutabox.com
• got an account on withoutabox.com
• made a project to promote & distribute my movie from ZFF 2014 "Zufalls Zauber" starring Gabriel da Silva.
• went to cologne for four days to shoot with Kunst & Verstand. Though I waited a lot and only could get 30 Seconds in front of the camera, it was an adventure and fun to meet other actors!
• skyped with my acting friend Will Cohn
• worked on my acting blog (a new one)
• had a call with Kunst & Verstand where after he was shocked about my age. So I guess, that this is over.

Here I go again!!!

Received the new dates for rehearsal with die Freischwimmer.

Read the Play "The Balcony-Scene" by John Chapman & Anthony Marriot at Café Hubertus. I help direct my friend Eva Mann at LAWUA.

Instead of the Play "The Balcony-Scene" I found a lot about Romeo & Juliet among these, a monologue by Orlando Bloom.

Ask Testo about the new frame of work and set new dates. 

Had lunch with Eva.

Go to LAWUA with my friend Eva to see how she directs and what the progress of the play is, so I can coach them too.

Discussed with my friend Johannes Just from the Band Liricas Analas, if an artists management be wise already. we figured not yet.

Got a call from a director whom wants to produce a TV-Series and sent him pictures he requested.

Before I read the Synopsis.

Recalled him on Sunday and he wanted to meet me but I have an appointment at 16.00 o'clock! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!!

So I resent pictures of me and I hope he likes them.

Prepared for Testo shooting.

Called my mom if she could send me a picture with short hair form me, because I wanted to let this director know how I'd look with it. And of course I probably need her car, on that she offered me to buy one for me.

here some of the pictures I sent to him. Hopefully not to provocative.

• went to see Rolf Sommer at Theater Rigiblick in his one man comedyshow "Sommer im Weltall"
• The director was very unserious. No company name, no email adress of a company, a yahoo adress and you didn't find anything about someone called Marco online. I asked the production company mentioned in the email (letters, everyone can write some letters into an email, but not everybody gets a logo of a company) and so far they didn't answer. But an acting friend of mine got the same calls and emails from him and when her boyfriend called as her manager, it all lead to the presumption that it's about a pron. But honestly real pron productions are visible in the internet. So this one must be super faked!
• Rehersal at Testo.
• Shooting with Testo. I had something like my own actingcoach. The CEO wanted to make sure the Shoot is done the he wants. Really cool.
• Forgot to take pictures. But I have one of the wall in my Hotelroom! It's a great message!

• Got an email from Kunst & Verstand! Remember? I thought this never happens, but most likely I'm going to shoot with him! *ohmygod*
•  Called Kunst & Verstand and suggested him some of my acting friends. Rolf Sommer, Eva Mann, Garbiel da Silva and Joachim Aeschlimann!
• Wrote an email to show to know for something with acting and we had a very fun talk. We'll meet next monday!!! YAY!
• had my final casting as a speeker at jingle jungle! Hopefully you'll hear soon an ad with me!
• went to see slava's snowshow with freischwimmer.ch
• shooting for bubbles dance with awesome marc from HDTV!
• got an interview with show to know.
• gave a speech class at Lawua.

how I'd plan my acting career if I could go back in time

If I could plan my acting career again I'd do these things different.

• I'd start at a community theatre with 14 years to get to know director who could help me and give me tips on courses and other things. These community theatres are quite good, Die Schatulle, Heubühne, Die Dramateure, Junges Theater Winterthur. Or go for Konstanz because they act in german.
• go for an acting course at Junges Schauspielhaus Zurich.
• Apply for the one year programm at burgtheater.
• go for open stage contests, Burgtheater, Böser Montag, Schräger Mittwoch, Kafi für Dich.
• I'd join an improv group because it helps to get couragous and helps to a better self esteem.
• I'd try to get to Gymansium Rämibühl for Theater AG.
• I'd apply at agencies already, because teenagers are rare.
• I'd audition at all big acting schools in the german area from 18 until my final possible year with 24. there is an age limit in the german area. and go there no matter how evil it is.
• I'd try to network much earlier but I did. Already as a teenager.
• I'd go for courses at Herbert Fischer, Focal, Summerschool in USA at any University such as Guildhall, Bill Esper, Julliard.
• Try to already audition and find my jobs on 451.ch, theaterpädagogik.ch, theater.ch, studentfilm.
• make my own movies and send them to film festivals.
• go for premieres at Schauspielhaus or other bigger poductions.

and of course I did all that already in my teens and not in my twenties.
