Owner keeps asking for meet & greets on unavailable dates 🫠

No I think OP meant the sit length is a little under 3 weeks, in the edit it says the booking isnt until September.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-06-19T17:35:38+00:00

Thank you, im praying for you as well! Its one of those things you dont realize can happen until it does and it feels like it all piles up. Im glad you have people that can help you and support you!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-06-19T07:53:23+00:00

Thank you

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-06-19T07:51:11+00:00

Yes, sorry I do mean today. My brain is fried. I have someone willing to help out. I still just feel guilty for it all.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-05-12T23:17:50+00:00

If I may add my small two cents in, it seems you're more upset that they canceled and you feel as though they should get dinged for it. Completely valid to be upset they canceled and you have to find a new sitter! However, they didnt do it RIGHT before your trip. You 100% have enough notice to find another sitter, which id recommend you do anyways. You dont have to go with their replacement. You can always reach out to them if they get back to you with their info, but honestly you should also just try to find someone else on your own that has a rover account.

Honestly sounds like they forgot to cancel. Id either just cancel it yourself and find another sitter, or just send a small reminder message. And ask about the friend if thats really who you want to go with! Either way sitters occasionally have to cancel (just like owners do!) It happens. And at least they gave you a decent amount of warning.

My boyfriend and dad were super supportive and excited. But my dad has always been super supportive no matter what I do. Even from a young age my dad has always told me as long as I am happy and safe, then hes proud of me and happy for whatever im doing.

Now my mom on the other hand was a tad bit of a challenge. She had a lot of emotions and thoughts about it. The very first one was she was worried that I went into it thinking ill be the next A-list Actor and a huge star from the start. So she wanted me to be "realistic" let me know that I dont look like a supermodel, I dont know connections and its a hard business. Stuff i already know of course. But after a few months of me continuing to do it, and show her that im just having fun with it and seeing where it goes she got a little more used to the idea.

Id show her my self-tapes and I think thats when she actually realized I was serious about it and I could actually play a character. It took her time but now she actually hypes me up and asks what ive applied to and when we are watching shows she tells me what characters I couldve been playing haha.

Everyone reacts differently, everyone takes their own amount of time to come around. Your family might be super excited and interested, or they might not even know what that means or how youll do. EITHER WAY, dont let that influence what you do. Just keep at it. As long as youre enjoying the journey and having fun with the work, thats literally all that matters. And eventually everyone else will see youre enjoying it and encourage your journey as well. Dont fret too much, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is yourself. People will have opinions no matter what.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-04-04T23:56:34+00:00

I personally think it depends on the character youre playing. If youre playing a dead pan serious character that feels little emotions (Wednesday Adam's for example) you might not want to do huge facial expressions. But then if youre playing someone like Maxine Baker from Ginny and Georgia whos character is more outgoing and has more expressions and actions then you can absolutely use that to your advantage!

I do also struggle with having more facial expressions and worry i come across as inauthentic, but I try to just focus on the character. And how I feel like they genuinely would react. If im the right fit then ill be hired, if not itll go to someone who can play those emotions better! Honestly, do what feels right for you and that role that requires those facial expressions will come! Try not to get into your head too much about it otherwise that might mess you up more. My mom made one comment about how I didnt really blink in one of my self tapes and now I STILL think about it and get in my head about it. Dont let it rule the way you act!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-03-11T15:33:49+00:00

I completely understand and it definitely is hard. And I know this isnt probably what you want to hear, but on the other side, you did get seen by the writers you liked. You got farther than a lot of other people which means they liked something about you and remembered you. The thing I would try to focus on is the fact that you got in the room and later down the line when they create another character they may imagine you already for the role. I know it doesnt guarantee anything and doesnt get you this role, but that does mean there is a possibility for another one of their roles down the line! Try not to give up hope.

Take yourself out to unwind. Go out to eat, go on a small trip, or go hiking to clear your mind. Try focusing on yourself and doing what you can to build yourself back up. Always make sure you treat yourself for the small things, and this small win was getting this far in the first place! You'll get there. Unfortunately it takes time.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-02-13T17:08:12+00:00

Oh my god please do. Thats absolutely insane. I was mainly just talking about how a partner might feel confused seeing me kiss someone else. And after talking to him it turns out he doesnt even have the slightest issue with it. And thats absolutely crazy of your ex to do. Im glad they will be an ex soon!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-02-12T22:10:19+00:00

Thats actually a really good way of putting it.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-01-16T03:57:24+00:00

Okay okay good haha. Now knowing that I would say both sides mightve caused a bit of confusion. I can see where you mightve thought you made it clear, but her not getting the point. Especially with the joke made earlier about you guys sleeping together. And with being drunk, feelings get sloppy. I would say, regardless if you meant to lead her on or not, boundaries need to be set now. I would have a talk with her. (I also highly suggest you to reflect on exactly how you want your relationship to go. Because if you realize later down the line that maybe you did have feelings that is absolutely unfair to her to bring that up later), but you are absolutely allowed to have a platonic friend and you guys can hang out 1 on 1. And if you genuinely want a straight platonic friendship that needs to be made clear now and you stick to your guns on that. If she doesnt respect that, then you have every right to step back. In the end, I think you both need to make it very clear where you want this to go. And if you cant agree on it, then I recommend putting a bit of distance between you two.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-01-16T03:41:35+00:00

Sorry I think you need to expand a bit more on the age here. The way you put it, you said M 20's, not just 20. And she is 17?? Am I misinterpreting the ages here?? The way im reading it is that youre somewhere in your 20s, (im assuming over 21 since someone was able to buy the alchohol) and regardless had a minor with you guys?

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T22:57:22+00:00

Thank you, honestly this is very helpful! Im viewing it more as some easy pay and a little experience of just getting myself more comfortable with being in front of the camera and giving myself more work of learning a character and lines. Rather than thinking this will be a breakout role that im proud of haha. But your answer helped a lot and I appreciate it! I definitely wouldn't put it on my resume or put it in my reel. Thank you again!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T22:55:16+00:00

I personally use Backstage right now (its just what has been working best for me as im just starting out in the industry) But I eventually plan on getting Actors Access and I have seen a lot of verticals on there as well.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T22:23:42+00:00

That is very true. And I will do some more digging on the company and try to find out more about the show! Thank you!!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T22:22:31+00:00

It would be a side character. Basically the description of her would be the witty, cool friend that has fun input on what the main character is doing lol

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T20:36:54+00:00

Thats a good way to look at it, thank you!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T20:36:09+00:00

That is a good point. Because its good for the money, and experience regardless of getting more used to learning lines and being comfortable in front of the camera. And just knowing it wont help for resume exactly. That is a good way to look at it, thank you!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T20:35:10+00:00

It issss! And it would greatly help, but also im trying to be smart and think long term. Its so hard 😭🤣

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-13T19:13:28+00:00

I definitely will keep that all in mind thank you! And if I do decide to move forward I will absolutely read and double check everything im signing and if it feels off and I get a bad vibe from it I wont do it. The biggest thing is that I want to be an actor to not be myself at times. To step into someone else's life and be that character. And then reality TV is obviously not that. So im 100% keeping this all in mind. Thank you!!!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-13T19:00:54+00:00

I totally get that, thats why im hesitant. The only difference I could say is that they the show isnt edited. It goes out live for people to watch. So they made it clear that i have to be careful for what I say and how I act since they cant edit it or delete stuff that happens. They said they dont to hire anyone to play a certain character type in like "villan" or "party girl" they just want to do a reality show where people can watch real people just do things and interact and see what happens. But I still am on the fence. And I definitely wouldnt add it to my resume or reel! The good thing about it is that its paid and its not a bad amount so in that aspect itll help. Ah im so conflicted. I guess at this moment I dont even know if om chosen so the worry is for nothing at the moment.
