Welcome!

By way of introduction, my name is Stacey Bradshaw, and I am an actress!  My background is in theater, but in 2010 I made the switch from stage to screen.  As of November 2013, I have worked on 6 short films and 9 feature films, with 5 of those being leading roles and 6 supporting roles.

I actually started out working on crew for a couple of feature films, which has really helped me as an actress because I understand what each member of the crew needs from me and how I can make their job easier.  A little bit of cooperation goes a long way to making things run smoother and faster.

God has blessed me with wonderful opportunities to be involved in the filmmaking industry in the past few years, and I eagerly look forward to seeing what adventures He has in store for the future! Above all things, I want to be following His plan for my life, serving Him with my gifts, and bringing Him honor and glory in everything I do. Without Him, I am nothing, and through Him, I can do anything!

Random facts about me:

I’m a simple country girl with an old fashioned heart. I’ve been told that I would fit nicely into the mid-1800′s or anywhere during the 1940′s or ’50′s…and I’m inclined to agree. Having grown up on old western movies, I’m also a cowgirl at heart.  Roy Rogers is my hero.

Some favorite pastimes include reading classic literature (or modern Christian detective books), writing stories and screenplays, singing Broadway tunes and songs from the ’40′s and 50′s, dancing whenever I can (ballroom, swing, contra, etc.), sewing costumes from all eras, attending historical reenactments, and watching old movies.

So why did I start this blog?

Well, I have a lot of young people asking me how to get started in acting, how to submit video auditions, how to hear about casting calls, etc.  Some of those questions don't have an easy answer, so I figured the best thing would be to invite all who are interested to join me on this fun, crazy, exciting journey.

I want to use this blog to share tips and tricks, useful information, helpful advice, casting calls, etc. I've spent innumerable hours wading through countless articles, I've talked to professionals in the industry, and I've learned a lot from personal experience on the way.  I want to share what I've learned with you, as well as stories and pictures from my acting adventures.

My life is crazy busy (I've been acting in one film right after the other since April), so I can't promise to post regularly, but whenever I have the chance, I'll be sharing cool stuff with you.

So whether you're interested in acting, or just interested in keeping up with my crazy adventures, I invite you to like my blog and share it with your friends!

While you're waiting for my next post, hop on over and have a peek at my website.  You can read more about me, see pictures and movie trailers for some of my films, and link to my other sites like IMDb, Facebook, and more.

Thanks for stopping by!
