Brooklyn was 23 years old when she let her first potential big
break slip away. A dramatic child out of the womb, Brooklyn was destined for
stardom. She starred in all of her high school musicals, and her instructor
down the street at the local community theatre informed her parents on a weekly
basis how gifted their daughter is. Overcome with bombarding stress that
accompanies living on one’s own for the first time, Brooklyn found herself
struggling to balance her dream of pursuing an acting career and maintaining
her current job that supports her newfound pile of bills on the kitchen table.
She had heard of an audition in L.A. seeking an actress with
a background in singing to star in an upcoming sit com. Brooklyn fit the
character description perfectly: height 5’7’’-5’9’’, brunette, hazel eyes. The
audition, however, was that following morning when Brooklyn was scheduled to
work. Having been in trouble before with her boss, and concerned about losing
her job—her one source of income—Brooklyn found herself in a quandary of what
to do. Afraid of losing her job, and nervous of failing in the audition room,
she decided to miss the audition. Just hours of making this decision, it dawned
on Brooklyn that in order to commit to pursuing her dream, she would have to
overcome her two fears of being fired and of failure. After all, the industry
waits for no one.
